DPRK: Is (or perhaps only: was) there any organized left/socialist opposition?

Anti-Seongun poster revealed in a market of Dancheon in 2006:

"The Military first policy makes poeple starve." (according to DailyNK) 

Following report was published last week (1.18) in DailyNK:

"An.. anti-regime activity occurred in 1989 in Pyongyang..
An unknown number of students put posters and disseminated leaflets criticizing the Kims. They argued that the regime to be a feudal one rather than socialism, and asked for a real socialist society based on Karl Marx’s teaching.

One day in September 1989, people gathered around Laklang Movie Theater in Pyongyang’s Laklang district. They were watching a number of posters on the theater building, titled “Our Fight.”

Posters read: “North Korea is not a socialist country. It goes contrary to Marx-Leninism. While people are forced to live in despair, only Kim Il Sung and party bureaucrats are well-fed and well being. We want a society in which everybody is equal.”

Writers quoted works of Marx and Engels. And based on original communist texts, they condemned the regime to be Kim dynasty rather than serving for proletariats. More surprising was bystanders’ reaction to the poster. It seemed nobody had tried to get rid of the obviously dangerous pieces of papers on the wall until security officers arrived. The reaction was interpreted as passive agreement by those who saw and read the posters.

Although the National Security Agency promptly started investigation, it was almost a year later in August 1990 when a group of suspected college students were arrested. All of them were students of North Korea’s most prominent universities including Kim Il-sung University, Kim Chaek Industrial University, Pyongyang Foreign Language University and Pyongyang Commerce College. Interrogators of the NSA were surprised by the suspects’ family background; most were children of senior officers in Korean People’s Army.

While the public was prohibited to read original Marxist books in libraries, the students were permitted to borrow the texts thanks to their parents’ high position. And shortly after, those young intellectuals seemed to have realized vast gap between Marx's teaching and what was going on in North Korea in reality.

After a short, secret trial, they were shot to death. Soon rumors spread to tell how brave and defiant the students were during interrogation.."

Of course actually it's not clear if the report is true or not..(!!)

But so or so, in my opinion - if there would be still a organized socialist/progressive opposition in N.K. - in the case of any kind of regime change, especially it comes from the power of the own people, these kind of opposition will have/get no chance to carry out their ideas.

For example in the GDR/East Germany in the time of "regime change" (1989) there were also several left/socialist opposition groups active. But because the majority of the "ordinary" people/citizens connected the "socialism"/"communism" only with the daily reality in their country under the rule of the "Real Existing Socialism" they were - and some acted - complete in opposition with any idea of socialism or communism. They just wanted to get "freedom" and "prosperity", i.e. the (f******) ordinary capitalism.

And even today, after nearly 17 years of capitalism, incl. mass unemployment - in some parts of the east about 20 per cent have no jobs - massive social destruction, etc., there is NO serious left opposition/alternative to the system (according to recent polls a majority of the people there is complete dissatisfied with the current society - many of them even don't trust the "democracy" anymore)!
