A message for the anniversary of the celebration of “No” on October 28 was sent by the secretary general of the Central Committee of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas.
As Dimitris Koutsoubas mentioned, “both then and now the Greek people’s “No” is a huge “No” to the imperialist war, to the capitalism that gives birth to fascism, poverty, oppression and exploitation. Happy birthday.”
KKE: All the causes that led to World War II are here
“Today, all the causes that led to World War II are here,” the KKE emphasized in a statement.
He stated that “the invasion of the troops of Fascist Italy in the early hours of October 28, 1940 was the opening event. Milestone of a period that would lead to the drama of the triple fascist occupation. But also in the awakening and heroic mass action of the labor – popular forces, through the lines of the KKE and the EAM – ELAS”.
“This action, together with the titanic struggle and sacrifices of the USSR and the Red Army, partisan movements and peoples throughout Europe, finally led to the liberation of Athens and the entire country – the 80 years of which it commemorated before in a few days the KKE – and in the Great Anti-Fascist Victory of the peoples”, he emphasizes.
“The people have a lot to learn”
As Perissos asserts, “there are many things that the people and the youth have to learn from that period. Especially today when the fire of the imperialist war has been lit for good in Europe, the Middle East and in the total of 56 conflicts that are active all over the planet, which is the largest number recorded since the end of the Second World War.
After all, the Second World War, like the First, was the result of the great contradictions that were shaking the world capitalist system at that time with contested control of markets and spheres of influence, contradictions that intensified after the outbreak of the international capitalist economic crisis” .
“At the same time, the goal of both imperialist blocs, both the ‘Axis’ and the USA – Great Britain and their allies, was the destruction of the Soviet Union, the first worker-socialist state in history, which had the decisive contribution to the crushing of Nazism,” he adds.
