Ms Pankhurst's words on the betrayal of revolution by the Social Democrats of Russia are so blurred as to be unreadable.

The PDF is readable I think? For some reason the screenshots I take of the first pages are a bit blurry. Not sure what to do about that.

Opened it in a different Reader and it is clear now.

The words that resonate most today are those of Lloyd George:

The people who made the war for the purpose for which they made it are still there prosecuting the same sinister purpose.

No words to be read here from Comrade Pankhurst on the role of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty in betraying proletarian revolution worldwide.

Maybe this AI thing is useful after all:

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk is often seen as a betrayal of the proletarian revolution worldwide because it forced the fledgling Soviet government to cede vast territories to Germany, essentially abandoning revolutionary movements in those regions and undermining the idea of international solidarity among working classes, ultimately fuelling scepticism about the Bolsheviks' commitment to global revolution.

The Thumbnail looks better, Fozzie.
