Translated :

Firstly, social democrats are by no means socialists; they usually do not even pretend to be so. their true loyalty was sufficiently demonstrated by the fact that the Mensheviks sided with the Whites, and the German Spd ordered the Freikorps (the future SS) to kill the Spartacists. anarchists, on the other hand, represent a large group of different types of people, of which only a part claims socialism (syndicalists, ancoms, etc.).

however, none of this matters because these groups have never been able to achieve a damn thing. all their endeavors failed quite disastrously, for example, in Spain. unlike the MLs, who were actually able to improve people's lives because they understood that repressive measures were absolutely necessary for the survival of the state. just look at how quickly social block turned into the absolutely shitty situation we are in today after Gorby did what he did.

It is quite well known about the DPRK that the lies spread by the Western media are mainly just a projection of what was historically done in occupied South Korea. Read the book “Patriots, Traitors and Empires” by Stephen Gowans on this topic. even if you still want to be against the North Korean government, that's the critical part of critical support."
