The staffs of the bourgeoisie, in their timeless attempt to accuse communists of being involved in networks of traitors to the "national interest," seek to obscure the fact that, in a society of exploitation, class interest is what colors the national.

That every workers' state must use tools that the bourgeois state employs in the class struggle on an international level. Such a case is that of Kim Philby, a man who "betrayed" not his homeland, but his class.

In conditions where defending the Soviet Union and the countries of socialism was the duty of every revolutionary worker, the Secret Services of the first workers' state utilized the selfless contributions of people like Philby to thwart the counter-revolutionary plans of international imperialism.

And this, under conditions where these individuals had to immerse themselves deeply in the mire of counter-revolutionary conspiracies on a daily basis, in order to leave no room for success. Despite the lamentations of the bourgeois staffs, the global revolutionary movement owes them gratitude.
