Nikos Karanikas<\/b> once again speaks his mind about Alexis Tsipras<\/b>. <\/p>\n
Specifically, Nikos Karanakas<\/b> comments in a post on Alexis Tsipras<\/b>‘s intervention in the Newspaper of the Editors<\/b>, in which he foreshadows an acceleration of the processes for the new party he is preparing. He says that Alexis Tsipras<\/b> told only two truths among so many lies: first, that there is no serious opposition and second, that he himself has changed. <\/p>\n
But Nikos Karanikas<\/b> sees that the former prime minister has changed for the worse. He even calls Alexis Tsipras<\/b>‘s intervention and the narrative that he should take responsibility for creating a progressive front “demagoguery”. <\/p>\n
He stresses that the only reason for the former prime minister’s return is for reasons of arrogance, because he considers himself better than the other members of the Left. And he wants his former comrades to be subordinates and extras in a party – IX. <\/p>\n
At the same time, the party, as he claims, will be led by a closed circle of cadres consisting of the same cadres he had in Maximou as prime minister on the one hand, and on the other hand with some professors who satisfy his personal ambitions. <\/p>\n
One of the notable things he mentioned is that the former prime minister has certain oligarchs next to him who are promoting his reinstatement, mentioning the name of Dimitris Melissanidis<\/b>. He wondered how he could declare himself a leftist and radical and at the same time receive support from oligarchs and big interests. <\/p>\n
As he continued, the oligarchs who do not want Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b> have pinned their hopes on Alexis Tsipras<\/b>. However, he stresses that with so many oligarchs beside him and with so many unscrupulous cadres following him, the party he is preparing will not be anything but Leftist. <\/p>\n
Finally, the former strategic adviser to Alexis Tsipras<\/b> comments that all this is a decadent Left that the people should not accept, as their goal is only to satisfy the elites, the oligarchs, their personal ambitions and their ideologies. He concludes that a serious opposition with a narrative for tomorrow must finally be created. <\/p>\n
Here is the post:<\/b> <\/p>\n
“Time of responsibility”: the new demagogy of Tsipras. Tsipras told two truths.The first is that he himself has changed.And the second is that there is no opposition.He took this responsibility and told the truth but let’s see the rest he didn’t tell.Responsibility time” but for his personal strategy and return serving the individual ambitions of himself and his close company, his office which is the close circle from 2019 and is responsible for multiple failures. He obviously doesn’t see this because he needs glue and capable facilitators. <\/p>\n
What did we read the other day? We read that it’s time for change and generic leftist rants. That’s what we read.What did those of us who are not desperate and fanatical understand?He wants to come back to prove to us that he is better than the Syriza and Nair cadres who undermined him with their self-referentiality and general anachronistic incompetence but he needs them as mere subordinates without their factions to bring him in touch with voters. To become an electoral machine; that is his need. <\/p>\n
He is indeed better than his cadres, dolphins and factional high priests. But that is not enough. <\/p>\n
Tsipras became known to the world because there was a ready-made party, a youth and a movement that made him known. Without the young people who had supported him since 1998 for youth secretary and later president of the Coalition of the Left and Progress that evolved into SYRIZA for the sake of the movement against neoliberal globalisation, Tsipras would not be known today.Just as the other cadres like me who became known and known to the world because SYRIZA became the government would not be known either.This is the history that today becomes a tool for his personal ambitions. <\/p>\n
Tsipras, as he said himself, has changed. Indeed he has changed and is preparing an IX party – SA with his subordinate office known for the facilities he made while he was in government.For the sake of these facilities he also made the newly established institute with well-meaning academics for his personal ambitions but they call it abusively leftist. <\/p>\n
At first he wanted it to be centrist but he got a door from the Centre and ran out of left out of habit.Left party without leftists.Because a since when are leftists and leftists drawn as followers to a party of person, since when are leftists to an IX party ;since when is it leftist to have the “wise” people attack them for their manifesto and narrative for being a party of the people… no shouting? <\/p>\n
Since when is the party not a social political process and is the affair of an elite of ambitious and some followers in a presentation of a personal book-length treatise? A party for individual strategies and for the groveling of the desperate cadres who have run out of party because of the rot of Syriza and Near is what he is preparing and this is neither leftist nor democratic. <\/p>\n
Let’s tell some truth.Since when has the left been an IX party and even a SA with “partners” and allies the oligarchs like Melissanidis?What Melissanidis is not an oligarch or not a participant? Do you think I am making such a mistake?Is Melissanidis a leftist? Is he the new Friedrich Engels? I didn’t know, bear with me…And what expectations does this leftist no-huddle oligarch have of a leftist party? Equality and democracy?No oligarch can expect anything good from a leftist party because the left is simply against every oligarch and their monopolies. <\/p>\n
Today’s oligarchs either make their own parties like Kokkalis the “Cosmos” or they manipulate the parties through political money known as “Black money”.They also manipulate them with their media because that is how they manipulate and demagogue aspiring to turn the “Cosmos” into followers of voters. The oligarchs are useful for themselves, while society is exploited for their benefit. Today some oligarchs, as we can see, are with Tsipras because they obviously don’t get along with Mitsotakis. <\/p>\n
One such oligarch as we can see has bought the Journal of the Constitution and has turned it into an instrument of Tsipras and mutual facilities.What am I doing wrong? If I am wrong sorry but I want proof. What expectations does an oligarch have of a party? Maybe the facilities as a government? No oligarch can expect anything good from a leftist party and that is why today they are shamelessly with Tsipras who as we can see is preparing a party with former leftists who are unscrupulous and indifferent to society.Unscrupulous former leftists who despise the left and they proved it by participating and supporting the coup that overthrew the democratically elected Kasselakis and turned SYRIZA into a boussified party. <\/p>\n
Else all the unscrupulous cadres who abused the left and turned it into a factional faction and profession. It also attracts ordinary members and followers who have anti-rightist syndromes and can’t stand Mitsotakis any longer. But they don’t care about socialism since such a narrative and call does not exist on the part of the IX Tsipras party. Pure stuff and without illusions.Of course the IX party is functioning as an AE with its institute fronted by some academics of the thunderstorm filled with hoots of glory who strut without shame that they are replacing the democratic collective intellectual who until yesterday were called “party”.Such audacity. <\/p>\n
Well the curtain has been opened and in the next elections Melissanides and various oligarchs will fight to be represented by the mutant Tsipras.Tsipras unfortunately chose to return for personal reasons and this finds me antagonistic and somewhat indifferent trying to overcome the feelings of love and loyalty I have had for him since 1998.He is right though when he says it is time for accountability. <\/p>\n
It is our responsibility to create the conditions for a different left without the self-referentiality and anachronism of the Syriza Near cadres, without the anti-right and empyrean syndromes; a different left with the left’s values of equality freedom democracy, but together with the market and entrepreneurial creativity to serve the common good and prosperity for the whole world and not just for a caste of left or right wingers and their elite. <\/p>\n
And our alliance should be workers, young entrepreneurs and politically the progressive centre and every democrat against the oligarchs and their fiefdoms; not accepting alienation and the decadent left. To dare for something democratic as a result of social political processes. To transform our unwise talk of a participatory democratic liberal socialism of our time into a new condition and narrative for tomorrow.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
