Kommunistikon Komma Ellados! Third International! Long Live The Cause of Lenin!
Long live, Markos Vafiades thought, our cause. So far, it achieved great successes, a true testiment to the efficiency of socialism - because, compare the way the Imperialistic War was conducted by a Tsarist Russia and the way the Revolutionary War was now being carried out by Stalin's USSR, against all odds. Or Greece.
It was a debacle, an outrageous humiliation. To LOSE to ITALIANS! Not even Austria-Hungary lost to Italians, the only nation that managed to lose to Italians before was indeed Turkey. Albania, which had no army, didn't count - besides, the Italians had many casualties during the invasion anyway. Yet, somehow, they learned of their past mistakes... or, more likely, sided with the oligarchs who were only too happy to sell their country. But Mussolini was foiled - albeit he did win the war and take many Greek lands, he never did manage to hold all of Greece under his rule. The partisans, including Vafiades himself, gave the Italians a blood-letting they still did not forget.
But now, now that Vafiades personally shot the richest oligarchs and had the others sent to labour camps, Greece was avenging all those days of humiliation well. Already, unconfirmed reports of Yugoslav-Greek forces taking Tirane came in. Vafiades smiled. As if it was ever in doubt.
Victory will come. It was, after all, historically inevitable.

A MESSAGE FROM THE INFORMBUREAU ON THE STATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
The Dark Forces of Imperialism continue to desperately defend the priveleged classes against progress. But no matter what, their efforts are doomed by the very nature of the Imperialist international society. To put it simply, even against a threat as great to them as social justice the forces of Imperialism could scarcely form an efficient common front. The best that their hired-arms could do is slightly, at the cost of many lives, delay the tide of Progress. And even that they achieve rarely - as is evident. With each day, revolutionary armies liberate more and more territory from the Capitalist yoke. Already, several fronts have been succesfully closed, and the Imperialist armies are being routed in France, in Albania, in Hungary and in Manchuria.
As the old, opressive empires try to cling on to life, their ruling classes increasingly try to hide the truth from themselves, to create a false sense of security. The results are obvious - depression and insanity. The more active of the Imperialist leaders are, meanwhile, doing their best to lambaste socialism. In powerless rage, they spout dirty lies, hoping to convince themselves in them above all.
A notable example is Winston Churchill, Enemy Of The People #4. The Prime Minister of the British puppet king, Winston Churchill is dedicated to prolonging the war, to sheding blood of his own and other peoples. He was born in 1874, in an "aristocratic" family. Like many other Jingoists, he was, from his youth, unpromising. People like Churchill are most often incapable of using the unfair advantages in education granted to them, hence Churchill's pathetic results at Harrow. Desperate to rectify the situation, Churchill, guided by delusions of glory and by a wish to live up to the reputation of his 18th Century militaristic ancestor, tried to get into the Royal Military College - only by chance did his third attempt succeed. A coward by nature, Churchill preffered to watch the suffering of other soldiers and hence became a war correspondent for British Empire's piecemeal victories in imperialistic wars of expansion.
It has been already stated that Winston Churchill was a coward - indeed, he feared the very sight of blood. Hence, his resignment and continued attempts to enter political life in the British Empire. The British people, not as naive back then as they are now, blocked his first attempt to join the Parliament, but eventually, through backroom dealing, he managed to infiltrate the institution that existed solely to create a semblance of democracy. Initially a Conservative, Churchill deserted his first political party as soon as its affairs seemed dire, and joined the Liberal Party.
Details of Winston Churchill's further career are irrelevant. Slowly, through Byzantine intrigue and maniacal oratory, he rose in importance. He was amongst those who provoked the Imperialist War and profited from it initially, until his utter military incompetence showed itself and resulted in his disgraceful resign. Stubborn, Churchill eventually lied his way back into the grace of the Big Capital, and used his position as secretary of war to support all and any undertakings directed towards defeating the Great October Revolution in Russia - the intervention attempts, mismanaged again, failed and the Soviet Rule was succesfuly imposed. Churchill held various government posts in the vast Imperialist buerocratic system until in 1922 his Imperialistic policy towards Turkey proved too extremal even for his usual backers and he was defeated humiliatingly in the elections.
Again and again, longing for power, Winston Churchill came back to it regardless. In 1940, during the Indonesian Crisis, Churchill lied his way into Prime Ministry. Most of it was spent, as usual, on antagonization of all things Churchill saw as threatening his interests, most notably progress. In 1944, he participated in the formation of the present Imperialistic Stonewall Pact.
A recent speech by Winston Churchill is an example of how badly can mental health of Imperialists detiriorate when they are facing Progress:
"People of the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Scotland, we are locked in a deadly struggle with the communist pigs. These people seek to enslave the world under their rule. They seek to destroy what we have worked so hard to accomplish. These Russians, these barbarians have already ravaged Eastern Europe, spreading the clouds of war over the European continent. This is a new kind of war, the Soviets seek total annihilation of those who oppose them, and those who they don't agree with. For the sake of freedom and liberty, we must fight! France is about to fall, time is running out. Soon we may stand alone in Western Europe against the communist threat. But we must never give in! Our army is marching, our navy is sailing, our airforce is flying to victory. The Britian Empire and the Commonwealth will never rest untill the communists are driven back to the steppes from which they came!"
Note the mistakes:
1. There is no such thing as an "United Kigndom of England, Wales and Scotland", there is an "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Notably, amongst the delusional Imperialist leaders, such lack of rudimentary knowledge of their own nations is hardly something of an exception.
2. There is no such thing as "communist pigs", unless Winston Churchill is reffering to socialized lifestock, with whom Britain does not seem to be at war with specifically at all, much less in a deadly struggle.
3. The Third International does NOT wage a war against the British people. Notably, aerial terror bombing campaigns against Britain itself were fairly rare - whilst Churchill showed no restraint in his usage of such weapons of mass destruction as atomic bombs against peaceful citizens.
4. Are they "pigs" or "people"?
5. The Third International does not seek to enslave anyone; rather, it intends to remove the obstacles before social progress that were created by Imperialistic governments, hence liberating the people of the world from a tyranny of a minority.
6. The RSFSR is only one of the numerous states at war against the Imperialistic regimes, both within the USSR and within the Third International at large.
7. From Meriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: "bar.bar.i.an adj [L barbarus] (14c) 1: of or relating to a land, culture, or people alien and usu. believed to be inferior to another land, culture, or people". It would seem that Churchill believes the Russians to be alien and inferior to Britain. He is yet to give sufficient argument for that point of view, which does not seem to be rational.
8. Eastern Europe was largely ravaged by pointless Imperialist resistance, for example the destruction of the Germano-Polish city of Lublin was carried out by the Imperialistic regime currently in power in Germany.
9. The statement about destroying all those who do not agree with the Councils does not seem to have much factual basis behind it neither.
10. The Soviet Union's constitution being generally much more liberal and free then the precedent system of the UK, it is a miracle that Churchill could keep a straight face whilst saying that one must fight USSR for the sake of freedom.
11. British army is currently marching home, abandoning its so-called allies. Unless "victory" is to be found for Churchill by the means of garrisoning London and other British cities, his statement about the army marching to victory does not have a lot to do with facts.
12. Far from all Communists came from the Steppes - a statistical analysis would show that most of them come from the cities or from the villages. One might also wonder if Winston Churchill is suggesting a forceful resettlement program for the population of USSR into a steppe reigon where supporting such a large population would be impossible.
With such madmen against Progress, we can have no doubts of victory... but for the same reason, it is unlikely to be easy. Churchillians will resort to terror and intimidation, and we must be ready for that. We must persist no matter what, and then, Imperialism will crumble.
