"US, EU staged classic regime change in Ukraine."

[geek tragedy]

118. wrong.

The Workers Party of Korea carried out a smooth transition in leadership. Kim Jong Il became head of the party after the death of Kim Il Sung, the much revered leader of the Korean revolution. There were no severe splits or cleavages inside the Workers Party of Korea of the type that had prompted the collapse of governments in the USSR and Eastern Europe.

Instead of rejecting socialism, the Workers Party of Korea announced its deep commitment to socialism and the eventual transition to communism. Although it faced devastating shortages and production declines, the course pursued by the DPRK was entirely different from what had taken place in the former Soviet Union during the 1990s, when millions of workers were summarily fired, laid off, and deprived of housing and health care services after the Soviet government was overthrown.

In the DPRK, the workers and farmers are upheld as the masters of society. Without glossing over the widespread material hardships imposed by the loss of the Soviet bloc and U.S.-sponsored economic sanctions, the leadership of the DPRK refuses to embrace the so-called miracle of the capitalist market.

He was a freaking delegate from the WWP to North Korea.

Sorry, but anyone who isn't willfully blind can see what Becker and his fellow WWP authoritarian flunkies are. What they aren't is credible.
