Koutsoubas: Only the people save the people

by

D. Koutsoubas emphasized, among other things, that the KKE’s differences with the other parties are not only ideological-political but also value-based and this can be seen in the way they deal with the youth.

“Only the people can save the people on the road to overthrow with a strong KKE” said the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE Dimitris Koutsoumbas speaking on Saturday at the 13th Conference of the Central Committee of the KNE which started on Friday afternoon at the headquarters of the Central Committee of the KKE in Perissos under the motto: “We are the spark that will turn darkness into light! With the power of revolutionary ideas. For socialism. We dare the big step in the future, with the KKE. KNE Strong Everywhere”.

D. Koutsoubas emphasized, among other things, that the KKE’s differences with the other parties are not only ideological-political but also value-based and this can be seen in the way they deal with the youth.

As he explained, all the parties in the system treat the young men and women “as spectators, unable to understand exactly what is happening and much more to intervene, they see the young people as “guys”.

He then emphasized that unlike all of them, the KKE considers the young men and women “very capable of thinking, discussing collectively, organizing, fighting, voting based on their real interest, until tomorrow they exercise power themselves and production control”.

“Our difference with the other parties is chaotic, so with our hand on our heart and with the courage we have gained from our daily joint action with hundreds of thousands of young people, we look them in the eyes and say to them that “saviors from above” for their problems do not exist, “political messiahs” do not exist. Everything we have achieved so far we did with our struggles and our active action, not from the couch and the sidelines,” he said and specifically referred to the struggles and conquests of workers and young people.

He noted, in another part of his speech, among other things, that the vote of young people in the KKE “can change the climate, they can feel and be themselves stronger and with a much stronger KKE they can make any tomorrow tremble anti-people government” and added that “that’s why in these elections the slogan is: Alone and all of us with a much stronger KKE”.

D. Koutsoumbas said that if “once it took half a lifetime” for someone to find out from his own experience that any hope for a more humane management of capitalism leads only to wasted time with loss of rights and conquests, to disappointment and retreat of the movement, today less time is enough”.

As he mentioned, then, even young people based on their experience can determine that “each government is worse than the previous one because capitalism becomes more aggressive, more reactionary as it rots and is not overthrown.”

He said that “the people expelled unpopular governments but did not get rid of those in power.”

He noted that ND, SYRIZA, PASOK “have a common strategy, common goals, despite individual differences”, and that “they have commitments towards the Recovery Fund, business groups, NATO and the EU”.

The KKE, he emphasized, “will not tolerate any anti-people government, whatever color it has, however it is baptized”.

He underlined that “the KKE has a program of people’s power, of overthrowing the system of the dictatorship of the monopolies, it aims to lead the working people’s majority to real power”.

“This is how we talk, purely with simple, honest people. To something else the henchmen of the bosses, the Americans, the memos, the capitalist rot who have the audacity to call us “stuck” because he says “we wait for the people to come in 2500 years” instead of supporting them to sit back in their dirty chairs and to continue the work of the predecessors, of Mitsotakis, we answer them differently: the road to great upheavals is always opened by some “stuck”, by the irreconcilable” emphasized D. Koutsoubas, commenting on what SYRIZA officials said.
