Greetings from Greece!

[Apostolo]

Hello comrades!

My name is Georgios and i am from Greece as you saw!

I hope to have a good living here!

[Positivist]

Welcome comrade! The situation in Greece is certainly an appalling one, I look forward to your insight on the issues!
Now, do you mean to say that you hope you have a good living on this site, or have you recently immigrated from Greece?

[Apostolo]

Hi friend! Yeah, ask whatever you want or give me the link of the appropriate topic!

Oh, i am sorry, my english are not perfect. I mean the first one about the site!

I see that you are from the us. How many communists are there in the USA? I strongly believe that even the whole world was socialist, the US still would be capitalist. :)

[MustCrushCapitalism]

Welcome, comrade. Greece, right now, is one of the crucial areas for the revolutionary left to gain support with the current crisis, and even more so with the growing popularity of fascism in Golden Dawn. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions on these issues.

Any specific tendency leaning, organization?

Hello comrade.

The situation here as you know is very-very bad. The rate of unemployment is about 25% and now the governemt takes measures of 11.5 billions. So the rate of unemployment will rise up. My father and my brother don't work since they are fired. The most populus party now is SYRIZA, but as the time goes it is becoming an urban party, i don't consider it a revolutionary one and despite i vote for them i wont do it in the next voting.

Golden dawn is a big problem. The last poll gave them 12%. Before the voting, polls gave them 3% and they went to 7% so it may be ever higher. They are real nazis, unfortunately people look for something radical and extreme and they think that these fascists is the solution. I hope not to gain more popularity.

Well, i have much to read, but i would declare myself as a clear marxist-leninist, no revisionism!

Your English is fine, don't worry about it we should be able to work it out! And yes, as that scenario implies, America is quite the reactionary country. I am very discouraged by the lack of progressive sentiment amongst my peers here in America, but I suppose you have to play the cards your dealt! To answer, your question, there are very few communists in America, but a growing amount sympathize with socialism (people here draw a distinction between the two.)

Αs i know you have to vote between democrats and republicans? Isn't it a bad system? I mean...what's the difference? As i know too, the only difference is that the republicans are more conservative. What about other ideologies and parties? Can't they take part in elections?

Greetings comrade, I like your dp of Nikos Beloyannis!

[Apostolo]

Greetings comrade, I like your dp of Nikos Beloyannis!

You too my friend with the photo of Aris Velouhiotis! Are you maybe Greek?

[Sir Comradical]

No I'm Indian. I have a very good friend whose grandfather fought with Aris. The stories he told me compelled me to learn more about the Greek resistance and the Civil War. I also like many of the Greek communist songs.

[ВАЛТЕР]

Welcome to the forum! We can sure use your insight on the situation in Greece. :D

Γεια χαρά σύντροφε! Hello and have a great time

[Apostolo]

Oh, i would never believed that there is a guy from India who admires Velouhiotis, Belogiannis etc. Great!


Welcome to the forum! We can sure use your insight on the situation in Greece. :D

Thank you friend! Of course i will be writing my insight about the situation here.

[Apostolo]

Γεια χαρά σύντροφε! Hello and have a great time

Γεια σου και εσένα σύντροφε, ευχαριστώ για το καλωσόρισμα.

Hi to you comrade, thanks for welcome!

[Sir Comradical]

Attention Greeks. What is the name of the song being sung by the lady at 0:54?

It has a nice tune to it.

[Apostolo]

I dont know it, i googled the lyrics and nothing!

[Sir Comradical]

It's a nice tune though...

[Philosophos]

I haven't found the song either sorry

Welcome, comrade.

Well, only those two parties dominate, since elections and politics here are all about money. But both parties are barely distinguishable to be honest. Democrats are conservative, the Republicans nowadays are bordering on Fascism. Hate em' all.

[Questionable]

It's always good to see non-revisionists in countries facing a revolutionary situation. Welcome.

[Mr. Natural]

Welcome! You're off to a great start, and your English works fine. I'm looking forward to learning more about the situation in Greece.
