The KKE denounces the government for Greece’s role in the Straits of Hormuz, insisting on a line of isolation and break with international alliances.
The KKE confirms once again that it functions more as a mechanism for ideological recycling than as a force with elementary contact with geopolitical reality. On the occasion of the statements on Greece’s role in navigation of the Sea Straits of Hormuz, it resorts to the familiar vocabulary of “imperialist wars”, “slaughterhouses” and “shipowners’ interests”, as if we were still in the Cold WarWar.
The basic contradiction is blatant: on the one hand it denounces any international involvement as dangerous, on the other it blatantly ignores the fact that Greece is a maritime power with vital interests in the security of the sea lanes. Presenting the protection of navigation as a “wartime engagement” is not just over-simplification – it is a deliberate distortion.
“Solution” of strategic self-harm
Even more problematic is the “solution” he proposes: withdrawal from international partnerships, base closures, return of forces and complete disengagement from strategic allies. In other words, a Greece isolated, geopolitically inert and exposed to every possible threat. This is a proposal that may sound “clear” ideologically, but in practice it amounts to strategic self-homegrownness.
The KKE systematically invests in tension and denunciation, because that is where it feels safe. It does not need to give realistic answers, it does not need to take responsibility, it does not need to explain how the country would function in a complex international correlation without alliances. His political proposal stops where reality begins.
Finally, the Perissos party is not trying to influence developments – it is trying to confirm itself. And that is what is most revealing: a voice that constantly shouts about everything, but is unconvincing about nothing.
