Michael Koth (born 16 October 1955) is a German National Bolshevik, supporter of North Korea and the Juche ideology, as well as advocate for the Querfront political strategy.
Koth later went on to become a founding member of the Kampfbund Deutscher Sozialisten, a German neo-nazi organisation, which aimed to unite the far-left and far-right through the Querfront strategy.
[8][9][10] After being expelled from the KPD-Ost in the summer of 1995 due to growing connections to nationalist and far-right personalities, which influenced his beliefs, Koth started calling himself a "national communist" and adopted the Juche ideology.
[2][3][10][13] With Koth's background in left-wing politics and dedication to anti-imperialism, he became one of the main figureheads for the KDS, which has widely been considered a neo-nazi organisation with few actual leftists to properly execute a Querfront strategy.
[8][14][18] After the KDS had dissolved, Koth went on to found the Anti-imperialist Platform (German: Antiimperialistische Plattform), a Juche and pro-North Korea group in Berlin, which he continues to lead to this day.
