ON THE TASKS FOR IMPROVING THE WORK OF THE YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE


Speech Delivered at the Meeting of the Workers of the Young Communist League Held in Wangqing March 27, 1933

In the year since the formation of the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army many heavy political and military blows had been dealt to the Japanese imperialist aggressors. The Japanese made frantic efforts to defeat the guerrilla army and Kim Il Sung called for an increase in ideological awareness to the broader masses.

The great leader rightly leveled criticism against the Young Communist League as having many shortcomings such as not actively recruiting all who were eligible for membership and do not properly train young people. He provided guidance to the YCL and requested that they expand and consolidate their organizations. The YCL was being too selective in recruiting and he accused them of the "Leftist" tendency towards closed-doorism. Although he also warned them against indiscriminate recruiting without proper political education and class awareness.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

"The communist work attitude consists in loving and respecting the masses at all times, working devotedly for their interests and sharing life and death, joys and sorrows with them. this is precisely the communist work attitude Young Communist League workers must acquire."
