Everything is played now.

 

Dear Westerners, Arab Syrians, Iranians and Kurdish friends, listen carefully to what I have to say.

If this garbage, Erdogan, which is not the only Turkish garbage on earth, succeeds in achieving his goals, which are violent occupation of Greek land, foreign to Turkey, mass murders, mass deportations of indigenous Greek populations, masses rapes. etc., this means some things, both for the past and for the future.

First, the West will have once again shown its helplessness, its reluctance, its moral rot when it has to help a true ally.

Greece will then have the right to become an explosively anti-Western country.

It is not going to be possible for a Western official or citizen to walk on Greek soil safely and carefree after such a possible event.

Second, all the strategic divergences supported by all the right, center-left and left-wing anti-western forces (mainly from the left-wing forces) will be retrospectively justified.

Even the center-left nationalist Andreas Papandreou with his heterogeneous alliances will be vindicated, such as with Gaddafi, Assad, the PKK, PLO-Fatah, etc.

Everything is played now.

The "given as pro-Western" Greece after the first shock will become a furnace of anti-Western uprising, in all ideological directions.

The deceivered who was the most naive always turns into your worst enemy.

What happened in Greece in 2015..

 

What happened in Greece in 2015, with the fake referendum of Syriza's political adventurers?

The dilemma "drachma or euro" was not played, but the dilemma "russian-drachma /or/ dollar-drachma or euro".

The ridiculous New Left gamblers along with the pro-Russian Kammenos gang (co-ruled) thought they might be able to sideline European capitalism by either using the US or Russia or using US-Russia at the same time, with the fearing of the drachma.

I emphasize that the (relatively) rational request for a possible return of Greece to a national currency (drachma) was humiliated and completely canceled through these extreme adventurous uses by these cowardly swindlers.

At one point these bigoted incompetent amateurs thought they were great revolutionary gamblers, but were humiliated at the same time by both the US and Russia.

So the scenario "dollar-drachma or ruble-drachma" was canceled and they retreated with a humiliating compromise with the EU, which was not only a compromise but a large-scale submission and defeat.

These people, and their parties, insist that they still have to make politics, and in fact "leftist politics", while they should hide in some countryside, to write their ridiculous memoirs.

Προς ελληνικό κοινό, αριστερό/αναρχικό και (υγιώς ή παθολογικώς) «εθνικοπατριωτικό»:

Αν είναι να σαλπίσουμε έξοδο από Δύση και ΝΑΤΟ (αυτά γίνονται σε κρίσεις και καταστροφές, όχι κάθε μέρα), Όχι με Ρωσία.

Η Ρωσία (αλλά και η Κίνα) αποκλείεται εξαρχής, απόλυτα, αξιωματικά.

Με Ναζί ή μετα-νεο-σταλινικά ή σταλινοναζιστικά κόπρανα δεν βγαίνεις από τον δυτικό ιμπεριαλισμό.

Και να μας παρακαλάνε να μην τους δεχτούμε, και να μας ικετεύουν να τους κλείσουμε την πόρτα.

But this brilliant neo-leftist, Varoufakis, is also "pro-Russian"?

Neither he nor his old friend Tsipras has the courage to be openly "pro-Russian" and aware of the consequences of such an attitude.

These idiots, like many others similar in the Greek left (except for the openly pro-Russian Lafazanis and some other psychopaths), still think that they can play with all imperialisms, not with courage but as fearful players, not openly in favor of all peoples of the east, but using their slimly position to take '' from here or to there'' some "geopolitical" postponement of the revolutionary social duty to equip the people and to propose a steel popular defense.

Their adventurism, their opportunism, has the form and content of fantasy and cowardice, a utopian petty-bourgeois pacifism, based on pleas and capitalist agreements, which they expect to receive as a reward from all imperialist powers for their ''good services''.

Tsipras along with his slimy cork friend, Varoufakis, thought they could play the role of geopolitical and economic gambler, they licked USA, they licked Russia, and the only thing Clowns managed was to get slaps by all together the imperialists.

I don't know, you know.

Those who predetermine their tactical stance towards the main two (2) world imperialist poles, predetermine their defeat and the defeat of the movement they lead.
But is what I am saying opportunistic or adventurous?
I don't know, you know.
Ask the mummified texts of Lenin that you "read", but if you want look a little at his actions on this issue, and if you understand even a little, most, I am not who I seem to be, but I am the Caliph of Baghdad.

Comment, Jun 8th

In this long read Czech Antifa explain their perspective on the Ukrainian conflict, critique primarily Western logics surrounding much of the debate which has emerged, and address what they see as forms of colonial hangover which have hamstrung responses to Russian imperialism.

Points mediated by the Ukrainian, Iranian and the Middle East "field".

 

A brief and necessarily inadequate summary of another position of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) (Stalinist Commounists of Greece) on the Ukrainian issue (via the party newspaper "Rizospastis"), or:

a.

When you are confronted with two opposing ''diabolical'' world powers, the leftists call them "global imperialist / capitalist poles", you may think that you are already in the middle, in an oppressed but intermediate "space".

Do you think, then, that it is enough to exercise an active extension of this ontological position of yours in the "neutral middle".

I think that most anarchists and Marxists think that this is the case, so I think they think that it is enough to intensify a difficult but real ontological quality which actually means the "placement" of the social subjects whom want to represent in a burdensome but really real "intermediary" position within an ontological structure of the world classsociety.

But although every people, whatever that term means, generally (as a working majority) is "trapped" in intra-sovereign intracapitalist dipoles (imperialist dipoles are not limited to the states of the world), none of them "holds" a burdensome but really "intermediate" ontological class position, which would simply suffice to intensify, thus turning it into a revolutionary dynamic position of negative-positivetranscendence of all the dipoles that "surround" it (as an ontological class position).

Every people, or every working class, is in a cage that is structured in an asymmetric, unequal way, under unique conditions but also according to the specific position of each capitalist social formation (in which it is "integrated") in the world form of power. .

Thus the unequal and complex anisomeric development of world capitalism corresponds to an even greater complexity of the position of the subordinate classes.

But it is not only the national-state national-capitalist dimension of this heterogeneous position of the capitalists but also of the workers / petty bourgeoisie that determines the type and degree of the alienation and cage complexity of the position of the subordinate social classes.

The world hegemonic structure, as it is usually formed as a competing dipole, plays an active role in complexity of the cage of these subordinate classes.

Capitalism permeates and overdeterminate the subordinate social classes by constructing them as internal structural elements of the asymmetry of the world hegemonic system.

Everyday people do not integrate into the world hegemonic game exclusively in the "ideological" way, as if a falsification of their conscience was enough to accept their place in this alienation game.

The structural asymmetry of the wage labor system over-determinate them in an objective way, objectively.

b.

Otherwise is determinated our class position as subordinates peroples depending on whether we are at the core of a global imperialist pole, or whether we are at the geostrategic boundaries of that pole, or outside all poles (albeit in relation and interaction and dependence on one of them), differently is determinated our class position according to the special structural substance of the respective world hegemonic pole (if it is "finalstructured" like the wider western pole or if it is ''emerging'' like the new eastern pole).

c.

Our non-position in a metaphysical / ontological de facto neutral "intermediate" creates "against us" a number of problems in terms of our true unity, if we belong to the oppressed social classes,

since each working class separately according to the pole in which it is integrated must to face a really different opponent, as "own" opponent.

The "differentiation" that we see emerging as a problem of misunderstanding between movements operating elsewhere in the world, actually means (as a problem) the reflection of this different objective ''position of classwar'' within this already formed sovereign "world space".

The enemy of our enemy is objectively ''our friend'', but that means that we may ultimately have as ''friends'' the enemies of people who belong to the same world social class like us.

These ''our friends'' are their direct class enemies.

It is not an ideological problem, "alienation", but it is a problem of tactics, and tactic as we know it are already strategic dimension.

Let me get into the more subjective, therefore awkward, part of this post.

As I said, I believe that no objective-ontological "position" of the movements of the oppressed "places" them in a de facto neutral position towards all hegemony-imperialism, etc.

Being in the bowels of your immediate class enemy you objectively ally with the enemy of this enemy, even in the sense that you can take up arms from that enemy of your enemy.

But this enemy of your enemy, most of the time, is also an abysmal oppressor who has an another oppressed person in his bowels.

There is not a single Marxist, anarchist, democrat, who could prove to me that I am wrong.

Even the most careful ideologues of absolute class purity hide behind this false purity an easily identifiable one-sidedness that means one of their real alliances with an enemy of their enemy (that enemy, which is for them considered as the most immediate and formidable enemy).

This mere thought of the terrible situation, which is formally understood as "tactics", could lead you to complete detachment from any version of radical politics.

What conscious and morall person would want to be involved in such stories?

If radical politics is also a cynical, "dirty" affair, why waste one 's only life, to experience the same frustration one always feels when a love, an ideal, turns out to be "one of the same situations" ?

Returning to a strictly defined self-interested "self" is inevitable through such a fearless reflection of the situation.

People become frustrated, revert to a narrower understanding of things, and thus begin to care more about this individual, national, or other "self."

The subsequent invocations of those who remain in utopia, to restore the original "purity" sink into the void, and the only thing they may cause is a greater rage on the part of the deceived former (?) Radical.

My purpose is not to justify and applaud such a reflection, but to remain in the radical thought / action without providing any facilitation to the moralist and ideological concealment of our antinomies, as most radicals do, colliding with each other, in the middle, about who is the "cleaner" and "purer" person.

So let them accept that they are talking, as much as they want, with the dirtiest person of them all.

Critique of the pure radical theorem, on the part of historical rust and one-sidedness.

---

So what's the problem?

For me the problem is the conscious recognition and the clear theoretical acceptance that the varied and numerous radical movements are not only different, but may in addition have direct tactical contradictions and antinomies between them, but in the sense that the ''tactical'' is ''strategy'' and not just a subordinate "lower" part of it.

These contradictions arise from the divergence of popular and workers' interests in proportion to their "point" of residence in an ever-bipolar and fragmented hegemonic imperialist framework (world imperialist poles), which incorporates these special interests with its over-determination.

The opportunities presented, by reality itself, for overcoming this over-determination are rare, valuable and usually unknown to their subjective actors.

For example, while all movements, east and west, north and south, are obliged to follow the rule "alliance with the enemy of our enemy", the movement in Iran has a unique opportunity not to follow this ("geopolitical") rule, for objective structural reasons and not because the Iranian communists, democrats, leftists, etc. are better people (they are great guys anyway), but because that is how the objective structures ''around them'' "speak" to them.

Prologue

I set down, non-systematically, the storm of reality across its capitalist and state formations. 

This fragmentation is inevitable.

Amid all that “hits” us, Turkey’s leadership resurfaced with a veto threat to block Finland and Sweden’s NATO accession, leveraging it to seek concessions; the veto was later lifted after a trilateral understanding, but only after it had served as pressure. Reuters+1 The aim is to alter power balances shaped by Greece’s recent rearmament. I take no joy in rearmament; yet the question stands: why the push for regional pre-eminence over Greece? The pattern includes escalatory rhetoric and moves in the Aegean recorded in 2022. Reuters+1

This is not a nationalist brief. I remain critical of capitalism, Western capitalism, and NATO. What concerns me is the tolerance—within parts of the Greek and global Left—toward non-Western expansionist authoritarianism. Anti-imperialism should be universal and concrete, not reflexive and one-sided.

---

Point (1)
Greece’s transfer of legacy Soviet-type vehicles to Ukraine was portrayed by some as “turning the country into a Western outpost.” In practice this operated as a ringtausch: Germany provides Marder IFVs to Greece so Athens can pass on Soviet-pattern equipment to Kyiv. Reuters The real question: what counts as a coherent Left foreign policy for a small-to-medium state under immediate pressure from a revisionist neighbour? Inherited distrust of the “bourgeois army” and “militarism” is insufficient when the threat is proximate and material.

Point (2)
Beyond interests, there is ideological inertia—a neutrality self-presented as internationalism that struggles to distinguish the immediate aggressor from the general horizon of anti-imperialist critique. One can recall the UK debates in early 2022 (Stop the War statements and Labour’s response). The Guardian+1

Point (3)
“High theory” does not guarantee historical precision. When it abstracts the conjuncture through levelling analogies—skipping the antifascist break of the 20th century and today’s material specificities—the effect is equalisation, not illumination. (For context, see how contemporary philosophical interventions frame the global scene.) autonomies.org+1

Point (4)
Calls for “unity” that ignore real division—promising a future synthesis—do not deliver unity; they preface a new division that briefly masquerades as one.

Point (5)
States on the edges of poles often “play” all options. Were Greece to suffer heavy defeat/territorial loss, a broad anti-Western convergence—from religious right to radical left—would be plausible; the tacit social contract with the West could rupture.

Point (6)
Exiting one hegemonic pole need not mean entering another. The normative choice is an autonomous strategy of labour and its allies, without indirect alignments with the “enemy of the immediate enemy.”

Point (7)
“Levelling” all imperialisms favours the one acting aggressively now. Conjunctural prioritisation of the immediate threat does not cancel universal critique; it operationalises it.

Point (8)
Paraphrasing Engels: the world is determined not by unity but by materiality. Imperialism is unity-as-multiplicity—no single substance with superficial variations, but material forms constituting its essence.

Point (9)
Revolutionary aims do not presuppose an already unified world; they work to unify a world divided by historical classes and inequalities.

Point (10)
Authoritarianism, mass violence and imperial projects exist “in the East” as well, often sanctified by anti-colonial rhetoric. The present resembles less a neutral “multipolarity” than an emergent bipolarity: a relatively mature Western pole confronting a rising Eastern one; in between, frontier frictions are visible (e.g., Aegean overflights/disputes in 2022).
