British communist party organises public meeting in support of North Korean dictatorship

The Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist) (RCPBML), based in the workers' paradise of South Lambeth, has organised a seminar and political forum to mark the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea.

The forum will put a positive slant on the vile North Korean regime, with the advert claiming: "The seminar aims to put this information into the context of the present situation, and to strengthen the conviction of the progressive forces in their defence of Korea against the aggression and threats of US imperialism. Please come and invite your circles to mark this significant anniversary."

After the presentation of short papers on North Korea, there will be the opportunity for discussion. Why not come along and tell the RCPBML the truth about North Korea?

The meeting takes place on 5 October at 7pm. The location is the RCPBML headquarters, John Buckle Centre, 170 Wandsworth Road, London SW8 2LA.

Oscar Sherman on the RCPBML:

The RCPBML is an eccentric band of Stalinist dinosaurs founded in the 1970s by Hardial Bains, who travelled the world spawning bizarre hardline communist parties.

The RCPBML took the Chinese side in the Sino-Soviet Split, but soon abandoned Beijing in favour of the more ideologically zealous Albania under Enver Hoxha.

In recent years, it has developed a role for itself as the most delusional and fawningly obsequious supporter of North Korea on the far left in Britain.

I recommend Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick as an antidote to the RCPBML propaganda.
