Abstract

In 1949, just before the outbreak of the Korean War, Lee Jong-Ryul appealed for urgent development of the campaign for the national revolution to avoid bloodshed among the Korean people. He advocated political independence and democracy as well as a popular liberal enterprise system to stand against the imperialism.<BR> In the early 1930s, Lee Jong-Ryul was not a simple nationalist influenced by the socialism, as some historians have argued. He attempted to carry out a socialist revolution driven by the proletariat, considering that the Korean society had already entered the stage of the socialist movement through the nationalist movement. In the end, he failed to build the Communist Party based on the proletariat, so he declared his ideological conversion in his final statements at the sentencing court in 1935. Afterward he found the causes of his failure in the backwardness of the Korean society, and redefined the character of the future revolution and its main agents, paying attention to the relative independence and the importance of human consciousness that Marx had neglected. Finally, he proposed a new political line, national revolution and human revolution , which should be driven by the national proletariat, which accounted for 95 percentage of the total Korean population.<BR> Lee Jong-Ryul’s political line could not be regarded as one of the communist’s tactics for a unified front, as some previous studies have argued.
