Työntekijät Revolutionary Party

The Greek Workers Revolutionary Party, known in Greece as EEK (Ergatiko Epanastatiko Komma), is a political organization that identifies with Trotskyism, a form of Marxist theory developed by Leon Trotsky. This ideological stance distinguishes itself from…   other Marxist factions by emphasizing the need for an international proletarian revolution and critiquing the bureaucratic degeneration of the Soviet Union under Stalin. The party's foundation is deeply rooted in the belief that true socialism can only be achieved through the direct action and self-organization of the working class, across all national borders.<br /><br />The values and political goals of the Greek Workers Revolutionary Party are centered around the overthrow of capitalism, the dismantling of the existing state apparatus, and the establishment of a socialist society. This entails a commitment to workers' control over production, the redistribution of wealth to ensure social and economic equality, and the creation of democratic workers' councils as the basis of political authority. The EEK is also known for its staunch opposition to imperialism, nationalism, and all forms of discrimination, advocating for a society where individuals are free from oppression in all its forms.<br /><br />Environmental issues and the fight against the climate crisis are also integral to the party's platform, reflecting a broader understanding of the need for a sustainable relationship between humanity and the planet. This is seen as part of the struggle against the capitalist system, which is criticized for prioritizing profit over ecological balance and the well-being of future generations.<br /><br />In the Greek political landscape, the EEK operates on the far-left spectrum, often collaborating with other leftist and anti-capitalist groups in protests, strikes, and electoral campaigns. Despite its relatively small size compared to major political parties in Greece, the EEK seeks to influence public discourse and policy on issues of social justice, workers' rights, and international solidarity, drawing on the rich history of Marxist theory and revolutionary practice.Lue lisää
