the US imperialists and the south Korean puppets and even the UK establishment and its
hired media.He said that the DPRK was slandered by the imperialist ITN.However it is
good thing that people of the DPRK do not know McDonalds or Starbucks which shows
the DPRK is free from globalisation,that indeed another world is possible and the DPRK
is the realisation of such a world.

Korea the longest.The meeting resolved to take some measures to campaign to get
US troops withdrawn from south Korea.

Dermot Hudson also spoke about the anniversary of the foundation of the DPRK.He said
the DPRK was founded by the popular will of the Korean nation north and south.The
DPRK origins were in the anti Japanese armed struggle.The DPRK had built socialism not
in ideal conditions but on the debris of war and in confrontation with US imperialism.The
DPRK built a powerful people centred socialism and had become a model of socialism.He
said that the DPRK not only maintained socialism but also the Juche character and
national identity.
Kevin Cain read out the paper of Dermot Hudson "The Historical Roots of the Workers
Party of Korea".He said that the WPK's orgins are in the anti Japanese armed struggle
particularly the Down With Imperialism.The WPK is a solid revolutionary party different from
