These comrades are showing leadership even if we have disagreement with their line in the past - they speak to the need of the hour - Democracy and Class Struggle offers a Red Salute to KKE ML comrades.
A week ago the SYRIZA-ANEL government asked the people to say “no” at
the troika proposals and the “recessional policies” that the so called
institutions wanted to implement. Today, and after a resounding “no” by the
people, they cosign an antipopular agreement much worse than the rejected
proposal, a new memorandum that extends and deepens the barbarous policy of
austerity, unemployment, overtaxing, and of labor and social middle-ages.
This is not just a contradiction, but the culmination of the erratic and
adventurist policy of SYRIZA, the end of the self-illusions about the
possibility of a so-called “pro-people policy” and a so-called “alternative
course” inside the imperialist wolf-pack of the EU.
This marks the end for the dead-ends of a policy that has hidden and
still hides the true, barbaric nature of imperialism and the true role of
imperialist alliances like the EU and NATO. This is a policy which on the one
hand was subjugated under the Western imperialist yoke and on the other assumed
that could exploit imperialist contradictions and play with them by throwing
glances East-side.
This new antipopular and antilabor agreement is living proof of the
complete failure of this policy and of the collapse of the illusions about the
negotiation margins with the imperialist hawks.
It will follow now a new round of a barbaric assault against popular and
labor rights. This time this assault will be in the name of “national
consensus” and with the support of the whole bourgeois swarm (old and new), of
all the political forces that had promoted this barbaric policy for five years
now.
This SYRIZA policy “managed” also to legalize and bring forth again all
those political forces that had caused the people's wrath and rage and had led
to long and tough struggles during the years 2010-2012.
The burden of resistance against the new round of barbarity and the
overthrow of this agreement falls again on the shoulders of the working class,
the toilers, the unemployed, the pensioners and the youth. This will be done
through the launching of new resistances in the direction of building a broad
Resistance Front for the defense of popular rights.
It is clear that we also have to fight against the new illusions that
have already started to spread by Tsipras and his leading SYRIZA group. His
comments about “financial stability”, “possibilities for recovery”, “debt
restructuring” and “assured funding” are just lies similar to those
accompanying the first two memorandums. Even his assurance that “Grexit is in
the past” is nothing but wishful thinking.
The people must not be fooled neither by Tsipras' attempts to sugar the
pill through the so called “growth package of 35 billion” or his assurances
that the burden will not fall only on the shoulders of the poor. It is clear
that every penny that the imperialists will give as loan will be paid back manifold.
SYRIZA and Tsipras appear as guarantors of social justice and popular
sovereignty when at the same time they cosign an agreement that serves the
imperialist interests and the interests of capital, foreign and local.
The people must not be carried away by the nagging and gabble of the
left section of SYRIZA because they had also helped to disarm ideologically and
entrap the people. They had contributed to the illusions about “left
governance” under the imperialist yoke and capitalist domination. They still
spread illusions that a policy which will “simply” leave the country inside the
EU but outside the Eurozone is something possible under the
imperialist-capitalist domination.
They are the same persons who in their naivete and adventurism, and as
government ministers, wanted us to believe that to change imperialist
protectors would change things for the better.
The CPG (m-l) calls the people to rise up against this new assault.
We must take to the streets en masse.
We must participate on the first mobilizations of 14 and 15 July 2015.
The people must fight against disappointment, fatalism, and fear and
organize their forces and resistance, everywhere.
DOWN WITH THE NEW EU-IMF-GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT AND THE PARLIAMENT ACTS
THAT GO WITH IT!
DOWN WITH MEMORANDUMS OLD AND NEW!
NO WAITING, NO TOLERANCE!
WE MUST DEFEND OUR LIVES AND RIGHTS THROUGH STRUGGLE!
GREECE OUT OF THE EU AND NATO!
THE PEOPLES DO NOT NEED PROTECTORS!
