(Also, the victory of the reformists equals to the strengthening of the Nazis). As for my personal condition due to the crisis, I still hold up relatively well. It has struck me, but I can live, just not as well as in the past. (i.e. the majority, including myself, cannot afford heating because oil prices went sky high)
a transitionary programme to socialism, in which we would answer the needs of the working class through the cancellation of the memorandums, open conflict with the European and Greek capitalism, etc. Last autumn, the programme of L.P. was voted by 25% of the party's members. In July we had 30% of the vote. Now, why do we keep fighting within SYRIZA? Because, SYRIZA, a radical-left party, has managed to win the trust of the working class. Not KKE, nor ANTARSYA. This happened because it supported the popular will for the unity of the Left. SYRIZA is first in polls about future governance, yet Tsipras is not that popular (mainly because of the conservative turn to attract PASOK voters). SYRIZA will most likely be tomorrow's government, so we either join SYRIZA and push it to the left, or we stay out of it and keep criticising it, leaving it to the conservative social-democrats.
Hi comrade. It is true that the reformists are currently the majority in SYRIZA. In SYRIZA's 1st congress, they tried to enlarge the role of the president while attacking the organisations within the party. Many of them chose their disbandment, while others (including mine) chose to oppose this position. Generally, Being within SYRIZA opens us possibilities of agitation of a much larger mass. We currently have 2 members of our organization in the Parliament. I consider it a great advantage over the small isolated organisation. The truth is that is quite hard to oppose the reformists, as we are a relatively small organisation. We make use of the united-front tactic, and this has earned us much. First, we united with the radical wing of SYN (the "Left Current") forming a coalition of sorts called "Left Platform". The political minimum of this coalition is anti-capitalism, and the defense of SYRIZA's former programme among other things:
Hey Comrade. I read you are organized within SYRIZA? My admitedly rather ignorant position is that the Communists like you which are organized within the party have failed to politically beat the reformists within the party. And now that the reformist leadership seems to be strengthening its position over the party rank and file with the club of 'We have to get the party ready to govern' I wonder how much it is worth platforming in this party. It seems the energies of the few honest socialists like you, which platform in SYRIZA, could be used much more in independent agitation for a proper revolutionary Party program. I don't know how active you are, but I recommend to you that you try to gain sympathizers from your organization for publishing some kind of weekly around building a common program for left unity. Btw., how goes it personally with the crisis and all?
