The system murders! Let’s turn our rage into an essential political answer!

by Vassilis Samaras *Secretary of KKE(m-l)*

The responsibilities of the Left
The answer to the question remains on the Left again, although it cannot be given immediately. However the Left – at lest theoretically – could move towards the direction of forming the conditions and gradually becoming
capable of providing answers. Only, in this case things aren’t optimist at all, at least in regards with the Left we know.
Undoubtedly, CPG [KKE] is the strongest and more organized among these  forces. The problem is that the KKE leadership is not willing to undertake such a role, but essentially it has resigned every actual intervention in the development. They dig themselves in a stance of self-preservation, hoping and wishing that more favorable conditions will come for it. And their only concern is not to be surpassed by (a party with euro-communism features) SYN-SYRIZA (Coalition of Radical Left – coalition between SYN and radical left organizations). In vain. What is coming requires real exercise of real politics and no “fortification” can work. Regarding SYN-SYRIZA and in contrast with KKE, it is being activated, is
involved, exercises politics and seems to seek a way out. The problem is they seek the way out within the system, in collaboration with forces of the system and for the system. Everything else is included and served this logic and this direction. There are also other forces that in these conditions seem not to understand the real given facts. They have declared revolution and are preparing for … communism. We won’t be surprised if they “land” on the great goal of ”euro-elections” very soon.
We will also say a few things in regards with anarchism-autonomy. The movement that erupted had the strong support and solidarity of the great majority of the Greek people. We could add that the perspective of the movement can seek only this connection to find a support basis.
Nevertheless, actions that block this support or even turn a part of the people against the movement provide arguments to the system and undermine the perspective of the movement. Regarding the forces of the Left that are characterized by coherence and a correct political concept and direction, these for the time being, have
limited range and capacity to determine the course of the struggle. The perspective of the situation and our tasks

Although things don’t seem so optimistic there is also another aspect, the basic one.
It is the “change” taking place not today but for quite some time. It is the fact that for years the people have started understanding the nature and the goals of the system for the future. It is the fact that a whole generation
of young workers and students has been released from the influence of the system and turns against it. At the same time they refuse to accept the logic of a conciliatory Left. There is no doubt that there are shortcomings
and weaknesses due to the kind of t he Left that has existed for decades. But the main element is that here lie the seeds of the future. In these conditions the fighters will emerge and rise and within the struggle they
will realize their role and responsibilities and they will lead the movement. In regards with the role of the existent political subjects of the Left, the ones who understand, want and can, that is to contribute decisively in the development of this process and towards this direction. What takes place these days is a movement of anger, condemnation and denouncement of a policy that arms killers. The necessity and capacity to go further requires some basic preconditions. Whether this movement will be able to link with the people and youth on the
ground of the specific problems they already face. The question is if this movement will be able to link with these problems, with the resistances that exist and the many more resistances that should develop. The question is whether these efforts will manage to orientate towards a whole Front of Resistance and struggle against the assault the people and youth face, against a system that kills, against capital, against imperialism. It won’t
be easy, particularly due to the existing conditions. However, the better we understand what is really taking place, the more decisively we can move towards such a direction with the confidence that this direction is correct. The more correctly and decisively we move, the more we will develop the conditions for what is coming. Since the most serious things are yet to come.

There is no doubt any more! State agents, agents provocateurs and fascist
gangs, repression mechanisms, domestic and foreign centres are targeting the
people and more particularly the youth.
The new criminal action against a high school student, who was shot last
night, outside his school in Peristeri (Athens' suburbia), is another
indication of the escalating intimidation of the youth and the working
people. It is obvious that reactionaries want to subjugate them by any
means.
The outburst of people's anger, the youth's national uprising that shakes up
the whole country for the last two weeks, has alarmed the whole
establishment. Using either intimidation or promises, the government and
its collaborators have created a particularly reactionary milieu where
fascist criminal activities take place. Side by side, state police,
undercover agents and fascist gangs have undertaken the task to impose
"order" and "peace".

No more killings!

No riot forces nearby rallies and demonstrations!

Let's continue to protest in the streets even more massively, more
organized, more decisively!

Let's strengthen our struggle for the overthrow of that policy of
indignation, unemployment and repression!

Through mass mobilizations, protests, demonstrations, strikes, let's cut the
hand, no matter form where it is armed, that wants to kill the dreams and
the aspirations of the people and the youth!

*WE HAVE MANY REASONS TO CONTINUE UPRISING!*

*WE WILL NOT SUBMIT!*

*THE CULPRITS OF THE NEW MURDER ATTEMPT MUST BE FOUND AND PUNISHED! *
