Movement for the Reorganization of the Communist Party of Greece 1918-55
Encyclopedia
The Movement for the Reorganization of the Communist Party of Greece 1918–55 , is a minor Greek political party. It is better known as Anasintaxi (Reorganization).
Anasintaxi was established in 1996. It is a Marxist-Leninist organization which struggles for the union of all Greek communists in one Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist party. It occurred from the union of small Marxist-Leninist groups such as Movement for a United Communist Party of Greece
and Post-Soviet Epoch mainly consisted of exiled Greek communists from the former Soviet Union and old EAM
-ELAS
soldiers and officers.
The members of Anasintaxi claim that today's KKE has no relation with the party before its destalinization in the period 1955–1956 and that the new party's leaders traited Nikolaos Zachariadis
the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) until 1955. In order to make distinction between the old party and the new party, that arose after 1955, they are referring to today's KKE as "K"KE or "K"KE('56), putting in brackets the letter K which responds to the word Communist.
In contradiction with other anti-revisionist
organisations, Anasintaxi uses regularly the term Stalinism
. The movement criticized Ludo Martens
as a revisionist and defender of Mikhail Gorbachev
, and his book Another View of Stalin as a fundamentally anti-Stalin book.
The organization publishes a biweekly four-page newspaper called Anasintaxi.
Anasintaxi is an active participant in the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle)
.
It hasn't participated in any elections.
