Open Letter of the General Secretary of the KKE [A],[B]
to the People of Greece

portrait
Nikos Zachariadis

Mussolini's fascism backstabbed Greece in a murderous and immoral way in order to occupy and enslave Greece. Today all the Greeks are fighting for our freedom. our honor, our national independence. The struggle will be very hard and very tough. But a nation that desires to survive must fight defying the dangers and the sacrifices. The people of Greece are fighting a national liberation war against Mussolini's fascism. Alongside with the main front, EVERY ROCK, EVERY HILLSIDE, EVERY CITY, HOUSE BY HOUSE MUST BECOME A FORTRESS OF THE NATIONAL LIBERATION STRUGGLE. Every agent of fascism must be exterminated mercilessly. In this war which is led by the government of Metaxas, all of us must offer all their efforts without doubts. The reward for the working people and the capstone of today's struggle will be a new Greece of work and freedom liberated from any foreign imperialist dependence with a true popular culture. Everyone to the struggle, each one to his position, and the victory will be a victory of Greece and the Greek people. The workers of all the world are on our side.

Athens, 31 of October 1940.
Nikos Zachariadis
Secretary of the Central Comitee of KKE

A. Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας, The Communist Party of Greece.

Zachariadis wrote this letter from jail, urging unity with the Metaxas government the effort to defeat the common enemy of the Greek people.



Ανοιχτό γράμμα του Γενικού Γραμματέα του ΚΚΕ
Προς το λαό της Ελλάδας

Ο φασισμός του Μουσολίνι χτύπησε την Ελλάδα πισώπλατα, δολοφονικά και ξετσίπωτα με σκοπό να την υποδουλώσει και εξανδραποδίσει. Σήμερα όλοι οι Έλληνες παλεύουμε για τη λευτεριά, την τιμή, την εθνική μας ανεξαρτησία. Η πάλη θα είναι πολύ δύσκολη και πολύ σκληρή. Μα ένα έθνος που θέλει να ζήσει πρέπει να παλεύει, αψηφώντας τους κινδύνους και τις θυσίες. 0 λαός τής Ελλάδας διεξάγει σήμερα έναν πόλεμο εθνικοαπελευθερωτικό, ενάντια στο φασισμό του Μουσολίνι. Δίπλα στο κύριο μέτωπο και Ο ΚΑΘΕ ΒΡΑΧΟΣ, Η ΚΑΘΕ ΡΕΜΑΤΙΑ, ΤΟ ΚΑΘΕ ΧΩΡΙΟ, ΚΑΛΥΒΑ ΜΕ ΚΑΛΥΒΑ, Η ΚΑΘΕ ΠΟΛΗ, ΣΠΙΤΙ ΜΕ ΣΠΙΤΙ, ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΕΙ ΦΡΟΥΡΙΟ ΤΟΥ ΕΘΝΙΚΟΑΠΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΩΤΙΚΟΥ ΑΓΩΝΑ. Κάθε πράκτορας του φασισμού πρέπει να εξοντωθεί αλύπητα. Στον πόλεμο αυτό πού τον διευθύνει ή κυβέρνηση Μεταξά, όλοι μας πρέπει να δώσουμε όλες μας τις δυνάμεις, δίχως επιφύλαξη. Έπαθλο για τον εργαζόμενο λαό και επιστέγασμα για το σημερινό του αγώνα, πρέπει να είναι και θα είναι, μια καινούργια 'Ελλάδα τής δουλειάς, τής λευτεριάς, λυτρωμένη από κάθε ξενική ιμπεριαλιστική εξάρτηση, μ'εναν πραγματικά παλλαϊκό πολιτισμό. Όλοι στον αγώνα, ο καθένας στη θέση του και ή νίκη θα 'ναι νίκη τής Ελλάδας και τού λαού της. Οι εργαζόμενοι όλου του κόσμου στέκουν στο πλευρό μας.

Αθήνα, 31 τού Οχτώβρη 1940.

View Article  CM Punk is still awesome
portraitLast night on Monday Night Raw, CM Punk and Kofi Kingston won the WWE World Tag Team Championship after beating Team Priceless.  And again, I totally screamed like a little girl when CM Punk got the pin.  Punk is one of the best and most exciting talents to hit WWE in years.  It's too bad that his reign as World Heavyweight Champion was so short-lived, but it's not his fault that WWE can't figure out how to effectively write for Punk's character.

I really wasn't expecting WWE to put another title on Punk anytime soon because the writers have seemed hell-bent on bumping him back down to the lower portion of the midcard.  So last night's win was a pleasant surprise.  My favorite spot of the match (other than the actual pin, that is) was Punk's "counter" to the Russian leg sweep (0:28 in the clip below).  The Russian leg sweep is such a fast move that there usually isn't an effective counter to it.  If I've ever seen a counter to it before, I can't remember it.  Turns out all you really have to do is grab a rope, though.  Punk's high spots were pretty good, too.  "Go To Sleep," which is CM Punk's finishing move, (0:34) is probably my favorite finisher since "Sweet Chin Music."  Awesome.  Finally some good stuff from WWE!
