| From the time of the liberation of August 15 until today, we have been so caught up in the fancy term of liberation that we have not been able to take a sober look at the reality of what is before us, only that we have been liberated from the enemy, Japan. In fact, the U.S.-Soviet forces were the benefactors of our liberation from Japanese oppression.
However, we must realize that neither the reunification of the two Koreas nor the establishment of a fully autonomous and independent government can be realized without liberation from them, and we must wage an valiant struggle to achieve the true liberation of our people. In the history of any country's independence movement, there is no example of complete independence without a brave struggle of its own. We need to recognize that we have these challenges ahead of us. What we talk about ‘Let us found an independent government or let us establish a autonomous government’ is to recover complete and perfect sovereignty as a democratic state that is absolutely independent. A government without sovereignty is not a true independent government. Faced with chaos in the transition period immediately after the end of the Jap’s bandit rule, we need to reflect and be vigilant to avoid being influenced by these toxins in our daily lives, even if unconsciously. |
