Currently "events are taking place across the world to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the philosopher and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx..."(al-Jazeera, 5.05)

 

 

Especially socialist, communist and revolutionary labor parties are celebrating his birthday... Except the so-called "Workers Party", ruling(since almost 70 years) North Korea(aka the "paradise of the working class"/"socialist fairyland")!! For example: yesterday's KCNA and Rodong Sinmun didn't mention it - i.e. Marx' birthday - at all.

Why? Because the "Workers Party of Korea"(WPK) and N. Korea it self is - possibly(^^) - neither socialist nor revolutionary. Quite the contrary: the N. Korean political system - represented by the WPK(resp. the Kim Dynastie, incl. Kim Jong-un) - is an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary entity!!!
