No, the real problem is that, while it may not make any difference to a
bunch of self-satisfied "socialists" in England, their politics involved
oppressing their populaces as seriously as, or possibly even more so than
(witness the Iran-Iraq war), Western imperialism. This should be an obvious
concern to a real internationalist.
