Greece: Failure of the left gives confidence to the far right

[Coggeh]

This isn't an article lol.

Though in Greece in seems from an outside perspective that the left are in a good position to challenge capitalism with parties such as the KKE and Syriza. However with sectarianism of the KKE such as writing off the protests in 2008 as petit bourgeois and Syriza's right-wing leadership jeopardizing the movement as a whole it looks like the Greek anti-EU feelings (especially with the austerity measures being passed) will feed the support of LAOS: a far right fascist party .

Syriza and KKE not only to blame , Anarchist movements have been reduced to nhilism i recent times instead of trying to organise the movements of discontent after the shooting of the teen by police into a mass movement of students they called for riots instead of real action such as university occupations which were already taking place.

I think that these failures combined have given the fascists a chance layed out on a sliver platter to turn this discontent into votes and members .

What do other people think?

Well, first of all, what makes you think that anything you're saying here is true?

LAOS isn't fascist, 2008 wasn't a workers revolution and Trotskyists don't get to lecture people on effectiveness.

The sectarian KKE called a strike on the 10th. The greek section of CWI flirts with the "rightist leadership" (because all their base is made up from revolutionary workers) of Syriza and will hold a different rally. And that's only if the unions where Syriza has a voice go on strike. In many cases, like in the doctors' federation, they voted against.

Anti-EU feelings have no reason to feed LAOS as it welcomes european big capital and the austerity measures announced.


Finally, yes, lots of things could happen and making them happen depends on "us". Which is why it has been weeks that people, right after ending with their jobs, don't go back to their homes to have a needed rest, but instead try to make everyone aware of the urgency to react in a decisive manner.
You're free to come and help too, because, frankly, some people have learnt to live like marathon runners and it's not nice.

The reasons that LAOS have managed to become the forth biggest party of greece with 5% from nowhere are not that simple.First of all,during the day there are always members of laos in tv programmes,from the early morning to the gossip life style programmes!Also we shouldn't forget the disgusting role of pasok the social democratic party of greece
