“We are here, in Paris, to culminate the rich program of tributes, events, publications and other activities, with which our Party honors the heroic Paris Commune, in the 150 years since the first invasion of the working class in the dream!
We are here, we walked in the footsteps of the Commune and drawing strength and knowledge from its teachings, we continue the beautiful but difficult struggle. To find dreams justified.
In order for the working class to be able to complete what the Communards started, what the Bolsheviks continued almost half a century later, what is even more necessary and relevant today than ever: Building a society free from the shackles of capital and its power. We are here, because, as the Communist poet of the International, Eugenios Potier, wrote, “the Commune always lives”! ” stressed the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, in his speech today in Paris about the Paris Commune.
He stressed that the KKE does not honor “simply the great struggle of the Paris Communards as a historical event, but as a source of knowledge and inspiration for current and future struggles and as a source of important lessons.”
D. Koutsoubas said that “despite the huge -historically temporary- setback we experienced with the submission of the Red Flag, finally, by the Kremlin, with the overthrow of socialism that made its first attempt to build, the people have not yet said their last word “.
He spoke in support of the US Alliance, but said that maintaining some independence was not the answer. has the effort to reorganize the labor movement and promote the social alliance “noting that this” non-linear “course” is a daily battle that has its ups and downs “.
He stated that one of the great lessons of the Commune “is that it is not enough for the working class to simply occupy the” ready state capitalist machine “, but to fundamentally restructure it, to crush all its old rotten structures.”
He added that this very important conclusion “was confirmed by the victorious outcome of the October Revolution, as well as the other socialist revolutions in the 20th century” but also by the “negative experience of the consequences for the workers’ and people’s movement, when this victorious strategy for the overthrow of bourgeois power, ceased to be – in many cases during the 20th and 21st century – the stable compass of the International Communist Movement “.
As many Communists explained, they formed a strategically important conception of the possibility of transition to socialism “through individual reforms to be carried out by a coalition government of communists, socialists, social democrats and even some liberal bourgeois parties.”
“This is a strategic concept that has not been confirmed anywhere, in any country.
“Where it was implemented, it led to the integration of the workers’ and people’s movement and to the alteration of the revolutionary character of the Communist Parties that participated in bourgeois governments, resulting in their final transformation,” he stressed.
“This experience is very important for today, where the social democratic and opportunistic proposal returns to our country, that there can supposedly be a ‘progressive’ government in the territory of capitalism, which will give a pro-people solution to the great popular problems,” he said. D. Koutsoumbas and underlined the “responsible attitude of the KKE to deny the participation, support or tolerance in the bourgeois-anti-popular government of the so-called” first time left “. An attitude that is a timeless legacy for the labor-popular movement and its evolution “.
“We continue with clarity and consistency to insist that the only condition for the KKE to be in government is for the people themselves, the working class in power, with social ownership of the means of production, central scientific planning, to begin construction. of the new society, of socialism. “There is no other solution, no other way out,” stressed D. Koutsoubas.
“This corrupt capitalist system is only being overthrown. He does not humanize himself with words about “progress and democracy”, invoking “progressive governance”, with some actions and actions from the positions of governmental bourgeois power.
Because, the bourgeois system itself, thus, sets its limits for you and determines your limits.
The system can and must change, only from the positions of the intensification of the class struggle, the antitrust – anti – capitalist workers’ – popular struggle and the alliance of the social forces that have an interest in this development, that have an interest in the new society “, he added .
Citing the experience of the October Revolution, he stressed the importance of having a Communist Party “with an elaborate revolutionary strategy and program that ensures the creative development of revolutionary theory, always based on its fundamental principles”, a term “to ensure the political independence of its struggle”. working class, the avoidance of being trapped in the dilemmas and aims of the bourgeoisie or of being influenced by petty bourgeois theories and the forces that express them “, mainly” with targeted and focused action to overthrow bourgeois power “.
He said that either “with the calls of the ND government and other bourgeois parties for” national solidarity “, or with the” various voices of social democracy, SYRIZA and KINAL, which rekindle thousands of promises for a supposedly more popular management of capitalism ” “The multifaceted integration of the labor-popular movement in the aims of the ruling class”.
“The KKE’s call for rallies in the current conditions is of particular importance and can find a significant impact on Greeks living abroad,” said D. Koutsoumbas, because “here, as well as in Greece and its other countries. “EU, the immediate issue is the reorganization of the labor movement in an anti-capitalist direction, in order to strengthen the determination, the assertion, the struggle for the society that we need to live as we deserve.”
“In our difficult struggle, the workers of Greece have the support of their fellow workers from all over Europe, from all over the world.
Greek immigrants, workers, scientists, students, both in France and in other European countries, are part, part, of the popular movement of our country, as well as the countries where they live.
They will intensify their struggle to strengthen the communist movement, the KK, to strengthen the KKE everywhere.
“In the struggle united, let no one be missing…” In the struggle for a society worthy of the possibilities and needs of our time. A society that will be commanded by those who produce wealth and not by those who reap the results of the toil of the hands and the minds of many.
To intensify the struggle for a truly hopeful way out for today and tomorrow.
For the uprisings of our future, socialism! Proletarians of all countries unite!
Long live the Commune! Long live the KKE! ” The Secretary General of the KKE Central Committee concluded his speech.
