Best Answer

Kim Il-sung led North Korea as prime minister from North Korea's inception on 1948 September 9. He continued in this position until 1972 December 28 when he became the president. He continued to lead until 1994 July 8 when he died.

This was over 24 years as prime minister and nearly 22 years as president, almost 46 years in total.

What did the communist party do in North Korea?

The Communist party took over North Korea in 1948 and established an absolute dictatorship by Kim Il Sung, the first of the Kim dynasty. North Korea is currently run by the son of Kim Il Sung, named Kim Jong Il; one of his sons is being prepared to take over after him. Dynastic rule actually has nothing to do with communism as originally described by Karl Marx, but communism has often been used as an excuse for various forms of dictatorial abuse. As long as the dictator claims to be acting for the good of the people, he gets away with anything. The government of North Korea is known to be the last surviving Stalinist dictatorship, meaning that it is not only communist, but it is also a cult of personality, and highly paranoid and repressive. No concept of human rights exists in North Korea; only the state has rights. It is the most insane nation on Earth.
