Popular Masses, Propelling Force of Social History
Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- The Juche idea newly elucidates that the masses of the people are the propelling force of history.

This means that the masses of the people stand in the center of history and the social movement is undertaken by them.

Human history is the course of the social movement of the popular masses, in other words the course of the movement of the propelling force. This is because the masses demand the development of society and they are the very one who undertakes its development.

The social movement itself is unthinkable and there cannot be the development of history apart from the masses.

The masses, the master of construction, are the decisive factor in remaking nature and developing society and the possessor of the most powerful creative ability.

All the things of society are created, history is advanced and revolution promoted by their inexhaustible strength.

The masses make material wealth and ideological and cultural wealth of society by remaking nature and developing productive forces.

The masses are legitimately the propelling force of history, as they create all the things of society and blaze the path of history and advance it.

The active role of the masses in the development of social history increases as their position is elevated and their strength augmented through the transformation of nature and society.

Although the masses of the people are the propelling force of history, they can take their position and play their role as the independent propelling force of history, awakened and organized, only under the correct leadership of the Party and the leader.
