Regarding the Prespes Agreement and the nationalist rallies

Τhe Prespes agreement between Greece and the Republic of Macedoniaimposes in the clearest manner the hegemony of the Greek state over the neighboring Macedonian state and constitutes an overwhelming diplomatic and political victory for the Greek bourgeois class. According to the agreement, the Republic of Macedonia was forced to change its constitutional name to Republic of North Macedonia, to refrain from any claim over the recognition and rights of the Macedonian ethnic minority in Greece, to rename its public buildings and infrastructure (national highway, Skopje airport) so as to not include names that areconsidered part of the Greek history (Alexander the Great etc.), to submit its school textbooks for revision to an equal parity committee with Greek officials and to secure the free right of investment to the Greek capital in the country. In return, Greece consents to the admission of Macedonia to the NATO and the EU, which both the US and European imperialism favoras a means to gain ground in their rivalry with Russia.

Uprisings are forever! 45 years after...

The “end” of the memorandums and the continuation of the policies linked with them marks this year’s celebrations for the Polytechnic revolt. The SYRIZA-ANEL government begins its electoral campaign with false promises to the workers, but at the same time makes true promises of stability and profit to the bosses. New Democracy in a crescendo of nationalism and neoliberal promises goes after the government in the upcoming elections, trying to win back the support of the bourgeoisie, with privatizations, cutting down working rights and by imposing the dogma of “law and order”.
This is a year of continuous elections. The working movement must come to the forefront and must not wait for the implementation of the pro-electoral promises. It must leave behind the awkwardness the SYRIZA government brought, reorganize and fight back. 
We already have the first encouraging signs. The students demos against the new government law for schools, the angry demos for the racist murder of Jackque Kostopoulos,  the return of the general students assemblies and occupations in universities, and the insisting workers strikes in spite of the shameless sabotage imposed by GSEE. It's time for the workers movement to strike back, realizing that inside parliament, both the government and the opposition are enemies, since they are fighting for the interests of the bourgeoisie.

Declaration of OKDE – Spartakos on the Macedonian issue

1. The “Macedonian issue” is not a historic national issue, but rather a modern political one. The formation of the macedonian nationality and national conscience follows a parallel course with that of the other Balkan nations (Greek, Serbian, Albanian ,Bulgarian), throughout the long term collapse of the Ottoman Empireand the ensuing armed conflicts among the newborn nations (Macedonian Struggle, Balkan Wars, First World War). From this point of view, two things derive. First, the term “Macedonian” used to define the nation, is equally old with all the others and is not an invention of the 90’s with irredentist motives. Second, the creation of new states, whose borders were drawn upon the blood of the peoples of the region, did not solve any “national question”, but on the contrary many ethnic minorities remained inside each state and were persecuted without mercy. For this reason alone, the historical demand for a Socialist Federation of the Balkans remains a compass for the brotherhood of people.
