Enormous KKE gathering in Athens
+ YouTube Video
KKE leads to the elections with by far the biggest demo of all the parties! People chose to dismiss the "antimnemonioum" capitalist solutions, all these parties that promised them the days before the crisis simply with a vote in Sunday's election and gave their support to the party that promised them the road with sacrifises, the road to People's Power, the road to socialism!
Of course there is no illusion that the elections in Sunday are going to make the passage to socialism, nor even that KKE is going to be no1, but the fact that KKE manages to gather more people than every party that is going to be above it on the elections, shows how deeply rooted KKE is to the greek working class. KKE produces militants, not voters.No matter what the elections might show, KKE has showed its power.
I read KKK.Wasn't expecting red flags.
Is this resistance or a costume party?
Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

PAME gathering for Mayday, outside of the factory of Elliniki Halivourgia, in the town of Elefsina, yesterday. Everyday, communists are on the streets, giving every struggle they can. Viva la revolucion!
Was this a May 1st gathering (as well as that PAME one you posted) If so, that's good. Some of the few sources here tried to push that only 3,000 or so even showed up for demonstrations that day and were trying to use that as evidence of anxiety with unions and such.
Sorry to interupt the insults but I just want to say: That's a nice demo you got there. I am not a fan of the KKE, but I rather have the KKE than Golden Dawn. If people support the KKE at least we know that they as people are on our side ideologically. Now sure some of their actions are questionable and that also goes for some of their tactics.
But what such a demo shows is that the left is still very much alive. Whether they chose to wave the red flag or the black flag is not even relevant. The point is people are willing to wave that red flag. Communism suffers from a bad image, but if people in large numbers go out on the street and wave red flags then it becomes relevant again and it shows that communism is not dead and maybe people will consider it again and get past that bad image.

verbalwarning all around, keep this ontopic, if anyone want to start another shit on the KKE leadership thread by all means do so and ill gladly participate but do not piss on the parade of the workers, all off topic shit trashed

But the problem is, that it is precisely when the masses are in motion that the question of who leads is most acute. It is not "shitting" on the KKE to criticize their earlier moves. It's great that there is a lot of militant anger at the bourgeoisie and that people are taking to the streets. But that will never be enough to make a revolution. Having been brought up in a political environment where polemics are simply the way things are discussed, I find some people on this forum to be rather thin-skinned.
This is from May Day and its not the whole. There another photo that shows the other side.
From the rally of KKE yesterday.

Long Live the Communist Party of Greece!! The Greek Communists and PAME workers are inspiring the world.
The banner says: emancipation! no to the dillemas and the new illusions(call me SYRIZA
powerfull KKE
If we scew up our eyes and wish really hard, maybe it will be 1928 again.
What's so special about 1928?
While it is good to see the workers flock to what they perceive to be a revolutionary organization, I have to question whether the KKE would find itself on the right side of the barricade at the decisive moment. They seem to have a tendency towards coalitionism and other forms of class collaboration.
Not a single black flag in sight.
if KKE goes to power do you think it will be any different, (the communist party of many countries is social-democratic) I think it will be more or less the same (politicaly).
and the social-democratic parties in most countries are... neoliberal.
Until now, the left has only managed capital in various ways; the point, however, is to destroy it.
lets just say quoting the historic constitution of athens has never been more apt:
