@PageauJonathan The judgement of Paris

Making a new illustration for an upcoming surpise tier for Snow White. Who can guess what is represented?

@CPGBML Trotskyite jibber-jabber

On May 1st 2023, Dimitris Koutsoumpas, General Secretary of the Greek Communists (KKE), gave an interview to national TV (MEGA channel), in which he equated Russia’s anti-Nato, anti-fascist Special Military Operation in Ukraine with Nato’s attack on Yugoslavia in 1999. Koutsoumpas accepts that Zelensky continued the civil war sparked by the 2014 Euromaidan coup, sending neo-nazi battalions to kill the Russian-speaking peoples in the East of Ukraine, but he does not accept this as a basis for Russian intervention. Why? Because it is "the same argument that Nato and the USA used in Yugoslavia". This completely ignores the fact that Russia is not an imperialist nation, by the Leninist definition, and is in fact a direct target of US/Nato imperialism. This criticism entirely ignores the reality of who is fighting who, and why. It is this same Nato/US imperialism that was behind the coup in Ukraine, and which has been arming the US puppet government, with the express purpose of attacking and destabilising Russia. There is no denying that Ukraine is a proxy war, an aggressive war being initiated and waged by Nato, against Russia. The «theoreticians» of the KKE, however, have discarded dialectical materialism in favour of abstract idealism. Koutsoumpas believes it would be "ideal" if the people of Ukraine overthrew Zelensky, and "ideal" if the people of Russia overthrew Putin. Why stop there though, if we are dealing in ideals? "Ideally" the bourgeoisie of all nations would relinquish their monopoly on wealth to the workers, and all states would be dismantled in favour of working-class democratic organisations! There would be peace on Earth and we could solve all the problems that humanity faces! "Ideally", Koutsoumpas says, "people" in Russia and "people" in Ukraine should overthrow their respective governments. Which people specifically? Which organisations are ready to lead the charge? Where are the mass protests and uprisings? They exist only in Koutsoumpas' mind. Moving back to reality, we see that this conflict is indeed a proxy war, between an array of imperialist NATO powers on the one hand, and Russia (a non-imperialist country), on the other. It is in the interests of the working class of all nations, therefore, to support Russia (yes, capitalist russia!) in defending itself from the imperialist onslught and to defeat the fascist Ukrainian coup regime. With "revolutionary"-sounding phrases the General Secretary of the KKE obscure the real class nature of the Ukraine-Russia conflict (NATO's attack on Russia) and encourages viewers to take the harmful Trotskyite position of "neither Kiev nor Moscow".

@CPGBML The KKE has completed a full historical circle by adopting the same trotskyite positions that had back in the early 1920s. Their position regarding Ukraine unfortunately is just the last straw in a series of deeply revisionist and trotskyite positions throughout the past 30 years

The KKE have justified the war fought by Ukrainian Fascism, backed by NATO, in its proxy war against Russia, as being a “Just war”. In fact the Banderite Fascists hijacked the Ukrainian state in the 2014 NATO “Maidan” coup - they have no legitimacy. The ultra-nationalists have wrecked their country, which as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic had a mighty industrial and technological base, a proud and pluralistic proletarian culture, and a thriving population of 55 million, but now is reduced to a semi-colonial backwater and has a population of just 18 million. These CIA agents are waging an illegal, brutal, inhuman and unjust proxy war of Aggression against Russia, on behalf of monopoly capital. It is moreover a civil war of ethnic cleansing waged on the grounds of “racial supremacy” over “the Russian orcs”. Even Josep Borell, EU foreign policy chief, has explicitly stated that the Ukrainian state “would collapse immediately without EU and NATO support”. This video is an extract from a live stream of KKE's regional committee event on the island of Corfu, on Tuesday 22 March 2022. The speaker is Aleka Papariga who served the Communist Party of Greece as its general secretary from 1991 to 2013. She was leader of the KKE parliamentary group until 2015 and a member of the Greek parliament until 22 April 2023. If these are the self-proclaimed “leaders” of the international communist movement, it is little wonder we have seen the decline and collapse of Marxist leadership of the proletarian struggle.

@RedGalanoleukos @AyatollahMarx @AlvaroSilva1906 What flag did the EAM or DSE use in the 40s? Wasn't it our galanolefki? Wasn't it the same flag used by Metaxas, the rightists, the junta, and pretty much everyone in Greece? There are national symbols that people identify with that obviously predate 1917. Nothing wrong with it.

@AvgerinosMoscow Το ΚΚΕ έχει υιοθετήσει επί της ουσίας τροτσκιστικές θέσεις. Σαν να έκλεισε έναν κύκλο 100 χρόνων και να επανήλθε στη δεκαετία του 1920 όπου σημαντικό κομμάτι της τότε καθοδήγησης ήταν ανοιχτά τροτσκιστές, με τις γνωστές θέσεις στα εθνικά θέματα (Μακεδονία, Μικρασία κτλ).

Δυνατό το σύνθημα "μόνο ο λαός σώζει το λαό". Μόνο που στο Ουκρανικό ο λαός (και του ΚΚΕ) αποδείχθηκε να έχει πολύ μεγαλύτερη σοφία & δεν κατάφερε να σώσει την ηγεσία του από την επικίνδυνη διολίσθηση. Ενδιαφέρον άρθρο για έναν διάλογο που (θα) συνεχίζεται thepressproject.gr/kke-kai-iberia…

@Amandah20604859 @oulosP Have a great Lent!

@kostiskyr @oulosP Interesting, fair point. Okay i was wrong

Some comments to the video are vitriolic * Greeks are mostly Christian Orthodox (inc. Old Calendarist). * We have polytheists. * We're Muslim in Thrace & Anatolia. * We're Catholic in Southern Italy/Sicily. * We're also atheists. I love all Hellenes, regardless of religion.

@Amandah20604859 @oulosP That is the point tho. To look ridiculous, naughty, and rebellious, once per year, before submerging into the period of utmost humility. It only sounds weird because modern culture has turned what is meant for the carnival into everyday practice (hypersexuality, transvestite etc)

@kostiskyr @oulosP Okay maybe im wrong, still looks ridiculous.

@Amandah20604859 @oulosP Yeah, the Carnival is for everyone to dance and mess around, even in ways that are "prohibited" throughout the year, before a period of strict fast and humility, i.e. Lent. It is not about worshipping the pre-Christian deities.

@kostiskyr @oulosP This is hardly a look into the Ancient ways of worshipping the Ancient Greek Gods, its middle aged women dancing around.

@Raja_Sasamka @oulosP Great! I am happy that Orthodoxy spreads all over the world. The problem is the pseudo-moralism and pseudo-pietism that attack the local traditions and are remnants/influence of Puritanism and Calvinism, and seem to plague many western converts as well as some westernised Greeks.

@kostiskyr @oulosP Not just American ones, you got some from my country too. But luckily seems he has moved to US. twitter.com/OrthoxtianJman…

@Amandah20604859 @oulosP Christians celebrate Carnival, even with its most "extreme", "shocking", "dionysian" elements which are the phallic symbols or the scoptic songs, since at least the Byzantine times. You talk about pre-Byzantine, pagan Roman times.

@kostiskyr @oulosP Riiiight Kostis so walking around with a dildo was apart of mainstream christian culture. Yesss thats exactly was the Christians did to mark great lent while hiding in the catacombs from the pagans that were killing them. (Im being sarcastic btw)

@AngelosThemelis @oulosP What source😂? Aren't you Greek? Do you need sources for things that are part of our culture since time immemorial?

@kostiskyr @oulosP "mainstream Christian culture" ? Do you have some legimate sources to support your invention?

@OrthoxtianJman @oulosP It absolutely has a place. The average Greek, i.e. Orthodox, will take part in such festivities today, and tomorrow on Clean Monday with absolute humility and piety will go to the vespers in Church, and fast for 40 days. Nothing contradictory about it.

@ancientorigins Real, but the story represents a larger historical process, i.e. the first wave of the colonization of Asia Minor by the Greeks.

Do you think the Trojan War was real or just a myth?

@eaunina1 @oulosP Are you implying that Asia Minor Greeks weren't Greeks?

How does one “liberate” a city from the indigenous population?

@TheNewDonbass There seems to be a real competition between Estonia and Latvia for winning the 2023 Eurovision Contest.
