translated ftom Class March a left masss organsation of working people in Greece

The working class and the workers are in front of a huge and unprecedented challenge. The alarm declared by the system’s headquarters worldwide because of the corona-virus pandemic doesn’t have only the side of the immediate threat to health and lives of the masses. It also has the side of launching a round of intense attacks on labor and mass rights worldwide.

The system’s forces are already preparing for a new cycle of recession, another plunge of financial size. The blows received by entire branches due to the pandemic bans, in parallel with episodes of intensified economic competition, are sure to be passed on to the working class and workers everywhere in the world.

Redspark Interview #7: On the fallacy of SYRIZA and perspectives from Greece

Repost from Redspark

The following interview was conducted recently with our comrades from the Communist Party of Greece (marxist-leninist). They introduce the interview with their perspectives and some thoughts on their strategy.

The strategic direction of our organization is that the only way out for the working class and the people is independence and socialism, which requires revolution for the working class and the people to assume power. The revolution has the task to destroy the bourgeois state and build a State that will express the new power of the working class and its allies. The revolution will not only have to confront the bourgeoisie, but will also have to break the imperialist chains, overthrowing the foundations of the double (US-EU) imperialist dependency. We emphasize that US-NATO-EU imperialists will not remain idle when faced with a revolutionary movement; they will use all their power and capabilities within our country to suppress and stifle it. The revolution will have to confront them as well! This situation has been reinforced during the years of SYRIZA’s administration, by policies that reinforced the political and military presence of the US in the country, as well as those relating to the “debt management-annexation” grid, with which the bourgeoisie linked its own future more closely with the imperialists, who in turn upgraded their role in controlling the country.

Detener la masacre del pueblo boliviano! ¡Solidaridad a América Latina que resiste contra el fascismo y el imperialismo!

Las noticias que vienen de Bolivia son indiscutibles. Despeués del golpe militar con la inervención estadounidense, la cual derrocó al presidente legítimo Morales, se desarolló una oleada de terror y represión. El resultado hasta ahora es un baño de sangre con un número indeterminado de muertos y heridos. Las víctimas han sido disparadas por los soldados y los policías según los órdenes de los golpistas. Las imágenes de los manifestantes muertos en Cochabamba y de los hospitales en La Paz son escandalosas y enfurecen a toda la gente progresiva y demócratica del mundo. Una vez más, el pueblo boliviano se enfrenta al ejército y a los mecanismos estatales de represión, los cuales estan guiados por los yanquis imperialistas y sirven para proteger los intereses de la oligarquía, las multinacionales americanas y las fuerzas reaccionarias, racistas y de la extrema derecha que persiguen una revancha histórica.

GRECIA: MANIFESTACIÓN DE SOLIDARIDAD MARCHA HACIA LA EMBAJADA DE CHILE

Chile ... Bolivia ... Ecuador ...

¡El pueblo latinoamericano en el camino de la lucha!

Lοs pueblos de América Latina marchan el camino de la lucha y del levantamiento.

Se enfrentan a la reprecion policial y militar y la política asesina de los sectores reaccionarios, asi como sus patrones, el imperialismo yanqui. En Chile, en Bolivia contra el golpe de la extrema derecha, en Ecuador, unos días antes.

¡Ya cuentan muertos y asesinados, pero ni eso ni el terrorismo modifica su moral y sus anhelos por libertad e independencia!

Las luchas de los pueblos de América Latina tienen enemigos comunes, el fascismo, el imperialismo, la opresión y la explotación por las clases dominantes.

Nuestro pueblo debe ser energicamente solidario con estos pueblos, al tener ante nosotros los asesinos de los EE.UU, la OTAN y de la U.E con sus bases y sus flotas militares.

On the result of the elections in Greece

Monday, July 8, 2019
After July 7th elections New Democracy (ND) returned to office with a percentage that gives them absolute majority in the Parliament. This is the result of the reactionary road paved by the anti-grassroots policies that the government of SYRIZA followed during the last years. This government change will continue and deepen the attack against the rights of toilers and the people. This is reinforced by the fact that the bourgeois parties that support and push this attack (ND, SYRIZA, KINAL-the former mighty social-democratic PASOK) gathered all together 80% of the votes, which constitutes a major success of systemic powers in and out of the country. The elections also recorded the establishment of abstention, which, on one hand, enlarges the percentage of the ruling parties, but, on the other, greatly consists a form of manifestation against these anti-grassroots policies followed by all governments during the last years.
