The 34th Anti-Imperialist Camp of the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE), the young wing of the KKE, was successfully held at Alissos, Peloponnese from 2 to 6 of July. The events culminated on Friday 4 July with a political rally in the city of Patras, well as with an anti-imperialist demonstration at Araxos military base on Saturday 5 July.

Greeting messages to the participants of the Camp were sent from Communist Youths from Palestine, Israel and Iran. 

Below you can read the messages, which were published in 902.gr portal:  

Palestinian Communist Youth Union

“The Palestinian Communist Youth Union and the Palestinian Communist Party extend a warm Bolshevik greeting to the comrades of the Communist Party of Greece and its youth, those who, despite all pressures and provocations, remain steadfast in their revolutionary principles and hold high the banner of Marxism-Leninism against a world system based on plunder, exploitation and war.

We meet today in this militant internationalist camp with the slogan: "With the peoples to freedom, against the system of injustice and wars", at a historical moment when the contradictions of the world imperialist system are sharpening, with the fragility of backward capitalism evident, with the deepening of its structural, economic and environmental crises and the acceleration of the policies of war, hunger and plunder of peoples.

At the heart of this global scene, Palestine remains the living embodiment of the division of the world into two camps: the imperialist and Zionist exploitative camp and the camp of resistance and liberation.

The Zionist occupation is not simply a local colonial phenomenon. On the contrary, it is a bridgehead for the imperialist project in our region, a functional tool in the hands of global capital, which secures its interests, reinforces the logic of dependence and imposes an economic model based on the enslavement of the Palestinian proletariat and its transformation into a cheap, exploited and oppressed labor force in the service of the capitalist monopolies of settlement.

The occupation is not founded exclusively on military violence, but on an entire network of economic, political and cultural structures aimed at crushing national identity, destroying the possibilities for independent development and transforming the Palestinian person into a creature crushed between the hammer of colonialism and the anvil of capitalism.

Nevertheless, the struggle of our people has not stopped. On the contrary, their radicalism and their belief in the legitimacy of revolutionary change have increased.

Based on our Marxist-Leninist reading, we believe that the internal contradictions created by occupation, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, genocide and bloody repression - in themselves pave the way for the explosion of class and national consciousness and create the conditions for a revolutionary explosion.

From the heart of suffering emerges consciousness, from beneath the ruins emerges dignity and from within oppression is born hope.

When the struggle of our Palestinian people is realized as a prospect of revolutionary national liberation, it becomes an integral part of the international struggle against the capitalist-imperialist system.

We do not fight the battle alone. But we consider ourselves at the forefront of the struggling peoples of the world, from Chile to the Philippines, from Cuba to South Africa, from Athens to Jenin.

Our comrades in the Communist Party of Greece and the KNE, we look to you with pride. You have never been simply exponents of solidarity, but fellow travelers of a path, a model of stability, clarity and devotion to the principles of the revolution. Our theoretical and militant unity is an expression of a common class destiny and a common conviction that socialism is not a deferred dream, but a pressing need to save humanity and its planet.

No matter how much repression intensifies, no matter how numerous the enemies and the regimes-conspirators are, the pole of the peoples will rise up and history will not be written by the pen of the powerful, but by the hands of the masses as they organize, arm their consciousness and subordinate the moment to their liberating plan.

With every popular uprising, every workers' strike and every student outcry, the illusion of the "end of history" is shattered and the characteristics of a new, just, free and socialist world are formed as a perspective.

Let us prove today that the unity of the international proletariat and the national liberation movements is not just a political alliance, but a necessary condition for the victory of the revolution.

Long live free and red Palestine!

Long live the struggle of the peoples for socialism!

Long live Marxism-Leninism!

Down with imperialism, Zionism and Arab reaction.”

Young Communist League of Israel 

“Dear comrades,

We extend to you militant greetings on behalf of the Communist Youth Union of Israel and deeply appreciate your invitation to participate in this militant initiative, which brings together youthful forces that stand steadfastly against war, occupation and imperialist domination.

Unfortunately, we were unable to attend in person, due to intensive preparations for our summer camps and our continuous political and social work and action, however, we are always together, united in the struggle, fighting side by side against our common enemy: imperialism and global capitalism.

We live in an era characterized by escalating global imperialist aggression against the peoples of the world. New fronts of war and destruction are opening up to serve the interests of capital, at the expense of life and the rights of peoples to self-determination.

For a year and a half, the Gaza Strip has been under a barbaric and ongoing Israeli attack, which has claimed tens of thousands of lives and destroyed the social, economic and humanitarian foundations of Gaza. This attack is being carried out with the full support of the United States, the complicity of European governments and the support of reactionary Arab regimes that are aligned with the occupying power and not with the oppressed people.

This aggression is not limited to Gaza. In the West Bank, the settlement and annexation plan is rapidly accelerating. In Israel, Palestinians and anti-occupation activists face political persecution, racist incitement, and systematic repression aimed at creating a reality reminiscent of a military regime.

This aggression extends beyond Palestine, to South Lebanon, Iran, and other areas of the Middle East, contributing to the maintenance and strengthening of global imperialist interests by the United States.

This aggression cannot be separated from the general structure of imperialist domination and capitalism.

In the face of this reality, we reaffirm our belief that it is the people — and at the forefront, the working class, youth, and students — who will overthrow this system based on war and exploitation and build an alternative reality, just and free.

This genocide cannot continue any longer. We resolutely oppose the transformation of Gaza into a mass grave, where all human values ​​are buried. We hold accountable all governments that continue to export weapons to Israel’s genocidal and destructive machine.

Supporting the Palestinian people today is not a matter of sympathy — it is an internationalist duty.

Opposing arms exports to Israel is not just a political issue, but an urgent moral and humanitarian necessity.

More than a year and a half after the start of this war, governments around the world remain complicit in war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.

We, in the Communist Youth Union of Israel, continue our daily struggle in the streets, in the universities, in the workplaces and in the parliament (Knesset), against the occupation and against the plans aimed at erasing the collective conscience and reaffirm our firm position in refusing compulsory military service in the Israeli army (IDF).

We salute our comrades in the KNE for their steadfast youth struggle, rooted in the interests of the working class and the oppressed peoples of the world.

Long live the Communist Youth!

Freedom to Palestine and to all the oppressed peoples of the world!"

Youth of Tudeh Party

“Dear comrades,

The Tudeh Youth of Iran expresses its comradely greetings and solidarity to the 34th Anti-Imperialist Camp of the KNE and wishes you every success in your events and in the broader struggle for peace and socialism.

We particularly appreciate the invitation to have our representative participate in your Camp amidst the tense and uncertain situation in our region and we sincerely express our regret that we cannot attend due to the extremely complicated and urgent situation prevailing in our country.

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and its youth, the KNE, are rightly recognized as champions of international solidarity and fraternal cooperation. We wish you success in broadening and deepening your struggle for a qualitative progressive change in Greece and internationally. In these difficult and uncertain times, we call for the strengthening of the efforts of our organizations for international solidarity and against imperialist aggression in Iran and the Middle East.

As you surely know, our homeland is currently in a dangerous crisis with potentially catastrophic consequences for our people, as a result of the unjustified aggression imposed by imperialism led by the US and its main lackey, the criminal apartheid regime in Israel.

The Israeli military attack on Iran in the early hours of Friday, June 13, was a dangerous attempt to bring about regime change in Iran, exploiting the inherently complex situation in the country and the rifts that exist in the regime after 40 years of theocratic dictatorship.

The first phase of the war of aggressive intervention against Iran clearly did not go as planned, neither for the genocidal apartheid regime in Tel Aviv nor for its imperialist overseers in Washington. However, everything indicates that US imperialism’s plans for “regime change” or its threatening attempts to force the theocratic regime into “complete surrender” – thereby endangering Iran’s sovereignty, independence and long-term security – have not been abandoned.

The progressive and leftist forces in Iran, including the Tudeh Party of Iran and the Tudeh Youth, are campaigning for the broader alliance of patriotic forces to defend peace, progress, and social justice in Iran. Alongside this campaign, the struggle against the reactionary murderous theocratic dictatorship in Iran and for a national democratic government in its place continues unabated.

We declare that the Tudeh Youth of Iran, and all the youth struggling for peace and progress in our devastated homeland, joins its voice with you as you organize this important initiative to educate and prepare for the challenges and struggles that lie ahead.

Good luck at the 34th KNE Anti-Imperialist Camp!

Long live the KNE, the KKE, the Tudeh Youth and the Tudeh Party of Iran!

Long live international solidarity!"
