Panspoudastiki KS recorded, in the vast majority of student unions, a large increase in the Technical Institutes, reaching over 16% (+3.3%), and a hopeful increase in the universities, reaching over 14.2% (+0.6%). In dozens of student unions the lists of Panspoudastiki KS came first and in even more student unions as well as in cities and universities (e.g. the University of Patras) they achieved second place for the first time. No complacency- We must not waste any time It is still necessary for the student assemblies and the struggle committees to become the core of the militant regroupment of the student movement. The fellow-students who abstained as well as those who voted for PASP (list of PASOK) and DAP (list of ND) again must take stock. Abstention and toleration are convenient for the system, regardless of individual intentions. Easy solutions from above, with whatever management formula, with new or old political formations, in favour of the people and their children do not exist, and will never exist. Whatever government, whatever political formation emerges in the following period, they will not provide solutions for the people. For this reason the people and their children must turn their backs on the extortion and the illusions. The only way for us is a radical change in the correlation of forces from below, which means: Activity alongside MAS and the struggle committees in every faculty, change, the strengthening of the struggle and organization, alliance with the labour and people’s movement. The students who supported Panspoudastiki KS were those who during the entire previous period were rallied by MAS, struggled alongside the class-oriented forces in the labour and people’s movement, even on the day of the elections were collecting money to support the struggle of the steelworkers and will continue to stand by this heroic struggle with all their strength. They fought against the anti-people political line that impoverished and impoverishes the popular strata, they impeded the implementation of the law on tertiary education, the cuts in the rights to accommodation and meals. They will make more dynamic progress in the organization and intensification of the struggle against the forces of capital and its political representatives. They will take a stronger stand against the attempts to liquidate the student movement, seeking its organization for a militant regroupment. In the crucial battles to come regarding education, work, our future and lives, we will be the protagonists, in the front line of the struggle for the science needed by our people and their children who are students. (17/05/2012) All the results can be found on the website of the Students’ Front of Struggle (www.spoudastes.gr) „We do not want a government for the plutocracy, we struggle and vote for another power.“ Thousands of workers, employees, youth, women, and families from the popular strata participated in a determined and militant fashion at the Pedion Areos, in the rally of the KKE, where the GS of the CC of the party, Aleka Papariga spoke on the 14th of May. Thousands of people sent a message yesterday, together with the call of the party to the people to lend it even more strength, both if new elections are held, and also in the struggles, in the workplaces, neighbourhoods, universities and schools: “Hope is here. A strong KKE.” The GS of the CC of the KKE, Aleka Papariga, mentioned amongst other things: “Whatever government is now formed, we must be ready to wage war on it (…) They will form it in order to pass the scheduled measures- which amount to between 11.5 and 13.5 billion euros. They will attack the income and rights of the workers (…) They want to ensure that the political line of the “EU one-way street” will continue in Greece, the political line which foists the burdens on the workers and paves the way for the recovery of capital’s profitability. The process of the mandates is even more revealing regarding the role SYRIZA will play in the renovation of the political system, in order to head off the current of radicalism and in the end to disarm the movement (…) SYRIZA may have declared that it has no intention of cooperating with ND and PASOK, that their political line has been delegitimised, but it took the mandate and made a proposal of cooperation to all the parties, except for Golden Dawn. After each meeting, particularly with ND and PASOK, it stressed that it would not cooperate with them, even if these supported SYRIZA in principle, because it wants a left government, despite the fact that there are not enough seats for this (…) The statement of SEV (Hellenic Federation of Enterprises) that a coalition government with the anti-memorandum SYRIZA would help in the renegotiation which the governments and business groups in all the crisis-struck member-states desire is not accidental nor is it a provocation. The slogan of a ND government or centre-right government or ND-PASOK on the one hand and on the other SYRIZA with some collaborations on the other is the new misleading dilemma for the people who need a political line of rupture and conflict and not renegotiation. Change your vote! We know ND and PASOK, they don’t change, however many disguises they wear. Don’t trust SYRIZA which misleads with easy solutions and the alleged aces up its sleeves. It wants to be both with the robber and the gendarme, with the EU and with the people. It has already watered down its positions. In the new election period, it will repeat loud and bright slogans so that it can forget them if it forms a government. Then it will be transformed into a lamb in relation to the EU and NATO (…) We go against the current of false hopes. We will be vindicated much more quickly now, once again. The people’s anger must not be turned into disillusionment. The people have no need of today’s memoranda or other amended memoranda (…) There are no painless solutions. The path of rupture, conflict, requires sacrifices, but these will lead to the people’s prosperity. The path of compromise proposed by other forces requires endlesspainful and pointless sacrifices, without a positive prospect for the people (…) The only government which can meet the challenges of the crisis and the people’s needs is the one which will unilaterally cancel the debt, denounce and overthrow the Memorandum-Loan Agreement, disengage Greece from the EU and make the people the only master of the wealth which they create and which exists in Greece. These pre-conditions are not desired or proclaimed (even in their slogansand speeches) by any other party (..) Their goal is to reduce the strength of the KKE. They distort the goals of struggle and positions of the KKE. The offensive against the KKE is being carried out because it refuses to be herded into a government for the management of the crisis at the expense of both the people and the productive and development potential of the country. The KKE has the historic responsibility not to become the communist alibi for a government which before it has even been formed is certain not to improve the people’s living standards, or to free them from austerity and unemployment. The historic responsibility of the KKE stands against the historic irresponsibility of SYRIZA. The youth and the workers in general who are suffering must correct the vote they gave to “Golden Dawn”, as they surely do not agree with their Nazi views. If elections are held, change your vote. Strengthen the KKE in order to empower the people’s struggle, the people’s alliance, so that the struggle for the overthrow can be victorious.

Es muß wohl noch viel schlechter werden, bis es besser wird ! Es ist erschreckend, was die Lohnabhängigen und kleinen Gewerbetreibenden sowie Handwerker alles zu schlucken bereit sind in der derzeitigen zyklischen Überproduktionskrise des Kapitalismus. Selbst in Ländern wie Griechenland oder Portugal, wo es starke kommunistische Parteien mit den richtigen Antworten auf die Fragen der Zeit gibt, steigt ihr Anhang wie ihr Wählerzuspruch nur geringfügig. Wir müssen uns leider darauf einstellen, noch eine Weile die Fackel der Wahrheit durch die Geschichte zu tragen. Offensichtlich sind die ständigen Indoktrinierungen der Großmedien derart in die Hirne eingedrungen, daß zu befürchten ist, daß das Denkvermögen erst wieder einsetzt, wenn die Lohnabhängigen nichts mehr zu verlieren haben als ihre Ketten. Dabei müßte eigentlich bereits heute allen klar werden, daß der real existierende Kapitalismus nicht nur eine im Ergebnis ungerechte, sondern auch eine höchst ineffiziente Wirtschaftsform ist. Die Wirtschaft, in der allein die Kapitaleigner entscheiden, was passiert, hat nur einen Motor: Gewinnmaximierung, wie es Ratzinger ausdrückt, Maximalprofit, wie das bei Marxisten heißt. So ist kapitalistische Marktwirtschaft keinesfalls das geeignete Instrument zum Erreichen einer optimalen Befriedigung der wirklichen Bedürfnisse aller Menschen, bietet sie doch nur an, was ein Kapitalist oder eine Kapitalistengruppe mit möglichst hohem Gewinn – je höher desto besser – zu verkaufen können glaubt. Bedürfnisse, deren Befriedigung keine solchen Gewinne erwarten läßt, bleiben unter solchen Bedingungen eben unbefriedigt. Aber auch Produktverbesserungen werden unter diesen Vorzeichen langsamer umgesetzt, als es der wissenschaftliche Fortschritt erlaubt: schließlich gilt es zuerst im Interesse des Maximalprofits eine bestehende Produktlinie so lange wie möglich auszureizen, denn je länger sie läuft, desto höher werden die Gewinnraten – irgendwann ist schließlich der Punkt überschritten, wo Entwicklungskosten und Produktionsanlagen abgeschrieben sind, und dann setzt es besonders fette Extraprofite. Profitsteigernd wirkt sich ebenfalls die von allen EU-Regierungen geforderten moderaten Lohnabschlüsse unterhalb der Inflationsraten und der Produktivitätssteigerungen aus – weil die Profite für die Kapitalseite um so höher ausfallen, als den Lohnabhängigen und Pensionisten möglichst wenig zugestanden wird, und natürlich auch den Ländern, aus denen die meisten Rohstoffe stammen, die in den industriellen Zentren für die moderne Produktion unverzichtbar sind. Diese Länder sind wohl unterentwickelt, aber nicht aus eigener Unfähigkeit, sondern weil sie mit aller Macht in diesem Zustand gehalten werden, damit sie nicht zu Konkurrenten werden. Dazu tun neben Kriegen auch Hungersnöte etliches beitragen – da die Landwirtschaft weltweit genug Nahrung für mehr Menschen erzeugt, als zur Zeit leben, darf lokal auftretender extremer Mangel als gewollt und von einem verbrecherischen Wirtschaftssystem organisiert bezeichnet werden. Was ist das eigentliche für eine Freiheit, den Hungertod eines Kindes alle 5 Sekunden zu organisieren? Denn genau in einer solchen Welt leben wir – und über eine Milliarde Menschen ist mittlerweile unterernährt. Es müßte somit wirklich allen einleuchten, daß es so nicht weitergehen kann. Das Rad braucht auch nicht neu erfunden zu werden, wie die Alternative ausschauen soll. Es braucht eine Wirtschaft, die ausschließlich dazu dient, die Bedürfnisse aller Menschen zu erfüllen. Dazu muß dem Kapital die Entscheidungsgewalt, was in der Wirtschaft geschieht, entrissen werden – Marxisten nennen diesen Vorgang sozialistische Revolution. Heute ist die Wirtschaft jeder Volksherrschaft (das ist nichts als die Übersetzung von Demokratie!) entzogen, nach einer sozialistischen Revolution erst kann hier wahre Demokratie einziehen. Sie wird eine auf wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen gründende Planwirtschaft brauchen, die auf einer allgemeinen Erhebung der Bedürfnisse, die es mit der Wirtschaft zu befriedigen gilt, aufbauen wird müssen – etwas das heute dank der Entwicklung der Informationstechnologie im Gegensatz zu 1918 problemfrei möglich ist. Auch das Rätesystem als basisdemokratische Entscheidungsstruktur braucht nicht neu erfunden zu werden: das Funktionieren eines solchen Systems kann allerdings auch erst mit heutiger Informationstechnologie gewährleistet werden, die es möglich macht, allen, die über eine Frage mitentscheiden sollen, blitzartig sämtliche Vorelemente zur Entscheidungsfindung zugänglich zu machen. Daß das einhergehen muß mit einer kräftigen Reduzierung der wöchentlichen Arbeitszeit, damit die Einzelnen die Zeit haben, sich an diesem Entscheidungsfindungsprozeß zu beteiligen, versteht sich von selber. Das ist aber heute auch kein Problem mehr, sondern die Lösung für die Frage der Arbeitslosigkeit! Alles Suchen nach einem wie auch immer gearteten »dritten Weg«, einem Kapitalismus mit menschlichem Antlitz, ist nur Ablenkungsmanöver. Kapitalismus funktioniert dann gut, wenn das Kapital Maximalprofite einfährt. Warum sollten wir hoffen, es könne einen Kapitalismus geben, der schlechter funktioniert, als es seine Nutznießer möchten? Das wird nie funktionieren! Für Leute, die immer schon wissen wollten, was der englische Text zu bieten hat: „Working Class Hero“ in einer Nachdichtung des Tiroler Musikers Thomas Patscheider: TomtheToms-WorkingClassHero.mp3
Schlaues Verhalten im Rahmen des real existierenden Kapitalismus hilft gegen das zuviel Monat am Ende des Geldes ! Im Rahmen des real existierenden Kapitalismus wird zunächst die Arbeitskraft der Lohnabhängigen vom Kapital ausgebeutet, und dann werden die Lohnabhängigen noch einmal als konsumierendes Volk vom selben Kapital gemolken. Wir sind allerdings nicht dazu verpflichtet, unüberlegt und willenlos mitzuspielen. Immerhin gibt es die Möglichkeit, einfach so die Profite der Supermarkt- und Drogeriekettenaktionäre zu sichern – und es gibt die Möglichkeit, sein Einkaufsverhalten dahingehend zu ändern, indem die Direktvertriebsschiene genutzt wird, wo es die Möglichkeit gibt mit einer Mitgliedschaft Rabatte (durchschnittlich 30%) für eigene Einkäufe zu bekommen, und zusätzlich Provisionen für die Einkäufe von geworbenen anderen Mitgliedern zu erhalten. Auf diese Weise führt der Einkauf zu einem Zusatzeinkommen, ohne irgendwelche Nachteile damit in Kauf zu nehmen, bis es dann doch eines Tageszum Sozialismus kommt. Wie's genau funktioniert ist auf Nachfrage zu erfragen (für BRD, Österreich, Luxemburg, Belgien, Frankreich): einfach mit einer Mail an pensionssicherung@yahoo.de Interesse anmelden unter Angabe einer Festnetznummer – Rückruf erfolgt prompt !

Weil's nervt, wenn ständig was von „Gott“ aus dem Lautsprecher dudelt, hier ein paar Sätze zum Nachdenken: Das Fundament der irreligiösen Kritik ist: Der Mensch macht die Religion, die Religion macht nicht den Menschen. Und zwar ist die Religion das Selbstbewußtsein und das Selbstgefühl des Menschen, der sich entweder noch nicht erworben oder schon wieder verloren hat. Aber der Mensch, das ist kein abstraktes, außer der Welt hockendes Wesen. Der Mensch, das ist die Welt des Menschen, Staat, Sozietät. Dieser Staat, diese Sozietät produzieren die Religion, ein verkehrtes Weltbewußtsein, weil sie eine verkehrte Welt sind. Die Religion ist die allgemeine Theorie dieser Welt, ihr enzyklopädisches Kompendium, ihre Logik in populärer Form, ihr spiritualistischer Point d'honneur (Ehrenpunkt), ihr Enthusiasmus, ihre moralische Sanktion, ihre feierliche Ergänzung, ihr allgemeiner Trost- und Rechtfertigungsgrund. Sie ist die phantastische Verwirklichung des menschlichen Wesens, weil das menschliche Wesen keine wahre Wirklichkeit besitzt. Der Kampf gegen die Religion ist also mittelbar der Kampf gegen jene Welt, deren geistiges Aroma die Religion ist. Das religiöse Elend ist in einem der Ausdruck des wirklichen Elends und in einem die Protestation gegen das wirkliche Elend. Die Religion ist der Seufzer der bedrängten Kreatur, das Gemüt einer herzlosen Welt, wie sie der Geist geistloser Zustände ist. Sie ist das Opium des Volks. Die Aufhebung der Religion als des illusorischen Glücks des Volkes ist die Forderung seines wirklichen Glücks. Die Forderung, die Illusionen über seinen Zustand aufzugeben, ist die Forderung, einen Zustand aufzugeben, der der Illusionen bedarf. Die Kritik der Religion ist also im Keim die Kritik des Jammertals, dessen Heiligenschein die Religion ist. . . . Die Kritik des Himmels verwandelt sich damit in die Kritik der Erde, die Kritik der Religion in die Kritik des Rechts, die Kritik der Theologie in die Kritik der Politik. Karl Marx in „Zur Kritik der Hegelschen Rechtsphilosophie“ (1843/44) MEW 1/378 f. und passend dazu „Imagine“ von John Lennon, nicht in der englischen Originalversion, die in jeder Wunschsendung läuft und von offensichtlich kaum jemandem verstanden wird, sondern in einer Nachdichtung des Tiroler Musikers Thomas Patscheider: Imagine.mp3 So viel, wie am 11. September 2011, wurde mit Sicherheit kaum jemals an einem Tag synchron in allen Großmedien gelogen. Und sie lügen seit dem US-Ereignis am 11. September 2001 zu diesem Thema, daß sich die Balken biegen. So sollen wir glauben, ein Wolkenkratzer könne wie im freien Fall einstürzen, wenn oben ein Flugzeug einschlägt, ohne zusätzlich gesprengt zu werden – die unteren Etagen hätten also den Fall der oberen nicht einmal um Sekundenbruchteile abgebremst! Fragt sich, warum eigentlich das Empire State Building noch steht, wo auch schon mal ein Flugzeug oben einschlug. Am schlimmsten aber sind die Lügen im Zusammenhang mit dem Pentagon, wo eindeutig keine Boeing, sondern eine Cruise Missile einschlug. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst davon, was von dem, was da erzählt wurde, so unwahrscheinlich ist, daß nur Leichtgläubigste es nachbeten können: http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/pentagon_ge.htm Marxistisch-leninistische Grundlagenschulung Diese Grundlagenschule wurde gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts von der SDAJ (Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterjugend, im Internet zu finden unter www.sdaj-online.de) zusammengestellt. Sie besteht aus ausgewählten Texten zu den Themen Philosophie, Politische Ökonomie und Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung. Sie sollen der gemeinsamen Diskussion über die Marxistische Weltanschauung in Gruppen und Arbeitsgemeinschaften dienen. Nachdem sie in dieser Form nicht mehr im Internet steht, die Zusammenstellung der Texte uns aber nach wie vor für einen Einstieg mehr als gut ausgesucht vorkommt, stellen wir sie so, wie sie damals war, wieder der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung, nicht ohne Michi und Thomas, die für die SDAJ die Auswahl nach der Konterrevolution in Osteuropa und der UdSSR besorgten, nochmals für ihre Arbeit zu danken, die wir intern seit einiger Zeit nutzen.

Auf Deutsch geht's hier weiter! Wer Artikel per e-mail sofort zugesandt haben will, wenn sie ins Netz gestellt werden, möge dies an roudefiisschen@yahoo.de mitteilen, mit einem Vermerk ob nur Artikel in Deutsch oder auch solche in Französisch erwünscht sind! Achtung: in den seltensten Fällen finden sich die gleichen Beiträge auf Deutsch und Französisch. Es lohnt sich also für Mehrsprachige, sich beide Sektionen anzuschauen! Die richtige Lösung von diesem Problem . . . ist nur für sehr wenige nicht angenehm! Die Zahl derjenigen, die das bestehende kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem als schlecht ablehnen, wächst von Tag zu Tag. Zu dieser Feststellung kommt es meistens auf Grund von persönlicher Betroffenheit und Einzelerlebnissen, seltener auf Grund rein theoretischer Überlegungen. Der einen wird bekannt, wie jemand durch eine unvorhergesehene Arbeitslosigkeit aus dem relativen Wohlstand ins finanzielle Nichts gestoßen wird mit seiner ganzen Familie, weil Raten und Kredite nicht mehr bedient werden können. Der andere stößt sich daran, wie in der Dritten Welt durch das stete Absinken des Erzeugerpreises für Kaffee hunderttausenden Familien die Existenzgrundlage entzogen wird, und entdeckt, daß das mit Preisen für andere Güter – seien es Lebensmittel, Rohstoffe oder Fertigprodukte – absolut gleich läuft, weil am angeblich »freien Markt« internationale Großkonzerne die Preise diktieren. Wieder andere stoßen sich an der aggressiven US-Kriegspolitik, der Einschränkung demokratischer Rechte unter dem Vorwand der »Bekämpfung des Terrorismus«, den Riesenprofiten einiger weniger Großer an den Börsen auf Kosten der vielen Kleinen, die dort zum Mitspielen verleitet wurden, am Spekulantenwahnsinn mit Währungen, die ganze Volkswirtschaften zu ruinieren drohen, am Umgang mit AsylbewerberInnen oder Wirtschaftsflüchtlingen, an der Ausbeutung der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit (oder der daraus hervorgerufen Ängste und der gesteigerten Konkurrenz zwischen Lohnabhängigen), um die sozialen Errungenschaften anzuknabbern und Lohndruck auszuüben usw. usf. Gar viele engagieren sich in Vereinigungen, die sich mit einer einzigen der als negativ erkannten Auswirkungen des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems befassen. Darüber geht leider oft der Zusammenhang verloren, weswegen auch keinerlei wirkliche Lösung des Problems auf diesem Weg zu erreichen ist. Bestenfalls kommt es im Bereich der in Unterentwicklung gehaltenen und überausgebeuteten Ländern auf karitativem Weg zu einer (keineswegs abzulehnenden) Verbesserung der Lebensumstände kleinerer Bevölkerungsgruppen. Eine wirkliche Lösung all dieser Teilprobleme ist aber nur möglich, wenn wir alle zusammen begreifen, daß sie eine logische und zwangsläufige Folge des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems sind. Was das lehrt ist, daß dieses kapitalistische System weg muß. Doch was soll an die Stelle? Immer weniger Menschen haben eine Antwort auf diese Frage, obwohl es keinen Grund gibt, das Rad ständig neu zu erfinden, denn die richtige Lösung für dieses Problem hat einen Namen: Aufbau einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft nach der Vergesellschaftung der Produktionsmittel mittels eines rätedemokratischen Systems, das alle Menschen aktiv einbezieht, und das es möglich macht, die Produktionsmittel nach wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien unter Respektierung von Natur und Umwelt zur wirklichen Bedürfnisbefriedigung einzusetzen statt nur zur Erzielung des Maximalprofits zu Gunsten einer bornierten Minderheit mit der Einstellung »Nach uns die Sintflut«, wie das unter kapitalistischen Vorzeichen geschieht. MitstreiterInnen und Unterstützerinnen herzlich willkommen: Kontakt über Mail an roudefiisschen@yahoo.de ! Un comportement rusé vous aidera dans le cadre du capitalisme réellement existant contre le trop de mois à la fin de l'argent ! Dans le cadre du capitalisme réellement existant, la force de travail des salariés et des salariées est exploitée au profit du capital, puis les salariés et salariées sont encore une fois exploités en tant que consommateurs par ce même capital. Nous ne sommes cependant pas obligés de jouer le jeu sans y réfléchir. Il est naturellement possible d'assurer tout simplement les profits des actionnaires des chaînes de supermarchés et de drogeries, mais il y a aussi la possibilité de changer son comportement d'achat en utilisant les canaux de la vente directe avec l'offre de rabais (en moyenne 30%) aux membres pour leurs achats propres et de provisions supplémentaires pour les achats d'autres membres qu'on a parrainé. De cette façon l'achat produit un revenu supplémentaire sans subir de désavantages jusqu'à l'avènement du socialisme. Vous apprendrez en détail comment cela fonctionne (pour la France, la Belgique, le Luxembourg, l'Allemagne et l'Autriche) en vous montrant intéressé par un courriel à pensionssicherung@yahoo.de en indiquant votre numéro de téléphone fixe – vous serez rapidement appelé ! Probablement jamais auparavent il a été menti autant dans tous les médias grand-public que le 11 septembre 2011 : Et ils mentent à l'excès depuis les évènements du 11 septembre 2001 aux Etats Unis d'Amérique. Ainsi nous devrions croire selon eux qu'une tour peut s'écrouler avec la vitesse de la chute libre sans être préparée à la démolition par des explosifs suite à un avion qui entre dans les étages supérieures. Les étages en dessous n'auraient donc freiné en rien cette chute. En fait: pourquoi le Empire State Building est toujours debout ? Comment a-t-il pû supporter un avion qui s'y est encastré dans les étages supérieures ? Encore plus grossiers sont les mensonges quant au Pentagon, qui a été touché par un Cruise Missile et non par un Boeing.

La véritable solution de ce problème . . . n'est désagréable qu'à une minorité infime! Le nombre de ceux qui refusent le système économique croît de jour en jour. Mais ils parviennent à cette constatation à cause de déconvenues personnelles, rarement suite à une réflexion théorique. L'une apprend qu'une personne mise au chômage bascule d'une relative aisance dans le néant financier avec toute sa famille, à cause de l'impossibilité de faire face aux échéances des crédits et à d'autres obligations. L'autre est scandalisé par la constante chute des prix du café au Tiers Monde, qui prive des centaines de milliers de familles de leur base existentielle. Idem pour les prix des autres produits alimentaires, des matières premières ou des produits manufacturés, car sur le marché prétendument libre, c'est les grandes multinationales qui dictent les prix. D'autres se heurtent à la politique de guerre agressive des USA., à la limitation des droits démocratiques sous prétexte de la lutte contre le terrorisme, aux profits pharamineux réalisés par quelques spéculateurs aux dépens d'innombrables petits épargnants induits à jouer sur la roulette des marchés boursiers et des devises qui risquent de ruiner des économies entières. D'autres encore sont choqués par les traitements indignes que subissent les demandeurs d'asile, ou par l'exploitation du chômage élevé (ou des peurs qu'il suscite et de la concurrence accrue entre salariés) pour grignoter les acquis sociaux et réduire les salaires, etc. Nombreux parmi ceux-là s'engagent dans des associations confrontées chacune à l'un ou l'autre des effets néfastes du capitalisme. Engagements utiles, mais fatalement insuffisants, car ils perdent de vue la corrélation entre tous ces avatars, et ne peuvent espérer trouver dans des actions ponctuelles la solution du problème. Au mieux parvient-on, comme dans les pays surexploités et maintenus en sous-développement, à obtenir des améliorations des conditions de vie de petits groupes. Ces aides ou projets pilotes, c'est mieux que rien, mais laissent pour compte la majorité des populations. L'unique solution à tous ces fragments d'un même problème n'est possible que si l'on comprend, qu'ils sont tous liés au système d'économie capitaliste. L'évidente conclusion est que ce système doit disparaître. Mais par quoi le remplacer ? Trop peu de personnes semblent connaître la réponse à cette question. Il n'y a pourtant aucune raison de vouloir tout le temps réinventer la roue, puisque la solution de ce problème existe. C'est la construction d'une société démocratique, où la socialisation des moyens de production, moyennant une démocratie conseilliste à participation réelle de tout citoyen à tous les niveaux de l’activité humaine, permet d'employer ces moyens de production, selon des principes scientifiques et dans le respect de l'être humain ainsi que de la nature, à la satisfaction de besoins réels. C'est le contraire de ce qui se passe dans le système capitaliste, où l'on ne vise que les profits maxima au bénéfice d'une minorité bornée »après moi le déluge!«.
Activistes et donateurs/donatrices sont bienvenus: contact par mail à roudefiisschen@yahoo.de ! The people’s-labour movement has the strength to face the provocateur mechanisms of the bourgeois system – see video at http://www.youtube.com/user/kkemedia#p/u/0/sHMLD_Vql0o Article of the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE in relation to the statements of the international Media on the murderous attack on the large demonstration of PAME – Friday, 21 October 2011 The murderous attack unleashed by anarcho-fascist groups against the enormous rally which was organized by the class-oriented trade unions, rallied in the All-workers’ Militant Front (PAME) in opposition to the new anti-people measures of the government, made the news on a global scale. Nevertheless, there were many attempts by the bourgeois media to distort the facts. Indeed in this effort they use as arguments fabrications and lie drawn from the opportunist forces and the Trotskyist websites. As is well-known on the 19-20 October hundreds of thousands of workers participated in the big strike mobilisation, in which the class-oriented trade unions of PAME played the leading role, together with other forces of the social alliance (MAS,PASEVE,PASY,OGE). The success of the 1^st day of the strike and the massive demonstration in the central square of Athens, outside Parliament, where PAME was predominant, sent a strong message to the government, the EU, capital: No sacrifice for the plutocracy! The workers are not responsible for the capitalist crisis! The fight for goals of struggle which are connected to the contemporary needs, in rupture with the capitalist system, the concentration of forces for the people’s power and economy! The fake-incidents, the “hide and seek” with the riot police, the damage to shops and buildings, which small provocateur groups organized, could not extinguish the message of the huge popular demonstration of PAME. Certain international media, in an attempt to mislead the workers in their countries spoke of an attack and attempt of the demonstrators to occupy the parliament. Something which of course had no relation to reality. On the 2nd day the forces of capital sought to suppress the strong political message of the workers. PAME had announced the encirclement of the Parliament for the time when the anti-worker measures were to be discussed and voted on by article with a roll call vote, at the request of the KKE. For this reason they mobilised and unleashed in a planned way organized groups with specific instructions and anarcho-fascists who with Molotov cocktails, stones, and other weapons which are used by the police, such as teargas and stun grenades, attempted to disperse the majestic rally of the workers and people in Syntagma and especially the part where PAME was concentrated. The assault took place on the edges of the demonstration and had as a result the injury of 80 PAME demonstrators and the death of the construction worker-trade unionist of PAME, Dimitris Kotzaridis. Nevertheless, their goal, which was to disperse the rally of PAME, to intimidate and suppress the working class and popular torrent for counterattack which came onto the streets for the 48 hr general strike, failed! The forces of the protection of the rally successfully repelled the murderous assault! Certain international bourgeois media sought to present the before mentioned incidents as a conflict between two ideological-political currents inside the people’s movement. This approach has nothing to do with reality since in Greece it is well-known that these groups which appear under the cover of the black colour, the hood, “anarchism” are organized and staffed by the forces of the bourgeois system and include everything from organized hooligans of football teams, to hired thugs from night clubs, members of neo-Nazi organizations and forces of security services. There is a lot of evidence from the recent past (photographs and videos) that show the relations of these groups with the mechanisms of the system. They are murderous groups which serve the bourgeois system and have no relation with the people’s movement. They are unleashed by the system itself in order to organize provocations (like the burning of the bank on 5/5/2010 where three employees died) and provide a pretext to the security forces so as to use the equipment they possess in order to disperse the mass people’s demonstrations. Even more dangerous and dirty is the slander that PAME protected the parliament from the protesters, an allegation reproduced by bourgeois and opportunist mass media - domestic and international ones. This dirty allegation seeks to portrait PAME as a support of the bourgeois system and the KKE as a “systemic force”, as a party of the bourgeois system. It emanates from those forces which praise the “spontaneous” movement and present it in opposition to the organized class-oriented workers’ movement. It is they who misleadingly identify the revolution and the people’s uprising with the burning of rubbish bins and the breaking of shop windows and not with the organized political struggle of the workers’ movement which has roots in the factories, in workplaces, in people’s neighbourhoods and will dispute the bourgeois power leading to a conflict with the imperialist organizations of NATO and the EU, to the establishment of people’s power. The KKE and PAME do not need any “credentials” for their militancy which the bourgeois media hand over to the hooded provocateurs, to the anarcho-fascist groups. Our history and activity has the appreciation of hundred of thousands of working people who take part in the people’s demonstrations, of millions of workers who appreciate the consistent, unwavering struggle of our party, the firmness of its goals for the overthrow of the capitalist barbarity and the militancy of its members and cadre in the places where they work and live. This slander that PAME allegedly “protected the bourgeois parliament from the rebels” has nothing to do with reality and moreover it seeks to conceal the truth, namely the fact that PAME managed, thanks to its strong vigilance, to defend the demonstration and prevent the plans for its dissolution. As we say in Greece “lies have short legs”… On Friday morning hundreds of cadres and members of the KKE, numerous forces of the class-oriented movement visited many workplaces informing the working people and preparing new mobilizations. This mass political work among the people which will continue on a daily basis constitutes a decisive response to every kind of anarcho-fascist, to the police informers, to the bourgeois state, to the government and the parties of capital, the opportunist formations. 21/10/2011 An unprecedented sea of people in the majestic strike rally of PAME in Athens and in 70 other cities all across Greece An unprecedented sea of hundreds of thousands of people participated in the majestic strike rally of PAME, which filled Athens, the like of which has not been seen in recent decades, on the first day of the 48 hours nationwide general strike. All the central roads of Athens had been filled to a suffocating level by the enormous crowds of workers for many hours. Massive rallies unprecedented in size and militancy took place in all the cities throughout Greece. These forces were rallied so that the draft legislation with new anti-people measures will not be voted through, with the following line: Down with the government and the parties of the plutocracy, working class-popular organization and alliance everywhere, a solution concerning the question of power. The slogan which resounded in the rally was “Worker, without you no cog can turn, you can do without the bosses”, “Disobedience to the plutocracy, People, a front for power”. The huge success of the strike was based on the paralysis of countless factories, big production units and other workplaces by workers and employees who experience poverty, destitution, and the dead-end of unemployment. Its huge size and militancy was also based on the closure of numerous small shops and businesses which face the danger of closing down permanently. Many new forces of workers participated for the first time in the strike giving a special dynamic to the struggle against the barbarity of the measures of the government, the plutocracy, the IMF, the EU. From dawn the forces of PAME with their picket lines supported decisively the workers in “ghetto” workplaces who decided to go on strike for the first time, defying employer intimidation and even civil mobilization, which the government had imposed on the striking garbage collectors of the municipalities, and the other mechanisms of strike breakers used by the government. The provocateur groups who jumped out of the contingents of the compromised trade union organizations of GSEE and ADEDY sought once again to create staged incidents. Nevertheless, they did not manage to conceal the huge size and the demands of the immense strike rally, the organized and protected participation of the working people in the demonstrations of PAME where not a single incident occurred. Giorgos Perros, member of the Executive Secretariat of PAME, stated amongst other things from the podium of the strike rally: “there is no pro-people PASOK. There is no pro-people government no matter if it is called “centre-left”, or “left”, if it does not come into conflict with the monopolies, if its programme does not include the overthrow of the monopolies or in other words their socialization. Either with the people or with the monopolies. Workers’- people’s power or monopolies’ power. There is no other way! Don’t waste any moment. Counterattack all together! Tomorrow, on Thursday everyone must come to the encirclement of the Parliament by PAME from all sides and streets. Processes in the bourgeois parties to inhibit the people’s torrent of rage The very big success of the first day of the strike exerts pressure on the parties of plutocracy and its government. Thus, at these moments there is an intensification of the processes for the reformation of the political system by PASOK and ND and the other bourgeois parties, with scenarios of a “big coalition of PASOK-ND” as well as efforts to ensure the consensus for the passing of the anti-people measures against the torrent of the strike that flooded Athens and other cities today. The General Secretary of the Central Commitee of the KKE, Aleka Papariga, mentioned the following in relation to these processes in her statements to the media : “ I don’t think that Mr Papandreou expects our toleration and consensus. Maybe for reasons to do with publicity abroad he is meeting with the parties in order to demonstrate that he has their support. He has no support from us. None whatsoever. What he has from us is our radical, total, real and substantial confrontation.” After her departure from the meeting which she had with the Prime Minister, who has carried out a series of meetings with all the party leaders, the General Secretary of the Central Commitee of the KKE, stated : “From now on things will literally be decided by the mighty people and not by the negotiations which the government will carry out or by the councils and caucuses with the other parties.” Aleka Papariga called on the people to go forward without fear, with out illusions until the final victory and she added: “There is one solution: the wealth which exists is this country must become the people’s. We must disengage from the bonds of the EU and unilaterally cancel the debt. There is no intermediate solution.” It should be noted that all the forces of the class-oriented forces will rally for the second strike battle on thursday and for the encirclement of the Parliament which will constitute a new landmark in the struggle against the anti-worker measures, in conflict with the monopolies and their power. 19/10/2011 What's really up in Syria ? A letter from the Syrian Communist Party (unified) Tel: (+96311) 4410264 , 4429503 Damascus, Fax: (+96311) 4422383, Date:17-9-2011 http://www.syrcomparty.org , E-mail: scp@scs-net.org We would like to present to you a brief presentation and analysis of the successive events taking place in our country, Syria, so that we might highlight some facts, on one hand, and discredit some lies fabricated and marketed by imperialist propaganda against Syria. Ever since the events began in last March, scores of T.V stations in America, Great Britain, and France, some stations in the Arab world, and hundreds of sites on the internet have been mobilized to work as hard as they can in order to falsify the reality of those events, as far as the world public opinion is concerned, special programs are broadcast to serve this purpose by day and night. The American President would daily give statements which include rude threats against Syria as well as flagrant intervention in the internal of fairs of the Syria people. High ranking officials in the European Union would imitate the American President. Such threats and interventions reached the top degree when the America President claimed the irrelevance and illegitimacy of the Syrian regime. Harsh and unjust economic sanctions have been imposed against the Syrian people and its economy. More dangerous, still, are the plans discussed and endorsed by Nato to launch waves of air strikes for several weeks against 30 strategic sites in Syria, exactly similar to what had happened in Yugoslavia. Some officials in Europe would never hesitate to call for dealing with the situation in Syria exactly as though it were a pale copy of the Libyan crisis. Scores of thousands of civilians have been massacred, tens of plants and economic sites have been destroyed by air strikes, in the mean time, Libya is being divided. States members of the imperialist international alliance have been trying, by all means possible, to pass a U.N Security Council resolution condemning Syria, to be followed by successive resolutions against Syria and subjugate it to chapter seven of the U.N charter, so that an aggressive campaign would become legalized. Thanks to the opposition of Russia and China, accompanied by South Africa, India, Brazil and Lebanon, imperialist attempts at U.N Security Council are merely, until now, a failure. All these moves take place under tow pretexts: Demonstrators in Syria are killed, security procedures are being resorted to while dealing with protesting demonstrations. Manipulating the shortcomings of the regime un Syria, such as the lack in democracy and the monopoly of power by the ruling party, in order to pressure the regime to adopt some internal changes, although any internal change should be considered as a partial part of the national sovereignty of any county. Actually, several protest demonstration began in last March, calling for social, economic, and democratic, reforms. The majority of these demands were supported by our party as a way to deal with ill effects of the implementation of a liberal program in the economy, the deals struck with the International Monetary Fund, and the transformation of Syria to a market economy. The effects were detrimental to the level of living of poor and middle strata. The political leadership of the county has been continuously warned, through the party press, official meetings or official memoranda, the last of which was five weeks ago. The demonstrations were peaceful. Soon they were manipulated by religious fundamentalist and radical groups whose ideologies date back to the middle ages. Demonstrations turned from peaceful to armed ones aiming to achieve purposes having nothing to do with social and political reforms. While dealing these demonstrations, the official security forces committed several mistakes which are unjustifiable. consequently, actions were followed by reactions. Scores of civilians and soldiers were killed. Armed gangs were formed, attacking public and private properties, and setting up barriers inside some cities in which they had had the upper hand. During the last several months, these gangs were busy establishing armed sites in the border regions between Syria, on one hand, and Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq to insure continuity of weaponry and help supplies through them. Anyhow, the gangs have not succeeded in establishing a stable border basis. This cost hundreds of civilians and soldiers, i.e. more than 2000 victims. In the mean time several events were exaggerated. Facts were falsified. The latest up to date electronic and media equipments were employed in order to show that the Syrian army is completely responsible for these acts, and that the armed gangs bore no responsibility, what so ever. Due to the pressure of the events, the government adopted several social and democratic reforms including: annulling the emergency regulations, exceptional courts, and considering peaceful demonstrations legal. Recently a new election law and a law permitting the establishment of political parties have been adopted. Preparations for a new or a modified constitution are underway. New laws covering media and local administration have also been adopted. The aims of these laws and procedures are: to break the monopoly of power by the Ba׳th ruling party, to established a pluralistic and democratic society, to insure public as well as private freedom, to help launch the freedom of expression and to acknowledge the right of the opposition to peaceful political activity. In spite of our reservations as regards some articles, these laws are very important. For more than forty years, our party has struggled to have such laws adopted. Should these laws be implemented, they could be considered as an important step toward and the transition of Syria to a democratic and pluralistic society. Large sectors of the national peaceful opposition have welcomed there procedures, whereas the fundamentalist and armed opposition are still sticking to the slogan of toppling the regime, en acting tension, and sectarian strives. In an attempt to portray the problem as thought it were a sectarian or a cult strife, this would be a flagrant forgery and falsification of facts. We can sum up the situation as follows: Armed tension in Syrian cities and towns has been reduced. Armed gangs have suffered heavily. However some of them are able to resume their activities. Peaceful demonstrations have not disappeared and are not confronted violently, unless they have been accompanied by violent activities. The state has called upon the national opposition to take part in a comprehensive political dialogues aiming to help achieve the transition to democracy and pluralism peacefully. Such a dialogue faces many difficulties most important of which is the pressure of armed groups which oppose peaceful dialogue and a peaceful solution, depending on support from abroad. Imperialist and colonialist threats against Syria have increased. Although these threats face many difficulties, and we have to get ready to confront them. As far as the situation in our country is concerned, it appears as follows: - Protest movements are still existing at different levels. They differ from a governorate to another. One can notice that most moves start from mosques, rural areas and slum houses, and head toward city centers, down town. - Moves among ethnic or religious minorities are scarce. In factories, universities and trade unions, there are no moves. - Within the circles of big bourgeoisie whether it be industrial or economic, especially in large cities Aleppo, Lattakia, and Damascus, there are no moves. - There are no moves inside clans and tribes. - The opposition is made up of a wide and various spectrum of parties. Some are patriotic, opposing external intervention and armed gangs. In addition, there is the Muslim brother hood which is considered as the most active and well-organized party inside the country and abroad. There are, also, several traditionalist groups with different orientations, whose influence has become very clearly visible in gatherings and demonstrations in different areas. These groups do not hide their aims and purposes which are typically reactionary and sectarian. On the spot, the most active and important groups ever since the protests began are the local coordination’s which include basically different groups of youth without having any common clear ideological plans or orientations except for the slogan “Down with the regime”. They are exposed to external as well as internal pressure. - Opposition abroad consisting mainly of intellectuals, traditionalists, persons who quitted the regime and haw some internal extensions (Khadam and Refa׳at Al Assad). During the last period, these forces held several conferences abroad, (except for a meeting held at Samir Amis hotel in Damascus by the internal opposition) aiming to mobilize forces and coordinate stances. Ideological, political differences, as well as, differences in interests prevailed. Some opposition forces abroad work hard to gain the support of foreign and colonialist forces. - Up till now, the United States, France, and Great Britain are leading the international campaign of threats and incitement against the regime in Syria aiming to impose more and more packages of sanctions on Syria, specially sanctions by U.N Security Council and other international organizations, Russia and China continue opposing imposing such sanctions and procedures. Turkey has chosen an opportunistic stance which moves up and down according to election political and regional interests. Roughly speaking, there is an international unanimity opposing direct military measures against Syria as what happened to Libya, provided that the Arab League and the U.N Security Council do not adopt resolutions preparing the way for that purpose. The conflict over this issue is fierce. - Except for Qatar which plays a vital and important role in the conspiracy against Syria, there are different views and stances in the Arab world as regards the situation in Syria. - Day by day, the economic situation is deteriorating, pressure on the living conditions of masses increases. - The regime is coherent and has great potentialities. Five months after the break out of events, none of the basic institutions (the party, the army, the security, the institutions of state, embassies, popular organizations, trade unions, the Progressive National Front …..) have never experienced any split. Surely, the picture is not static, and should be viewed according to its dynamics, variables and development day by day. Possible scenarios: - The crisis might continue for a long period, leading to more calamities, bloodshed suffering. - A break down leading to a general anarchy. a civil war or something similar to it might take place, paving the way for external intervention. - An apparent split in the opposition might happen, making a part of it accept opening a serious dialogue with the regime to reach a new social contract in the country. - To put an end to differences in approaches and “motionlessness” as regards the forces of the regime. There are two possible results: either to move forward toward achieving a political solution to the crisis making a quick end firm and possible or to continue resorting to the security treatment of the crisis at all costs. It’s difficult to foretell the way in which a decisive solution is possible. Some unexpected events might happen, enforcing all parties to compromise, or accept a deal imposed by external powers to help the country find an away out of the tunnel it has rushed through. Where is the party now? To start with, we would like to draw your attention that our party had sent memorandum to the regional command on the eve of the tenth conference of AL-Baa׳th party in 2005. The party demanded that the state be separated from the party, democracy and liberties be guaranteed, emergency regulations be lifted, a democratic law for parties be adopted, political and opinion prisoners be released, the domination of AL-Baa׳th party on trade unions be ended, corruption be fought….etc. Further, we would like to add that the party has asserted, in all the documents adopted during the last period that it supported the national stance of Syria. To materialize this aim, the social, economic and democratic needs of popular masses should be met. We discussed in detail these demands in our conferences and documents. In its analysis of the deep and current crisis of our country, our party had made it clear that the main contradiction is between the political formula used to rule the country for several decades and the demands for democracy, social, economical and cultural development needed by the Syria society. The content of our view is that the political formula is based on the monopoly of authority by the AL-Baa׳th party, the trusteeship on the popular movement and its organizations. This formula led to decadence and bureaucracy, and the corruption of state machine. Consequently, economic and social reform plans became in need of reconsideration to be up dated with the requirements of progress. In brief, our party believes that the essence of the current crisis is the disproportion between the structure of the regime and the tasks of Syria. At the same time, the party had emphasized that the enemy and imperialist forces made the best of this internal disproportion to enhance the level of conspiracy against Syria, and use it as a Trojan horse to serve its well-known objective, as was mentioned above. Accordingly, the Syrian Communist Party (Unified) is not neutral as regards the required alternative, on one hand, and the necessary means to achieve this objective, on the other. Political solution and the continuity of a real and radical reform constitute the only way out of the crisis. Security procedures help increase the components of the crisis and deepen it more and more and empty the contents of reforms. The current situation, we assert, requires a constructive and faithful dialogue all honest and patriotic forces, regardless of differences in opinions or views for the purpose of reaching an agreement or a radical reform plan serving the needs of popular masses and guarantees the creation of a civil secular and democratic state opposing the imperialist and Israeli plans in the region. If dialogue necessitates the existence of a suitable climate, dialogue itself might help create such climate, because the other options would lead only to more bloodshed, more calamities for the country and the people. Dear comrades; Due to the weakness of Syrian mass media in the confrontation with the gigantic media of imperialism, the mobilization of forces all over the world against Syria, and the anti-Syrian alliance consisting of imperialist powers in addition to their puppets in the region, including Turkey, which adopted a pragmatic policy to share the hegemony of western countries on the region, due to all that, our party hopes that all communist, workers and democratic parties in the world would help spread these clarifications in the public opinion in their countries. Also, we call upon these parties to solidify with Syria because it is the most important Arab country resisting the imperialist plans to dominate the Middle East, and firmly opposing the American-Israeli plan to fragment the area in several sectarian entities whose control would be easy. Syria also supports the national resistance in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. Besides it supports the right of the Palestinian people to liberate its territories and establish a national state with Jerusalem as its capital.

On the results of the student elections 2012

The Executive Secretariat of the Students’ Front of Struggle (MAS) salutes the thousands of students who supported the militant lists of Panspoudastiki KS (the list supported by KNE) with their votes.

Panspoudastiki KS recorded, in the vast majority of student unions, a large increase in the Technical Institutes, reaching over 16% (+3.3%), and a hopeful increase in the universities, reaching over 14.2% (+0.6%). In dozens of student unions the lists of Panspoudastiki KS came first and in even more student unions as well as in cities and universities (e.g. the University of Patras) they achieved second place for the first time.

No complacency- We must not waste any time

It is still necessary for the student assemblies and the struggle committees to become the core of the militant regroupment of the student movement.

The fellow-students who abstained as well as those who voted for PASP (list of PASOK) and DAP (list of ND) again must take stock. Abstention and toleration are convenient for the system, regardless of individual intentions.

Easy solutions from above, with whatever management formula, with new or old political formations, in favour of the people and their children do not exist, and will never exist. Whatever government, whatever political formation emerges in the following period, they will not provide solutions for the people.

For this reason the people and their children must turn their backs on the extortion and the illusions.

The only way for us is a radical change in the correlation of forces from below, which means: Activity alongside MAS and the struggle committees in every faculty, change, the strengthening of the struggle and organization, alliance with the labour and people’s movement.

The students who supported Panspoudastiki KS were those who during the entire previous period were rallied by MAS, struggled alongside the class-oriented forces in the labour and people’s movement, even on the day of the elections were collecting money to support the struggle of the steelworkers and will continue to stand by this heroic struggle with all their strength. They fought against the anti-people political line that impoverished and impoverishes the popular strata, they impeded the implementation of the law on tertiary education, the cuts in the rights to accommodation and meals. They will make more dynamic progress in the organization and intensification of the struggle against the forces of capital and its political representatives. They will take a stronger stand against the attempts to liquidate the student movement, seeking its organization for a militant regroupment.

In the crucial battles to come regarding education, work, our future and lives, we will be the protagonists, in the front line of the struggle for the science needed by our people and their children who are students. (17/05/2012)

All the results can be found on the website of the Students’ Front of Struggle (www.spoudastes.gr)

„We do not want a government for the plutocracy,

we struggle and vote for another power.“

Thousands of workers, employees, youth, women, and families from the popular strata participated in a determined and militant fashion at the Pedion Areos, in the rally of the KKE, where the GS of the CC of the party, Aleka Papariga spoke on the 14th of May. Thousands of people sent a message yesterday, together with the call of the party to the people to lend it even more strength, both if new elections are held, and also in the struggles, in the workplaces, neighbourhoods, universities and schools: “Hope is here. A strong KKE.”

The GS of the CC of the KKE, Aleka Papariga, mentioned amongst other things:

“Whatever government is now formed, we must be ready to wage war on it (…) They will form it in order to pass the scheduled measures- which amount to between 11.5 and 13.5 billion euros. They will attack the income and rights of the workers (…)

They want to ensure that the political line of the “EU one-way street” will continue in Greece, the political line which foists the burdens on the workers and paves the way for the recovery of capital’s profitability. The process of the mandates is even more revealing regarding the role SYRIZA will play in the renovation of the political system, in order to head off the current of radicalism and in the end to disarm the movement (…)

SYRIZA may have declared that it has no intention of cooperating with ND and PASOK, that their political line has been delegitimised, but it took the mandate and made a proposal of cooperation to all the parties, except for Golden Dawn. After each meeting, particularly with ND and PASOK, it stressed that it would not cooperate with them, even if these supported SYRIZA in principle, because it wants a left government, despite the fact that there are not enough seats for this (…)

The statement of SEV (Hellenic Federation of Enterprises) that a coalition government with the anti-memorandum SYRIZA would help in the renegotiation which the governments and business groups in all the crisis-struck member-states desire is not accidental nor is it a provocation.

The slogan of a ND government or centre-right government or ND-PASOK on the one hand and on the other SYRIZA with some collaborations on the other is the new misleading dilemma for the people who need a political line of rupture and conflict and not renegotiation.

Change your vote!

We know ND and PASOK, they don’t change, however many disguises they wear. Don’t trust SYRIZA which misleads with easy solutions and the alleged aces up its sleeves. It wants to be both with the robber and the gendarme, with the EU and with the people. It has already watered down its positions. In the new election period, it will repeat loud and bright slogans so that it can forget them if it forms a government. Then it will be transformed into a lamb in relation to the EU and NATO (…)

We go against the current of false hopes. We will be vindicated much more quickly now, once again. The people’s anger must not be turned into disillusionment. The people have no need of today’s memoranda or other amended memoranda (…)

There are no painless solutions. The path of rupture, conflict, requires sacrifices, but these will lead to the people’s prosperity. The path of compromise proposed by other forces requires endlesspainful and pointless sacrifices, without a positive prospect for the people (…)

The only government which can meet the challenges of the crisis and the people’s needs is the one which will unilaterally cancel the debt, denounce and overthrow the Memorandum-Loan Agreement, disengage Greece from the EU and make the people the only master of the wealth which they create and which exists in Greece. These pre-conditions are not desired or proclaimed (even in their slogansand speeches) by any other party (..) Their goal is to reduce the strength of the KKE. They distort the goals of struggle and positions of the KKE.

The offensive against the KKE is being carried out because it refuses to be herded into a government for the management of the crisis at the expense of both the people and the productive and development potential of the country.

The KKE has the historic responsibility not to become the communist alibi for a government which before it has even been formed is certain not to improve the people’s living standards, or to free them from austerity and unemployment. The historic responsibility of the KKE stands against the historic irresponsibility of SYRIZA.

The youth and the workers in general who are suffering must correct the vote they gave to “Golden Dawn”, as they surely do not agree with their Nazi views.

If elections are held, change your vote. Strengthen the KKE in order to empower the people’s struggle, the people’s alliance, so that the struggle for the overthrow can be victorious.

Es muß wohl noch viel schlechter werden, bis es besser wird !

Es ist erschreckend, was die Lohnabhängigen und kleinen Gewerbetreibenden sowie Handwerker alles zu schlucken bereit sind in der derzeitigen zyklischen Überproduktionskrise des Kapitalismus. Selbst in Ländern wie Griechenland oder Portugal, wo es starke kommunistische Parteien mit den richtigen Antworten auf die Fragen der Zeit gibt, steigt ihr Anhang wie ihr Wählerzuspruch nur geringfügig. Wir müssen uns leider darauf einstellen, noch eine Weile die Fackel der Wahrheit durch die Geschichte zu tragen. Offensichtlich sind die ständigen Indoktrinierungen der Großmedien derart in die Hirne eingedrungen, daß zu befürchten ist, daß das Denkvermögen erst wieder einsetzt, wenn die Lohnabhängigen nichts mehr zu verlieren haben als ihre Ketten.

Dabei müßte eigentlich bereits heute allen klar werden, daß der real existierende Kapitalismus nicht nur eine im Ergebnis ungerechte, sondern auch eine höchst ineffiziente Wirtschaftsform ist. Die Wirtschaft, in der allein die Kapitaleigner entscheiden, was passiert, hat nur einen Motor: Gewinnmaximierung, wie es Ratzinger ausdrückt, Maximalprofit, wie das bei Marxisten heißt. So ist kapitalistische Marktwirtschaft keinesfalls das geeignete Instrument zum Erreichen einer optimalen Befriedigung der wirklichen Bedürfnisse aller Menschen, bietet sie doch nur an, was ein Kapitalist oder eine Kapitalistengruppe mit möglichst hohem Gewinn – je höher desto besser – zu verkaufen können glaubt. Bedürfnisse, deren Befriedigung keine solchen Gewinne erwarten läßt, bleiben unter solchen Bedingungen eben unbefriedigt.

Aber auch Produktverbesserungen werden unter diesen Vorzeichen langsamer umgesetzt, als es der wissenschaftliche Fortschritt erlaubt: schließlich gilt es zuerst im Interesse des Maximalprofits eine bestehende Produktlinie so lange wie möglich auszureizen, denn je länger sie läuft, desto höher werden die Gewinnraten – irgendwann ist schließlich der Punkt überschritten, wo Entwicklungskosten und Produktionsanlagen abgeschrieben sind, und dann setzt es besonders fette Extraprofite.

Profitsteigernd wirkt sich ebenfalls die von allen EU-Regierungen geforderten moderaten Lohnabschlüsse unterhalb der Inflationsraten und der Produktivitätssteigerungen aus – weil die Profite für die Kapitalseite um so höher ausfallen, als den Lohnabhängigen und Pensionisten möglichst wenig zugestanden wird, und natürlich auch den Ländern, aus denen die meisten Rohstoffe stammen, die in den industriellen Zentren für die moderne Produktion unverzichtbar sind. Diese Länder sind wohl unterentwickelt, aber nicht aus eigener Unfähigkeit, sondern weil sie mit aller Macht in diesem Zustand gehalten werden, damit sie nicht zu Konkurrenten werden. Dazu tun neben Kriegen auch Hungersnöte etliches beitragen – da die Landwirtschaft weltweit genug Nahrung für mehr Menschen erzeugt, als zur Zeit leben, darf lokal auftretender extremer Mangel als gewollt und von einem verbrecherischen Wirtschaftssystem organisiert bezeichnet werden. Was ist das eigentliche für eine Freiheit, den Hungertod eines Kindes alle 5 Sekunden zu organisieren? Denn genau in einer solchen Welt leben wir – und über eine Milliarde Menschen ist mittlerweile unterernährt.

Es müßte somit wirklich allen einleuchten, daß es so nicht weitergehen kann. Das Rad braucht auch nicht neu erfunden zu werden, wie die Alternative ausschauen soll. Es braucht eine Wirtschaft, die ausschließlich dazu dient, die Bedürfnisse aller Menschen zu erfüllen. Dazu muß dem Kapital die Entscheidungsgewalt, was in der Wirtschaft geschieht, entrissen werden – Marxisten nennen diesen Vorgang sozialistische Revolution. Heute ist die Wirtschaft jeder Volksherrschaft (das ist nichts als die Übersetzung von Demokratie!) entzogen, nach einer sozialistischen Revolution erst kann hier wahre Demokratie einziehen. Sie wird eine auf wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen gründende Planwirtschaft brauchen, die auf einer allgemeinen Erhebung der Bedürfnisse, die es mit der Wirtschaft zu befriedigen gilt, aufbauen wird müssen – etwas das heute dank der Entwicklung der Informationstechnologie im Gegensatz zu 1918 problemfrei möglich ist.

Auch das Rätesystem als basisdemokratische Entscheidungsstruktur braucht nicht neu erfunden zu werden: das Funktionieren eines solchen Systems kann allerdings auch erst mit heutiger Informationstechnologie gewährleistet werden, die es möglich macht, allen, die über eine Frage mitentscheiden sollen, blitzartig sämtliche Vorelemente zur Entscheidungsfindung zugänglich zu machen.

Daß das einhergehen muß mit einer kräftigen Reduzierung der wöchentlichen Arbeitszeit, damit die Einzelnen die Zeit haben, sich an diesem Entscheidungsfindungsprozeß zu beteiligen, versteht sich von selber. Das ist aber heute auch kein Problem mehr, sondern die Lösung für die Frage der Arbeitslosigkeit!

Alles Suchen nach einem wie auch immer gearteten »dritten Weg«, einem Kapitalismus mit menschlichem Antlitz, ist nur Ablenkungsmanöver. Kapitalismus funktioniert dann gut, wenn das Kapital Maximalprofite einfährt. Warum sollten wir hoffen, es könne einen Kapitalismus geben, der schlechter funktioniert, als es seine Nutznießer möchten? Das wird nie funktionieren!

Für Leute, die immer schon wissen wollten, was der englische Text zu bieten hat: „Working Class Hero“ in einer Nachdichtung des Tiroler Musikers Thomas Patscheider: TomtheToms-WorkingClassHero.mp3

Schlaues Verhalten im Rahmen des real existierenden Kapitalismus hilft gegen das zuviel Monat am Ende des Geldes !

Im Rahmen des real existierenden Kapitalismus wird zunächst die Arbeitskraft der Lohnabhängigen vom Kapital ausgebeutet, und dann werden die Lohnabhängigen noch einmal als konsumierendes Volk vom selben Kapital gemolken.

Wir sind allerdings nicht dazu verpflichtet, unüberlegt und willenlos mitzuspielen. Immerhin gibt es die Möglichkeit, einfach so die Profite der Supermarkt- und Drogeriekettenaktionäre zu sichern – und es gibt die Möglichkeit, sein Einkaufsverhalten dahingehend zu ändern, indem die Direktvertriebsschiene genutzt wird, wo es die Möglichkeit gibt mit einer Mitgliedschaft Rabatte (durchschnittlich 30%) für eigene Einkäufe zu bekommen, und zusätzlich Provisionen für die Einkäufe von geworbenen anderen Mitgliedern zu erhalten. Auf diese Weise führt der Einkauf zu einem Zusatzeinkommen, ohne irgendwelche Nachteile damit in Kauf zu nehmen, bis es dann doch eines Tageszum Sozialismus kommt.

Weil's nervt, wenn ständig was von „Gott“ aus dem Lautsprecher dudelt, hier ein paar Sätze zum Nachdenken:

Das Fundament der irreligiösen Kritik ist: Der Mensch macht die Religion, die Religion macht nicht den Menschen. Und zwar ist die Religion das Selbstbewußtsein und das Selbstgefühl des Menschen, der sich entweder noch nicht erworben oder schon wieder verloren hat. Aber der Mensch, das ist kein abstraktes, außer der Welt hockendes Wesen. Der Mensch, das ist die Welt des Menschen, Staat, Sozietät. Dieser Staat, diese Sozietät produzieren die Religion, ein verkehrtes Weltbewußtsein, weil sie eine verkehrte Welt sind. Die Religion ist die allgemeine Theorie dieser Welt, ihr enzyklopädisches Kompendium, ihre Logik in populärer Form, ihr spiritualistischer Point d'honneur (Ehrenpunkt), ihr Enthusiasmus, ihre moralische Sanktion, ihre feierliche Ergänzung, ihr allgemeiner Trost- und Rechtfertigungsgrund. Sie ist die phantastische Verwirklichung des menschlichen Wesens, weil das menschliche Wesen keine wahre Wirklichkeit besitzt. Der Kampf gegen die Religion ist also mittelbar der Kampf gegen jene Welt, deren geistiges Aroma die Religion ist. Das religiöse Elend ist in einem der Ausdruck des wirklichen Elends und in einem die Protestation gegen das wirkliche Elend. Die Religion ist der Seufzer der bedrängten Kreatur, das Gemüt einer herzlosen Welt, wie sie der Geist geistloser Zustände ist. Sie ist das Opium des Volks.

Die Aufhebung der Religion als des illusorischen Glücks des Volkes ist die Forderung seines wirklichen Glücks. Die Forderung, die Illusionen über seinen Zustand aufzugeben, ist die Forderung, einen Zustand aufzugeben, der der Illusionen bedarf. Die Kritik der Religion ist also im Keim die Kritik des Jammertals, dessen Heiligenschein die Religion ist. . . .

Die Kritik des Himmels verwandelt sich damit in die Kritik der Erde, die Kritik der Religion in die Kritik des Rechts, die Kritik der Theologie in die Kritik der Politik.

So viel, wie am 11. September 2011, wurde mit Sicherheit kaum jemals an einem Tag synchron in allen Großmedien gelogen.

Und sie lügen seit dem US-Ereignis am 11. September 2001 zu diesem Thema, daß sich die Balken biegen. So sollen wir glauben, ein Wolkenkratzer könne wie im freien Fall einstürzen, wenn oben ein Flugzeug einschlägt, ohne zusätzlich gesprengt zu werden – die unteren Etagen hätten also den Fall der oberen nicht einmal um Sekundenbruchteile abgebremst! Fragt sich, warum eigentlich das Empire State Building noch steht, wo auch schon mal ein Flugzeug oben einschlug. Am schlimmsten aber sind die Lügen im Zusammenhang mit dem Pentagon, wo eindeutig keine Boeing, sondern eine Cruise Missile einschlug. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst davon, was von dem, was da erzählt wurde, so unwahrscheinlich ist, daß nur Leichtgläubigste es nachbeten können:

Marxistisch-leninistische Grundlagenschulung

Diese Grundlagenschule wurde gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts von der SDAJ (Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterjugend, im Internet zu finden unter www.sdaj-online.de) zusammengestellt. Sie besteht aus ausgewählten Texten zu den Themen Philosophie, Politische Ökonomie und Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung. Sie sollen der gemeinsamen Diskussion über die Marxistische Weltanschauung in Gruppen und Arbeitsgemeinschaften dienen. Nachdem sie in dieser Form nicht mehr im Internet steht, die Zusammenstellung der Texte uns aber nach wie vor für einen Einstieg mehr als gut ausgesucht vorkommt, stellen wir sie so, wie sie damals war, wieder der Öffentlichkeit zur Verfügung, nicht ohne Michi und Thomas, die für die SDAJ die Auswahl nach der Konterrevolution in Osteuropa und der UdSSR besorgten, nochmals für ihre Arbeit zu danken, die wir intern seit einiger Zeit nutzen.

Die richtige Lösung von diesem Problem . . . ist nur für sehr wenige nicht angenehm!

Die Zahl derjenigen, die das bestehende kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem als schlecht ablehnen, wächst von Tag zu Tag. Zu dieser Feststellung kommt es meistens auf Grund von persönlicher Betroffenheit und Einzelerlebnissen, seltener auf Grund rein theoretischer Überlegungen. Der einen wird bekannt, wie jemand durch eine unvorhergesehene Arbeitslosigkeit aus dem relativen Wohlstand ins finanzielle Nichts gestoßen wird mit seiner ganzen Familie, weil Raten und Kredite nicht mehr bedient werden können. Der andere stößt sich daran, wie in der Dritten Welt durch das stete Absinken des Erzeugerpreises für Kaffee hunderttausenden Familien die Existenzgrundlage entzogen wird, und entdeckt, daß das mit Preisen für andere Güter – seien es Lebensmittel, Rohstoffe oder Fertigprodukte – absolut gleich läuft, weil am angeblich »freien Markt« internationale Großkonzerne die Preise diktieren. Wieder andere stoßen sich an der aggressiven US-Kriegspolitik, der Einschränkung demokratischer Rechte unter dem Vorwand der »Bekämpfung des Terrorismus«, den Riesenprofiten einiger weniger Großer an den Börsen auf Kosten der vielen Kleinen, die dort zum Mitspielen verleitet wurden, am Spekulantenwahnsinn mit Währungen, die ganze Volkswirtschaften zu ruinieren drohen, am Umgang mit AsylbewerberInnen oder Wirtschaftsflüchtlingen, an der Ausbeutung der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit (oder der daraus hervorgerufen Ängste und der gesteigerten Konkurrenz zwischen Lohnabhängigen), um die sozialen Errungenschaften anzuknabbern und Lohndruck auszuüben usw. usf.

Gar viele engagieren sich in Vereinigungen, die sich mit einer einzigen der als negativ erkannten Auswirkungen des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems befassen. Darüber geht leider oft der Zusammenhang verloren, weswegen auch keinerlei wirkliche Lösung des Problems auf diesem Weg zu erreichen ist. Bestenfalls kommt es im Bereich der in Unterentwicklung gehaltenen und überausgebeuteten Ländern auf karitativem Weg zu einer (keineswegs abzulehnenden) Verbesserung der Lebensumstände kleinerer Bevölkerungsgruppen.

Eine wirkliche Lösung all dieser Teilprobleme ist aber nur möglich, wenn wir alle zusammen begreifen, daß sie eine logische und zwangsläufige Folge des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems sind. Was das lehrt ist, daß dieses kapitalistische System weg muß. Doch was soll an die Stelle?

Immer weniger Menschen haben eine Antwort auf diese Frage, obwohl es keinen Grund gibt, das Rad ständig neu zu erfinden, denn die richtige Lösung für dieses Problem hat einen Namen: Aufbau einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft nach der Vergesellschaftung der Produktionsmittel mittels eines rätedemokratischen Systems, das alle Menschen aktiv einbezieht, und das es möglich macht, die Produktionsmittel nach wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien unter Respektierung von Natur und Umwelt zur wirklichen Bedürfnisbefriedigung einzusetzen statt nur zur Erzielung des Maximalprofits zu Gunsten einer bornierten Minderheit mit der Einstellung »Nach uns die Sintflut«, wie das unter kapitalistischen Vorzeichen geschieht.

Un comportement rusé vous aidera dans le cadre du capitalisme réellement existant contre le trop de mois à la fin de l'argent !

Dans le cadre du capitalisme réellement existant, la force de travail des salariés et des salariées est exploitée au profit du capital, puis les salariés et salariées sont encore une fois exploités en tant que consommateurs par ce même capital.

Nous ne sommes cependant pas obligés de jouer le jeu sans y réfléchir. Il est naturellement possible d'assurer tout simplement les profits des actionnaires des chaînes de supermarchés et de drogeries, mais il y a aussi la possibilité de changer son comportement d'achat en utilisant les canaux de la vente directe avec l'offre de rabais (en moyenne 30%) aux membres pour leurs achats propres et de provisions supplémentaires pour les achats d'autres membres qu'on a parrainé. De cette façon l'achat produit un revenu supplémentaire sans subir de désavantages jusqu'à l'avènement du socialisme.

Vous apprendrez en détail comment cela fonctionne (pour la France, la Belgique, le Luxembourg, l'Allemagne et l'Autriche) en vous montrant intéressé par un courriel à pensionssicherung@yahoo.de en indiquant votre numéro de téléphone fixe – vous serez rapidement appelé !

Probablement jamais auparavent il a été menti autant dans tous les médias grand-public que le 11 septembre 2011 :

Et ils mentent à l'excès depuis les évènements du 11 septembre 2001 aux Etats Unis d'Amérique. Ainsi nous devrions croire selon eux qu'une tour peut s'écrouler avec la vitesse de la chute libre sans être préparée à la démolition par des explosifs suite à un avion qui entre dans les étages supérieures. Les étages en dessous n'auraient donc freiné en rien cette chute. En fait: pourquoi le Empire State Building est toujours debout ? Comment a-t-il pû supporter un avion qui s'y est encastré dans les étages supérieures ? Encore plus grossiers sont les mensonges quant au Pentagon, qui a été touché par un Cruise Missile et non par un Boeing. Laissez-vous convaincre en regardant vite sur:

Attention : il est rare que nos articles sont les mêmes en allemand et en français. Pour les multilingues il est donc recommandé de consulter les deux sections!

La véritable solution de ce problème . . . n'est désagréable qu'à une minorité infime!

Le nombre de ceux qui refusent le système économique croît de jour en jour. Mais ils parviennent à cette constatation à cause de déconvenues personnelles, rarement suite à une réflexion théorique. L'une apprend qu'une personne mise au chômage bascule d'une relative aisance dans le néant financier avec toute sa famille, à cause de l'impossibilité de faire face aux échéances des crédits et à d'autres obligations. L'autre est scandalisé par la constante chute des prix du café au Tiers Monde, qui prive des centaines de milliers de familles de leur base existentielle. Idem pour les prix des autres produits alimentaires, des matières premières ou des produits manufacturés, car sur le marché prétendument libre, c'est les grandes multinationales qui dictent les prix. D'autres se heurtent à la politique de guerre agressive des USA., à la limitation des droits démocratiques sous prétexte de la lutte contre le terrorisme, aux profits pharamineux réalisés par quelques spéculateurs aux dépens d'innombrables petits épargnants induits à jouer sur la roulette des marchés boursiers et des devises qui risquent de ruiner des économies entières. D'autres encore sont choqués par les traitements indignes que subissent les demandeurs d'asile, ou par l'exploitation du chômage élevé (ou des peurs qu'il suscite et de la concurrence accrue entre salariés) pour grignoter les acquis sociaux et réduire les salaires, etc.

Nombreux parmi ceux-là s'engagent dans des associations confrontées chacune à l'un ou l'autre des effets néfastes du capitalisme. Engagements utiles, mais fatalement insuffisants, car ils perdent de vue la corrélation entre tous ces avatars, et ne peuvent espérer trouver dans des actions ponctuelles la solution du problème. Au mieux parvient-on, comme dans les pays surexploités et maintenus en sous-développement, à obtenir des améliorations des conditions de vie de petits groupes. Ces aides ou projets pilotes, c'est mieux que rien, mais laissent pour compte la majorité des populations.

L'unique solution à tous ces fragments d'un même problème n'est possible que si l'on comprend, qu'ils sont tous liés au système d'économie capitaliste. L'évidente conclusion est que ce système doit disparaître. Mais par quoi le remplacer ?

Trop peu de personnes semblent connaître la réponse à cette question. Il n'y a pourtant aucune raison de vouloir tout le temps réinventer la roue, puisque la solution de ce problème existe. C'est la construction d'une société démocratique, où la socialisation des moyens de production, moyennant une démocratie conseilliste à participation réelle de tout citoyen à tous les niveaux de l’activité humaine, permet d'employer ces moyens de production, selon des principes scientifiques et dans le respect de l'être humain ainsi que de la nature, à la satisfaction de besoins réels. C'est le contraire de ce qui se passe dans le système capitaliste, où l'on ne vise que les profits maxima au bénéfice d'une minorité bornée »après moi le déluge!«.

The people’s-labour movement has the strength to face the provocateur mechanisms of the bourgeois system – see video at http://www.youtube.com/user/kkemedia#p/u/0/sHMLD_Vql0o

Article of the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE in relation to the statements of the international Media on the murderous attack on the large demonstration of PAME – Friday, 21 October 2011

The murderous attack unleashed by anarcho-fascist groups against the enormous rally which was organized by the class-oriented trade unions, rallied in the All-workers’ Militant Front (PAME) in opposition to the new anti-people measures of the government, made the news on a global scale. Nevertheless, there were many attempts by the bourgeois media to distort the facts.

Indeed in this effort they use as arguments fabrications and lie drawn from the opportunist forces and the Trotskyist websites.

As is well-known on the 19-20 October hundreds of thousands of workers participated in the big strike mobilisation, in which the class-oriented trade unions of PAME played the leading role, together with other forces of the social alliance (MAS,PASEVE,PASY,OGE). The success of the 1^st day of the strike and the massive demonstration in the central square of Athens, outside Parliament, where PAME was predominant, sent a strong message to the government, the EU, capital: No sacrifice for the plutocracy! The workers are not responsible for the capitalist crisis! The fight for goals of struggle which are connected to the contemporary needs, in rupture with the capitalist system, the concentration of forces for the people’s power and economy!

The fake-incidents, the “hide and seek” with the riot police, the damage to shops and buildings, which small provocateur groups organized, could not extinguish the message of the huge popular demonstration of PAME. Certain international media, in an attempt to mislead the workers in their countries spoke of an attack and attempt of the demonstrators to occupy the parliament. Something which of course had no relation to reality.

On the 2nd day the forces of capital sought to suppress the strong political message of the workers. PAME had announced the encirclement of the Parliament for the time when the anti-worker measures were to be discussed and voted on by article with a roll call vote, at the request of the KKE. For this reason they mobilised and unleashed in a planned way organized groups with specific instructions and anarcho-fascists who with Molotov cocktails, stones, and other weapons which are used by the police, such as teargas and stun grenades, attempted to disperse the majestic rally of the workers and people in Syntagma and especially the part where PAME was concentrated. The assault took place on the edges of the demonstration and had as a result the injury of 80 PAME demonstrators and the death of the construction worker-trade unionist of PAME, Dimitris Kotzaridis. Nevertheless, their goal, which was to disperse the rally of PAME, to intimidate and suppress the working class and popular torrent for counterattack which came onto the streets for the 48 hr general strike, failed! The forces of the protection of the rally successfully repelled the murderous assault!

Certain international bourgeois media sought to present the before mentioned incidents as a conflict between two ideological-political currents inside the people’s movement. This approach has nothing to do with reality since in Greece it is well-known that these groups which appear under the cover of the black colour, the hood, “anarchism” are organized and staffed by the forces of the bourgeois system and include everything from organized hooligans of football teams, to hired thugs from night clubs, members of neo-Nazi organizations and forces of security services. There is a lot of evidence from the recent past (photographs and videos) that show the relations of these groups with the mechanisms of the system. They are murderous groups which serve the bourgeois system and have no relation with the people’s movement. They are unleashed by the system itself in order to organize provocations (like the burning of the bank on 5/5/2010 where three employees died) and provide a pretext to the security forces so as to use the equipment they possess in order to disperse the mass people’s demonstrations.

Even more dangerous and dirty is the slander that PAME protected the parliament from the protesters, an allegation reproduced by bourgeois and opportunist mass media - domestic and international ones. This dirty allegation seeks to portrait PAME as a support of the bourgeois system and the KKE as a “systemic force”, as a party of the bourgeois system. It emanates from those forces which praise the “spontaneous” movement and present it in opposition to the organized class-oriented workers’ movement. It is they who misleadingly identify the revolution and the people’s uprising with the burning of rubbish bins and the breaking of shop windows and not with the organized political struggle of the workers’ movement which has roots in the factories, in workplaces, in people’s neighbourhoods and will dispute the bourgeois power leading to a conflict with the imperialist organizations of NATO and the EU, to the establishment of people’s power. The KKE and PAME do not need any “credentials” for their militancy which the bourgeois media hand over to the hooded provocateurs, to the anarcho-fascist groups. Our history and activity has the appreciation of hundred of thousands of working people who take part in the people’s demonstrations, of millions of workers who appreciate the consistent, unwavering struggle of our party, the firmness of its goals for the overthrow of the capitalist barbarity and the militancy of its members and cadre in the places where they work and live. This slander that PAME allegedly “protected the bourgeois parliament from the rebels” has nothing to do with reality and moreover it seeks to conceal the truth, namely the fact that PAME managed, thanks to its strong vigilance, to defend the demonstration and prevent the plans for its dissolution.

As we say in Greece “lies have short legs”… On Friday morning hundreds of cadres and members of the KKE, numerous forces of the class-oriented movement visited many workplaces informing the working people and preparing new mobilizations. This mass political work among the people which will continue on a daily basis constitutes a decisive response to every kind of anarcho-fascist, to the police informers, to the bourgeois state, to the government and the parties of capital, the opportunist formations.

An unprecedented sea of people in the majestic strike rally of PAME in Athens and in 70 other cities all across Greece

An unprecedented sea of hundreds of thousands of people participated in the majestic strike rally of PAME, which filled Athens, the like of which has not been seen in recent decades, on the first day of the 48 hours nationwide general strike. All the central roads of Athens had been filled to a suffocating level by the enormous crowds of workers for many hours.

Massive rallies unprecedented in size and militancy took place in all the cities throughout Greece.

These forces were rallied so that the draft legislation with new anti-people measures will not be voted through, with the following line: Down with the government and the parties of the plutocracy, working class-popular organization and alliance everywhere, a solution concerning the question of power. The slogan which resounded in the rally was “Worker, without you no cog can turn, you can do without the bosses”, “Disobedience to the plutocracy, People, a front for power”.

The huge success of the strike was based on the paralysis of countless factories, big production units and other workplaces by workers and employees who experience poverty, destitution, and the dead-end of unemployment. Its huge size and militancy was also based on the closure of numerous small shops and businesses which face the danger of closing down permanently. Many new forces of workers participated for the first time in the strike giving a special dynamic to the struggle against the barbarity of the measures of the government, the plutocracy, the IMF, the EU.

From dawn the forces of PAME with their picket lines supported decisively the workers in “ghetto” workplaces who decided to go on strike for the first time, defying employer intimidation and even civil mobilization, which the government had imposed on the striking garbage collectors of the municipalities, and the other mechanisms of strike breakers used by the government.

The provocateur groups who jumped out of the contingents of the compromised trade union organizations of GSEE and ADEDY sought once again to create staged incidents. Nevertheless, they did not manage to conceal the huge size and the demands of the immense strike rally, the organized and protected participation of the working people in the demonstrations of PAME where not a single incident occurred.

Giorgos Perros, member of the Executive Secretariat of PAME, stated amongst other things from the podium of the strike rally: “there is no pro-people PASOK. There is no pro-people government no matter if it is called “centre-left”, or “left”, if it does not come into conflict with the monopolies, if its programme does not include the overthrow of the monopolies or in other words their socialization. Either with the people or with the monopolies. Workers’- people’s power or monopolies’ power. There is no other way! Don’t waste any moment. Counterattack all together! Tomorrow, on Thursday everyone must come to the encirclement of the Parliament by PAME from all sides and streets.

Processes in the bourgeois parties to inhibit the people’s torrent of rage

The very big success of the first day of the strike exerts pressure on the parties of plutocracy and its government. Thus, at these moments there is an intensification of the processes for the reformation of the political system by PASOK and ND and the other bourgeois parties, with scenarios of a “big coalition of PASOK-ND” as well as efforts to ensure the consensus for the passing of the anti-people measures against the torrent of the strike that flooded Athens and other cities today.

The General Secretary of the Central Commitee of the KKE, Aleka Papariga, mentioned the following in relation to these processes in her statements to the media : “ I don’t think that Mr Papandreou expects our toleration and consensus. Maybe for reasons to do with publicity abroad he is meeting with the parties in order to demonstrate that he has their support. He has no support from us. None whatsoever. What he has from us is our radical, total, real and substantial confrontation.”

After her departure from the meeting which she had with the Prime Minister, who has carried out a series of meetings with all the party leaders, the General Secretary of the Central Commitee of the KKE, stated :

“From now on things will literally be decided by the mighty people and not by the negotiations which the government will carry out or by the councils and caucuses with the other parties.” Aleka Papariga called on the people to go forward without fear, with out illusions until the final victory and she added: “There is one solution: the wealth which exists is this country must become the people’s. We must disengage from the bonds of the EU and unilaterally cancel the debt. There is no intermediate solution.”

It should be noted that all the forces of the class-oriented forces will rally for the second strike battle on thursday and for the encirclement of the Parliament which will constitute a new landmark in the struggle against the anti-worker measures, in conflict with the monopolies and their power.

What's really up in Syria ?

A letter from the Syrian Communist Party (unified)

Tel: (+96311) 4410264 , 4429503 Damascus, Fax: (+96311) 4422383, Date:17-9-2011

http://www.syrcomparty.org , E-mail: scp@scs-net.org

We would like to present to you a brief presentation and analysis of the successive events taking place in our country, Syria, so that we might highlight some facts, on one hand, and discredit some lies fabricated and marketed by imperialist propaganda against Syria.

Ever since the events began in last March, scores of T.V stations in America, Great Britain, and France, some stations in the Arab world, and hundreds of sites on the internet have been mobilized to work as hard as they can in order to falsify the reality of those events, as far as the world public opinion is concerned, special programs are broadcast to serve this purpose by day and night.

The American President would daily give statements which include rude threats against Syria as well as flagrant intervention in the internal of fairs of the Syria people. High ranking officials in the European Union would imitate the American President.

Such threats and interventions reached the top degree when the America President claimed the irrelevance and illegitimacy of the Syrian regime. Harsh and unjust economic sanctions have been imposed against the Syrian people and its economy. More dangerous, still, are the plans discussed and endorsed by Nato to launch waves of air strikes for several weeks against 30 strategic sites in Syria, exactly similar to what had happened in Yugoslavia.

Some officials in Europe would never hesitate to call for dealing with the situation in Syria exactly as though it were a pale copy of the Libyan crisis. Scores of thousands of civilians have been massacred, tens of plants and economic sites have been destroyed by air strikes, in the mean time, Libya is being divided.

States members of the imperialist international alliance have been trying, by all means possible, to pass a U.N Security Council resolution condemning Syria, to be followed by successive resolutions against Syria and subjugate it to chapter seven of the U.N charter, so that an aggressive campaign would become legalized. Thanks to the opposition of Russia and China, accompanied by South Africa, India, Brazil and Lebanon, imperialist attempts at U.N Security Council are merely, until now, a failure.

All these moves take place under tow pretexts:

Demonstrators in Syria are killed, security procedures are being resorted to while dealing with protesting demonstrations.
Manipulating the shortcomings of the regime un Syria, such as the lack in democracy and the monopoly of power by the ruling party, in order to pressure the regime to adopt some internal changes, although any internal change should be considered as a partial part of the national sovereignty of any county.

Actually, several protest demonstration began in last March, calling for social, economic, and democratic, reforms. The majority of these demands were supported by our party as a way to deal with ill effects of the implementation of a liberal program in the economy, the deals struck with the International Monetary Fund, and the transformation of Syria to a market economy. The effects were detrimental to the level of living of poor and middle strata.

The political leadership of the county has been continuously warned, through the party press, official meetings or official memoranda, the last of which was five weeks ago. The demonstrations were peaceful.

Soon they were manipulated by religious fundamentalist and radical groups whose ideologies date back to the middle ages.

Demonstrations turned from peaceful to armed ones aiming to achieve purposes having nothing to do with social and political reforms. While dealing these demonstrations, the official security forces committed several mistakes which are unjustifiable. consequently, actions were followed by reactions. Scores of civilians and soldiers were killed. Armed gangs were formed, attacking public and private properties, and setting up barriers inside some cities in which they had had the upper hand. During the last several months, these gangs were busy establishing armed sites in the border regions between Syria, on one hand, and Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq to insure continuity of weaponry and help supplies through them.

Anyhow, the gangs have not succeeded in establishing a stable border basis. This cost hundreds of civilians and soldiers, i.e. more than 2000 victims. In the mean time several events were exaggerated. Facts were falsified. The latest up to date electronic and media equipments were employed in order to show that the Syrian army is completely responsible for these acts, and that the armed gangs bore no responsibility, what so ever.

Due to the pressure of the events, the government adopted several social and democratic reforms including: annulling the emergency regulations, exceptional courts, and considering peaceful demonstrations legal. Recently a new election law and a law permitting the establishment of political parties have been adopted. Preparations for a new or a modified constitution are underway.

New laws covering media and local administration have also been adopted.

The aims of these laws and procedures are: to break the monopoly of power by the Ba׳th ruling party, to established a pluralistic and democratic society, to insure public as well as private freedom, to help launch the freedom of expression and to acknowledge the right of the opposition to peaceful political activity.

In spite of our reservations as regards some articles, these laws are very important. For more than forty years, our party has struggled to have such laws adopted. Should these laws be implemented, they could be considered as an important step toward and the transition of Syria to a democratic and pluralistic society.

Large sectors of the national peaceful opposition have welcomed there procedures, whereas the fundamentalist and armed opposition are still sticking to the slogan of toppling the regime, en acting tension, and sectarian strives.

In an attempt to portray the problem as thought it were a sectarian or a cult strife, this would be a flagrant forgery and falsification of facts.

We can sum up the situation as follows:

Armed tension in Syrian cities and towns has been reduced. Armed gangs have suffered heavily. However some of them are able to resume their activities.
Peaceful demonstrations have not disappeared and are not confronted violently, unless they have been accompanied by violent activities.
The state has called upon the national opposition to take part in a comprehensive political dialogues aiming to help achieve the transition to democracy and pluralism peacefully. Such a dialogue faces many difficulties most important of which is the pressure of armed groups which oppose peaceful dialogue and a peaceful solution, depending on support from abroad.
Imperialist and colonialist threats against Syria have increased. Although these threats face many difficulties, and we have to get ready to confront them.

As far as the situation in our country is concerned, it appears as follows:

- Protest movements are still existing at different levels. They differ from a governorate to another. One can notice that most moves start from mosques, rural areas and slum houses, and head toward city centers, down town.

- Moves among ethnic or religious minorities are scarce. In factories, universities and trade unions, there are no moves.

- Within the circles of big bourgeoisie whether it be industrial or economic, especially in large cities Aleppo, Lattakia, and Damascus, there are no moves.

- There are no moves inside clans and tribes.

- The opposition is made up of a wide and various spectrum of parties. Some are patriotic, opposing external intervention and armed gangs. In addition, there is the Muslim brother hood which is considered as the most active and well-organized party inside the country and abroad.

There are, also, several traditionalist groups with different orientations, whose influence has become very clearly visible in gatherings and demonstrations in different areas. These groups do not hide their aims and purposes which are typically reactionary and sectarian.

On the spot, the most active and important groups ever since the protests began are the local coordination’s which include basically different groups of youth without having any common clear ideological plans or orientations except for the slogan “Down with the regime”. They are exposed to external as well as internal pressure.

- Opposition abroad consisting mainly of intellectuals, traditionalists, persons who quitted the regime and haw some internal extensions (Khadam and Refa׳at Al Assad).

During the last period, these forces held several conferences abroad, (except for a meeting held at Samir Amis hotel in Damascus by the internal opposition) aiming to mobilize forces and coordinate stances. Ideological, political differences, as well as, differences in interests prevailed. Some opposition forces abroad work hard to gain the support of foreign and colonialist forces.

- Up till now, the United States, France, and Great Britain are leading the international campaign of threats and incitement against the regime in Syria aiming to impose more and more packages of sanctions on Syria, specially sanctions by U.N Security Council and other international organizations, Russia and China continue opposing imposing such sanctions and procedures. Turkey has chosen an opportunistic stance which moves up and down according to election political and regional interests. Roughly speaking, there is an international unanimity opposing direct military measures against Syria as what happened to Libya, provided that the Arab League and the U.N Security Council do not adopt resolutions preparing the way for that purpose. The conflict over this issue is fierce.

- Except for Qatar which plays a vital and important role in the conspiracy against Syria, there are different views and stances in the Arab world as regards the situation in Syria.

- Day by day, the economic situation is deteriorating, pressure on the living conditions of masses increases.

- The regime is coherent and has great potentialities. Five months after the break out of events, none of the basic institutions (the party, the army, the security, the institutions of state, embassies, popular organizations, trade unions, the Progressive National Front …..) have never experienced any split.

Surely, the picture is not static, and should be viewed according to its dynamics, variables and development day by day.

Possible scenarios:

- The crisis might continue for a long period, leading to more calamities, bloodshed suffering.

- A break down leading to a general anarchy. a civil war or something similar to it might take place, paving the way for external intervention.

- An apparent split in the opposition might happen, making a part of it accept opening a serious dialogue with the regime to reach a new social contract in the country.

- To put an end to differences in approaches and “motionlessness” as regards the forces of the regime.

There are two possible results: either to move forward toward achieving a political solution to the crisis making a quick end firm and possible or to continue resorting to the security treatment of the crisis at all costs.

It’s difficult to foretell the way in which a decisive solution is possible. Some unexpected events might happen, enforcing all parties to compromise, or accept a deal imposed by external powers to help the country find an away out of the tunnel it has rushed through.

Where is the party now?

To start with, we would like to draw your attention that our party had sent memorandum to the regional command on the eve of the tenth conference of AL-Baa׳th party in 2005. The party demanded that the state be separated from the party, democracy and liberties be guaranteed, emergency regulations be lifted, a democratic law for parties be adopted, political and opinion prisoners be released, the domination of AL-Baa׳th party on trade unions be ended, corruption be fought….etc.

Further, we would like to add that the party has asserted, in all the documents adopted during the last period that it supported the national stance of Syria.

To materialize this aim, the social, economic and democratic needs of popular masses should be met. We discussed in detail these demands in our conferences and documents.

In its analysis of the deep and current crisis of our country, our party had made it clear that the main contradiction is between the political formula used to rule the country for several decades and the demands for democracy, social, economical and cultural development needed by the Syria society.

The content of our view is that the political formula is based on the monopoly of authority by the AL-Baa׳th party, the trusteeship on the popular movement and its organizations. This formula led to decadence and bureaucracy, and the corruption of state machine. Consequently, economic and social reform plans became in need of reconsideration to be up dated with the requirements of progress.

In brief, our party believes that the essence of the current crisis is the disproportion between the structure of the regime and the tasks of Syria. At the same time, the party had emphasized that the enemy and imperialist forces made the best of this internal disproportion to enhance the level of conspiracy against Syria, and use it as a Trojan horse to serve its well-known objective, as was mentioned above.

Accordingly, the Syrian Communist Party (Unified) is not neutral as regards the required alternative, on one hand, and the necessary means to achieve this objective, on the other.

Political solution and the continuity of a real and radical reform constitute the only way out of the crisis. Security procedures help increase the components of the crisis and deepen it more and more and empty the contents of reforms.

The current situation, we assert, requires a constructive and faithful dialogue all honest and patriotic forces, regardless of differences in opinions or views for the purpose of reaching an agreement or a radical reform plan serving the needs of popular masses and guarantees the creation of a civil secular and democratic state opposing the imperialist and Israeli plans in the region.

If dialogue necessitates the existence of a suitable climate, dialogue itself might help create such climate, because the other options would lead only to more bloodshed, more calamities for the country and the people.

Dear comrades;

Due to the weakness of Syrian mass media in the confrontation with the gigantic media of imperialism, the mobilization of forces all over the world against Syria, and the anti-Syrian alliance consisting of imperialist powers in addition to their puppets in the region, including Turkey, which adopted a pragmatic policy to share the hegemony of western countries on the region, due to all that, our party hopes that all communist, workers and democratic parties in the world would help spread these clarifications in the public opinion in their countries.

Also, we call upon these parties to solidify with Syria because it is the most important Arab country resisting the imperialist plans to dominate the Middle East, and firmly opposing the American-Israeli plan to fragment the area in several sectarian entities whose control would be easy. Syria also supports the national resistance in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. Besides it supports the right of the Palestinian people to liberate its territories and establish a national state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Damascus: 17/9/2011
