ANTICOMMUNISM IN POLAND

The CC of the Communist Youth of Greece strongly condemns the new anti-communist evolutions in Poland. The Polish government, immersed in the anti-communist spirit that develops under the wing of the EU, banned the use of the historical symbols of the international communist movement. After the unacceptable fiestas that the European imperialists organized on the anniversary of the 20 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall, it is demonstrated again that their announcements on “democracy” and “freedom” are not only empty words but also the cover of the monopolies dictatorship.

After the Baltic countries, Hungary and the Czech Republic now it is turn for another country-member of the EU to ban the sickle and hammer and the red star, that symbolize the struggle against capitalist exploitation. They utilize all the means that their system of power provides, the European Parliament, the Organization for Security and Collaboration of Europe, the National Courts and Ministries, to launch a war of strain against the communists, the vanguard of the working class in each country.

Once again it is proved that anticommunism has one goal: to push the communists, Communist Parties and Youth Organizations, in changing their goal, the overthrow of capitalism and the perspective of Socialism, as the only response to the growing needs of the peoples today. Their objective is, especially in the former socialist countries, to uproot the successes of socialism by every means from the consciousness of the peoples. They want to make the peoples forget the sacrifice of millions of communists in the war against nazism-fascism, in the routing of fascism in the 2nd World War. They want us to forget the achievements that the workers had, with the communists as their vanguard, in every aspect of their lives; the working day of 8 hours, free education and healthcare, social security, and all the other achievements, due to the international impact of Socialism in the USSR and the other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Achievements that today are taken back one after the other by the anti-popular politics that serve the profits of the monopoly enterprises in a desperate need to overcome the capitalist crisis.

We remain committed to the struggle for socialism-communism, as it is the only system where the working class and the peoples of the world can fulfill their needs, where all the nations and countries can live peacefully and in collaboration.

Especially nowadays the international economic crisis of capitalism reveals the historic limits of this socio-economic system and the magnitude of its decay. It reveals the necessity of the revolutionary overcome of capitalism, and its replacement by another socio-economic system that will have the needs and rights of the peoples in its epicenter; namely, socialism-communism.

KNE calls on to the Greek youth, to mobilize and demand the immediate canceling of all the anti-communist and anti-socialist laws and regulations that have been taken in Poland and in all the countries of the EU.

KNE expresses its solidarity with the Communist Youth of Poland and with all Polish communists and affirms that will strengthen the struggle against anti-communism and the slandering and distortion of socialism, to reinforce our anti-imperialist struggle and the international cooperation between the communist and progressive anti-imperialist youth organizations, in order to respond to the new imperialist aggression against the working class and the youth
