Russia’s invasion into Georgia and the occupation of a part of its territory has been the most overt hitleric action since World War II. This is not the first time that an imperialist country invades another independent country.
Russian social-imperialism acted this way against Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan, as USSR, and so did American imperialism against Afghanistan, Iraq, and Serbia (Kossovo) as head of broader inter-state alliances.
There are however two elements that distinguish this specific invasion from any previous one:
1st, The invading imperialist country de facto annexes to itself a part of the invaded country.
2nd, A police-type state-monopolistic fascist dictatorship with anti-semitic characteristics is being excercized in the interior of the invading country. Its brutality has been proved by the genocide of the Chechen people and the murders of Russian democratic journalists.
The previous time where those two factors were combined was at the invasion of Hitler’s Germany to Czechoslovakia. Hitler had claimed then that in this way he protected the German national minority of that country. Now Putin claims that he is protecting the national minorities of Ossetians and Abkhazians, who have been living inside Georgia having the right of territorial autonomy. The difference is the following: As these populations are not Russians, Putin’s regime provided them with Russian passports so that he could then “protect” them as Russian citizens! The democrats of the whole world must resist the Georgian “Czechoslovakia of 2008” if they do not want to see Europe being swallowed up piece-by-piece by the new Hitlers.
New Hitlers are more dangerous than the old ones, because:
1st German Hitlers developed their might within a few years aiming to a surprise military attack against Europe. Opposite to that, the Russian Hitlers implement a long-range policy of infiltration by which they gain political bases everywhere in the world in order to encircle Europe and then launch a war for its subjugation. For that reason they have developed the typical method of Czarism to infiltrate with agents in foreign governments (as Marx had observed), adding to that the trotskyite-style penetration in all the political parties of a certain country, especially the “leftist” ones.
2nd The Third Reich was deprived of economic pressure weapons against its victims. On the contrary, Putin’s neo-hitlerian regime has formed a wide world front of control over the energy sources of Europe.
3rd The old Hitlers were confronted worldwide by the left, which was the heart of every democratic resistance. The new Hitlers on the contrary, having emerged in the world history as underminers and traitors of the revolutionary socialism, deconstructed the organized left from the inside and have frequently transformed the once greatest antibody against nazism into a pro-nazi virus.
That’s why the left, which would be expected to support Georgia, has been nowadays immobilized by its hidden-fascist leaders using the allegation that it isn’t Georgia that stands up against Russia, but American imperialism. So, these fascists who are dressed up in a left costume claim that there is not such thing as a Georgian sovereign country and there are not any Georgian people under attack by an imperialism. They claim that there is only a Georgian government eager to join NATO and for this reason this government is so much alienated from Georgia as are the Russian occupying troops. Therefore, it makes no difference for them that this government was elected by the people of the specific country. Actually, the anti-Americanism of these fascists is ostensible, as was Hitler’s anti-Anglism with which he had tried to slander his adversaries and drag the colonial world behind him.
In fact, the Western imperialists do not turn Georgia against Russia. They press Georgia to submit to Russia, as expected from those who often trample upon the sovereignty of the weak states in order to preserve stability for their stock-markets. Especially the Western-Europeans sacrifice Georgia so that Russia won’t cut off the energy supply for them. They will actually react only when Hitler marches against them.
So, in this phase, the only real answer to Russian neonazism is a new democratic and patriotic anti-fascist front, basically of the peoples and of the non imperialist states being threatened by Russia. Through that process a new truly internationalist left will emerge as a leading antifascist power.
The Greek democrats and patriots have a special duty to resist the new Hitlerians, as there is great danger that our country will be found on their side, because the leaders of the 5 parliamentary parties promote the Russian interests in all major issues. When some of the 5 parties declare that they are against the recognition of the secession of South Ossetia from Russia, they just pretend. This is shown from the following facts: 1) They support that they are not comfortable with the Russian recognition for the reason that it is one-sided, meaning that they are not comfortable with the fact that Russia does not have yet at its disposal a puppet government in Georgia willing to consent to the partition. 2) They constantly reproduce the Russian allegation that Georgia attacked South Ossetia, thus putting the blame on Georgia for the secession. Yet, it was Russia that through its Ossetian lackeys provoked Georgia for months attacking Georgian targets. Besides, and in any case, a war launched by a country in order to restore its territorial integrity can not be aggressive. 3) and the most important: All 5 parties have not denounced the Russian invasion into Georgia neither the occupation of Georgia’s territory outside South Ossetia and Abkhazia from the Russian army. The fact that the 5 leaderships do not openly support the partition of Georgia is due to their unwillingness to be exposed as de facto promoters of Cyprus partition also.
Furthermore we should not forget that Kremlin’s trustees, Andreas Papandreou being the first, never protested when Russia herself as USSR was the first to pose the issue of Cyprus partition by proposing a two-zone federation in 1965 or when Russia alone praised the Turkish invasion in the island in 1974 as “restoration of constitutional order”, through TASS agency. What the agents really want is only their boss’ well-being. Our duty is to put an end to it as long as there is time.
