The quintessential character of Loony Party philosophy is one of protest. But it is not a mindless, anarchic, protest against "The State", or "The Ruling Class". It is a protest against the mediocrity and the vascillating mush and slush of the petty bourgeois politicians who have held the country in a grip of drift and betrayal for the last fifty years. We, the true patriots of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party are immersed in
A march of a thousand miles starts with a single step; the flattening of a mountain starts with a single shovelful; draining the largest ocean starts with a single spoonful. The enormity of the historic task which lies before us, in the struggle to build a true Loony society, is not a barrier to our efforts, but a challenge, and an inspiration. We will never yield from this struggle, because we will be victorious. Even if it takes us a thousand years, the triumph of Loonyism is inevitable.
I think we should have a diverse, tolerant, pluralistic and democratic society in which there is mutual respect for a wide range of different views, cultures and lifestyles. Anybody who dares to suggest otherwise should be ruthlessly exterminated.

The ultimate test will be when the OMRLP is catapaulted into the corridors of power at the next election; and the ultimate triumph will be the establishment of a single-party state on democratic Loony principles. This will inevitably happen within ten or fifteen years of Loony government, as the politicians of the other parties will join the true path of Loony, and the old parties will wither away.
When it is the democratic wish of the people that there is only one party which they want to join, and which they want in government, upholding the pluralistic principles of diversity and freedom, then there will be no need to resort to coercion, proscription, subjugation or the banning of other parties, in the quest for a single-party state. That is the fundamental mistake which was made by the totalitarians of the past. The single-party regimes of the past were imposed and maintained prematurely; the single-party state under an OMRLP government will come from the minds of the people themselves, and will glow warmly in their hearts, like a rainbow in the sunlight, as a beacon of freedom, pluralism, tolerance, and diversity. That is the connection between Juche and Loony.
"To decide once every few years which member of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people in parliament - such is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in parliamentary-constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics."
V. I. Lenin, "The State and Revolution" chapter 3"We are not utopians, we do not indulge in "dreams" of dispensing at once with all administration, with all subordination. These anarchist dreams, based upon a lack of understanding of the tasks of proletarian dictatorship, are totally alien to Marxism, and, in fact, serve only to postpone the socialist revolution until the people are different. No, we want the socialist revolution with people as they are now, with people who cannot dispense with subordination, control, and foremen and bookkeepers.
We ourselves, the workers, will organise large-scale production on the basis of what capitalism has already created, relying on our own experience as workers, establishing the strictest, iron discipline supported by the state power of the armed workers."
"For a long time after the revolution the exploiters inevitably retain a number of great practical advantages: they still have money; some movable property - often fairly considerable; they still have various connections, habits of organisation and management, knowledge of all the customs, methods, means and possibilities of management, superior education, close connections with the higher technical personnel, incomparably greater experience in the art of war, and so on, and so forth."
V. I. Lenin, "The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky""If you are unable to adapt yourself, if you are not inclined to crawl on your belly in the mud, you are not a revolutionary but a chatterbox; and I propose this, not because I like it, but because we have no other road, because history has not been kind enough to bring the revolution to maturity everywhere simultaneously."
V. I. Lenin, Political Report of the Central Committee to the 7th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik), March 1918.
"In order not to err in policy, one must look forward, not backward. Further, if the passing of slow quantitative changes into rapid and abrupt qualitative changes is a law of development, then it is clear that revolutions made by oppressed classes are a quite natural and inevitable phenomenon. Hence, the transition from capitalism to socialism and the liberation of the working class from the yoke of capitalism cannot be effected by slow changes, by reforms, but only by a qualitative change of the capitalist system, by revolution. Hence, in order not to err in policy, one must be a revolutionary, not a reformist."
Joseph Stalin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, writing in "Dialectical and Historical Materialism", 1938"The party is the forward leading detachment of the working class, its progressive fortress and its militant headquarters. Skeptics, opportunists, faint-hearts and traitors must not be allowed to settle inside the headquarters of the working class. To carry out a deadly struggle against the bourgeoisie whilst having faint-hearts and traitors within one's own staff, inside one's own fortress, means finding oneself in a situation where people are being shot at from the front as well as from behind. It is not hard to understand that such a struggle can end only in defeat. Fortresses are easily taken from within. In order to achieve victory, first of all the party of the working class, its leading headquarters, its progressive fortress needs to be purged of all faint-hearts, deserters, strike-breakers, and traitors."
Joseph Stalin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, quoted in "Stalin and the Modern Epoch", published by the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (1999)"The indirect reserves of the revolution can be (a) the contradictions and conflicts among the non-proletarian classes within the country, which can be utilised by the proletariat to weaken the enemy and to strengthen its own reserves; (b) contradictions, conflicts and wars (the imperialist war, for instance) among the bourgeois states hostile to the proletarian state, which can be utilised by the proletariat in its offensive or in manoeuvring in the event of a forced retreat.
It must be presumed that now, when the contradictions among the imperialist groups are becoming more and more profound, and when a new war among them is becoming inevitable, reserves of this description will assume ever greater importance for the proletariat."
"It is already clear to everyone that the bourgeoisie, reactionaries, the fascists and the hooligans with long hair, financed by the international bourgeoisie, are making the law in Czechoslovakia today. Will the Czechoslovak working class and the revolutionaries allow such a thing?"
Enver Hoxha, the chairman of the Albanian Party of Labour and President of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania, writing in "Zëri i Popullit" [Voice of the People], 21st April 1968, commenting on the so-called "Prague spring" under the "ultra-revisionist" and "counter-revolutionary" leadership of Alexander Dubcek in Czechoslovakia"Let us take Yugoslavia, for instance. We long ago came to the conclusion not only that socialism is not being built in Yugoslavia now, but that it had never started to be built, that the Communist Party of Yugoslavia was never a Marxist-Leninist Party. From the legal documents of the Comintern we are acquainted with the rampant factionalist and Trotskyite activity that took place in it. The fact is that Tito was nothing but a disguised, long-standing Trotskyite agent of capital.".
From a meeting with Zhou En-Lai, June 1966"The bourgeois and revisionist concept of life, putting money, pleasure, comfort, luxury, personal ease and well-being above everything, is alien to our people. The consequences of such a concept have become catastrophic in the countries ruled by the revisionists. Political degeneration, moral corruption, running after money and material gain, selfishness and frenzied individualism, the bourgeois way of life and fashion, and hooliganism are what characterise the life of these countries today, a life which is almost indistinguishable from that of western capitalist countries".
From the Report on the activity of the Central Committee of the Party of Labour of Albania to the 5th congress of the PLA"The portentous advice and methods of the conceited intellectual who is divorced from life, from practice, are sterile; they produce nothing, neither bread nor boots, nor butter, neither meat nor houses. Such an intellectual displays nothing but his unhealthy intellectualism, the great deficiency above all in his ideological formation with our Marxist-Leninist world outlook, as a result of which he does not know why he works and whom he should serve. Therefore, if the working class and the cooperativists want to help such an intellectual, in order to correct him and educate him, they should put him to work together with them so that he gets up to his elbows in oil, mud and manure. What is important is the fact that this dirt cleans the stains of the past from the consciousness, prevents the noxious weeds of the bourgeois and revisionist ideology from sprouting and running wild. If there is some intellectual who does not like this and does not correct himself, then, rightly, the working class and the cooperativists should refuse to give him bread, shoes, or a room in which he can lay his head to dream and philosophise.
Why should our working class and peasantry be soft-hearted towards such people, even though they may have emerged from among their own ranks? Why should they be unduly gentle and allow themselves to suffer serious damage and hinder our advance through sickly sentiment? Is this in order to allow a stratum of saboteurs and plotters against socialism to be created among us? It is unthinkable that we should ever close our eyes to such a thing and allow it to happen. In these cases, pity is an expression of petty-bourgeois sentimentality and very harmful. The working class and the cooperativist peasantry want work, honesty, check-up and rendering of account by everyone.
From "How to Understand and Solve Certain Problems of our Socialist Economy Correctly", a speech to workers and cadres, 26th February 1969
"In the social production of their life, men enter into definite relations of production that are indispensable and independent of their will, relations of production which correspond to a definite stage of development of their material productive forces. The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which rises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life processes in general. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness."
Karl Marx, writing in "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy", 1859The bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared with the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in "The Communist Manifesto", 1848
"There is an ancient Chinese fable called "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains". It tells of an old man who lived in northern China long, long ago and was known as the Foolish Old Man of North Mountain. His house faced south and beyond his doorway stood the two great peaks, Taihang and Wangwu, obstructing the way. He called his sons, and hoe in hand they began to dig up these mountains with great determination. Another graybeard, known as the Wise Old Man, saw them and said derisively, "How silly of you to do this! It is quite impossible for you few to dig up those two huge mountains." The Foolish Old Man replied, "When I die, my sons will carry on; when they die, there will be my grandsons, and then their sons and grandsons, and so on to infinity. High as they are, the mountains cannot grow any higher and with every bit we dig, they will be that much lower. Why can't we clear them away?" Having refuted the Wise Old Man's wrong view, he went on digging every day, unshaken in his conviction. God was moved by this, and he sent down two angels, who carried the mountains away on their backs. Today, two big mountains lie like a dead weight on the Chinese people. One is imperialism, the other is feudalism. The Chinese Communist Party has long made up its mind to dig them up. We must persevere and work unceasingly, and we, too, will touch God's heart. Our God is none other than the masses of the Chinese people. If they stand up and dig together with us, why can't these two mountains be cleared away?"
Mao Tse-Tung, Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, in "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains", writing in Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 322, June 11, 1945. The two mountains in the fable represented the historic enemies of feudalism and imperialism.A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.
Mao Tse-Tung, 1927To be good at translating the Party’s policy into action of the masses, to be good at getting not only the leading cadres but also the broad masses to understand and master every movement and every struggle we launch—this is an art of Marxist-Leninist leadership. It is also the dividing line that determines whether or not we make mistakes in our work.
Mao Tse-Tung, 1948Feudalism stands for a social system and thought that has long ago become an adornment to the museum; capitalism has already made its partial entry into the museum and the portions that remain outside the museum have become moribund; they are gulping their last breath, and before long their days are numbered. Only the Communist system and thought, spreading clangorously to the four corners of the world with a Cyclopean, lashing fury, uncurbed and untamed, yet remains hale and strong in its juvenescent and pristine beauty.
Mao Tse-Tung in "New Democracy: Basis of Social, Political and Economic Structure of New China", 1949
"We must establish the habit of working and living in a prepared and militant way in every sphere, full of revolutionary vigour and ardour, and opposed to senility, stagnation, idleness and laxity. Party officials and members must also have revolutionary optimism and a strong desire for work, and give full play to their creativity and zeal, so as to push ahead with all work energetically. At the same time, they ought to acquire high cultural attainments and live optimistic, cultural lives."
Kim Il-Sung, Great Leader and President of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in "The Historical Experience of Building the Workers' Party of Korea", May 1986"In order to keep advancing the revolution and construction, we must always have a far-reaching plan and a new goal, and must establish the enterprising, creative habit of making and developing the newand discarding whatever is old. In any kind of work, we must aim high and carry it on boldly on a large scale, strongly rejecting complacency, inertia, passivity and conservatism."
Kim Il-Sung, ibid"The aggressive, predatory nature of imperialism has not changed; it is becoming more devious with the passage of time. Today the imperialists, with a nuclear weapon in one hand and a purse in the other, are spreading decadent bourgeois culture and are threatening and blackmailing the peoples of other countries by force of arms."
Kim Il-Sung, "Let Us Accomplish The Cause of Socialism And Communism Under The Revolutionary Banner of Juche", 1988"Aggression and plunder are the real nature of imperialism. No matter how the international situation may change, the dominationist ambition of the imperialists will not change. Nothing is more foolish and dangerous than pinning hopes on the imperialist aid, being unable to see through the aggressive and predatory nature of imperialism. The imperialist aid is a noose of plunder and subjugation aimed at robbing ten, and even a hundred, things for one thing that is given. The revolutionary parties and peoples must see clearly the miserable situation in the countries and nations which harboured illusions about imperialism, must always hold on to the anti-imperialist, independent stand and wipe out even the slightest element of illusions about the imperialists."
Kim Jong-Il, Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Chairman of the Korean Workers' Party, writing in "On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of the Revolution and Construction", Pyongyang, 1997"Today the schemes of the renegades to vilify socialism are becoming more heinous and frantic, their aim being to justify their perfidy and check the rebirth of socialism. The fact that they are defaming socialism by calling it 'totalitarian', 'barracks-like' and 'administrative and commanding', even now when socialism has disintegrated and capitalism has revived in many countries, serves as clear proof that the renegades of socialism are the stooges of imperialism."
Kim Jong-Il, Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Chairman of the Korean Workers' Party, writing in "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable", Pyongyang, 1993
"The ultimate causes of all social changes and political revolutions are to be sought, not in men's brains, not in their growing insight into eternal truth and justice, but in changes in the modes of production and exchange. They are to be sought, not in the philosophy, but in the economics of each particular epoch. The means of eliminating abuses that have been brought to light must be present, in a more or less developed condition, within the changed relations of production themselves. These means are not to be invented out of one's brain, but discovered by the brain in the existing material facts of production."
Frederick Engels, "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific", Chapter 3, 1880."The English working class, like all things in England, moves with a slow and measured step, with hesitation here, with more or less unfruitful, tentative attempts there; it moves now and then with an overcautious mistrust of the name of socialism, while it gradually absorbs the substance. It is the working class that keeps alive the finest qualities of the English character, and if a step in advance is once gained in England, it is, as a rule, never lost afterwards. If the sons of the old Chartists were not quite up to the mark, the grandsons bid fair to be worthy of their forefathers."
Frederick Engels, Introduction to the English Edition of ibid, 1892."Fascist power is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialistic elements of finance capital."
"All past oligarchies have fallen from power either because they ossified or because they grew soft. Either they became stupid and arrogant, failed to adjust themselves to changing circumstances, and were overthrown; or they became liberal and cowardly, made concessions when they should have used force, and once again were overthrown. They fell, that is to say, either through consciousness or through unconsciousness. It is the achievement of the Party to have produced a system of thought in which both conditions can exist simultaneously."
Emmanuel Goldstein, Enemy of the People, writing in "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism", Chapter One: "Ignorance is Strength"
