1.
The 20th of
September elections created a more antipopular and reactionary scene.
The SYRIZA win means that a new cycle of barbaric and antipopular
measures imposed by the third memorandum will be implemented under
the dictates of the imperialists and the full consensus of the
bourgeois powers (ND, PASOK and POTAMI).
The
reelection of SYRIZA means the continuation of the reactionary
imperialist plans in the Eastern Mediterranean, the intensification
of the implementation of US-NATO plans that butcher whole countries
and create refugee waves.
This
new election also consolidates the nazi party of Golden Dawn as the
third power.
2.
The September elections has also shown the dead-ends of the local
bourgeoisie. The “reformed” SYRIZA is in government, ND and PASOK
still exist as formidable forces and as reserves but popular
discontent is present and is expressed in many ways and in any
opportunity can be dangerous to the system.
3.
The SYRIZA win despite the loss of about 320.000 votes is the result
of the prevailing of the logics of “the lesser evil” and “the
second chance”. There are no more hopes about any radical change
but there is rather a widespread sense of despair in the broad masses
facing a new savage attack. We must also take into account that the
official “Left” has undermined and marginalizwd the militant path
all those years.
This
result was achieved through a blatant blackmail of a false dilemma of
choosing between SYRIZA or ND. This dilemma was promoted by the
SYRIZA leadership based on the “no alternative road” and the
necessity to implement the memorandum dictates.
This
dilemma was also assisted by the gallup companies and the notions of
the “useless vote” that all Leftists, parliamentary or not have
promoted.
4.
Nevertheless a major part of the electorate did succumb to the
blackmail. This was shown through the great increase of abstention,
the greatest in all years of parliamentary elections.
This
absinence is a political reaction and worries the bourgeois
headquarters. There were 760.000 fewer voters than January and this
showed that a majort part of the people didi not succumb to the false
dilemmas. But we must mobilize these people into the path of
resistance and struggle.
5.
What does not worry
the systemic forces is the growth of the nazis. That is because they
are forces useful to the system in order to implement their
reactionary political plans. Anyway the rise of the nazi Golden Dawn
party is a grave danger first of all for the popular and labor
movement. This reactionary formation is the long black hand of the
system against any popular mobilization and against the popular and
democratic demands. It is complement to the state repressive forces.
6.
The question is what kind of Left we need in order to advance the
mass workers' and people's movements against imperialist domination
and capitalist savagery.
The
KKE (CPG) does not want to move in that direction. It had a loss of
35.000 votes since January and this is indicative of its weakness to
promote a truly militant way for the working masses especially now
that the governmental “Left” has opened its cards.
Also
the new “Popular Unity” party (that has separated from SYRIZA
recently) could not convince as having a different political
approach. It has failed completely to present itself as the genuine
expression of the “No” in the recent referendum.
7.
We have in front of us a very difficult period. The third memorandum
“must” be implemented along with the antipopular measures of the
first two memorandums.
The
electoral Coalition of the CPG (m-l) and M-L CPG tried to show that
we must not succumb to parliamentary illusions and bourgeois
electoral views. Instead we tried to show that the way out for the
people and the working masses lies in the direction of resistance and
struggle against imperialist dependence and capitalist aggression. We
participated in the express-elections with all our forces and with
resolution. A positive sign is that despite the widespread abstention
and the unfavorable conditions we managed to increase our votes
compared to January.
Anyway
our tasks ahead are great. These tasks are immediate and concern our
lives and the future of the people and the working class. The
election results show that these tasks will also be very difficult.
