Comintern (Communist International), KKE (Greek Communist Party) and the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia

Question

Comintern’s involvement on the creation of a Slav-“Macedonian” identity and a Slav-“Macedonian" nation state in the pre-Yugoslavian era (which led Tito to assign the name of the “People’s Republic of Macedonia” to the former “Vardarska Banovina” which became the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia – FYROM ) is attested and well known. But what about the position of the Greek Communist party -KKE- of the time? Please provide sources.

Answer 1

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Greece

At its third party congress in 1924, the KKE announced its policy to promote the creation of two new independent secessionist states in the northern Greek regions of Macedonia and Thrace. This policy was reiterated several times throughout the pre-war era. In 1934, the KKE expressed its intent to "fight for the national self-determination, and ultimately secession, of the repressed Macedonians and Thracians, and to collaborate for this goal with the Bulgarian organizations of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization and the Thracian Revolutionary Organisation".

KKE's policy, which would have entailed the detachment of large areas of northern Greece, was dictated by Comintern and hurt the popularity of Communism at the time. Nikos Zachariadis officially renounced KKE's policy of secession in 1945.

The promise of self-determination for Macedonia was however resumed during the 5th congress of the central committee of KKE held during the civil war; this has been attributed to the fact that by 1949, about 40% on the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) was composed of Greek Slavophones. The number of Slavic speakers in the DSE increased considerably after the merger of it with the National Liberation Front in 1946.

Answer 2

Macedonia implies a Greek those with the Greek Language and of direction F Y R O M has no longer something to do with that. Greece has bent over backwards one hundred cases to furnish the section a suited call yet the two Pres Bush and F Y R O M human beings have thoroughly disregarded Greece. there's a great form of subject that for the duration of destiny generations the government of F Y R O M could attempt to annex Northern Greece. There are different subject concerns as nicely. I Cr 13:8a

Answer 3

Not the Comintern "created" the Macedonians, it is stupid conclusion. On the contrary, Macedonians, organized in VMRO - Obedineta (VMRO-United), even right-wing political and military organization, in 1924 decided that "only USSR can help the Macedonians to reach their independent state".
Same as KKE and KPJ - these parties were sensible and could foresee is it opportune to be partner or enemy to whole the Macedonian nation.
Because Macedonians, in their fight to independence state, produced in the period 1918-1941 pre-war Yugoslavia to keep 3/4 of their gendarmes in Macedonia, and only 1/4 in rest of the Yugoslavia. Besides that, Macedonians did kill the Serbian king Alexander Karadjordjevic II in Marseilles 1934.
Macedonians under Bulgaria were the same what is Hezbollah in Lebanon - Macedonian VMRO was putting up or down the Bulgarian pry-ministers and changing the Government any time.
That is why "Tito" and KKE knew who the Macedonians are and why these people deserve to have their own independence state.

Answer 4

I cannot say for sure if this is a true source but it is something I found about this particular period of time:

"During the German occupation of Greece (1941-1944) the Greek Communist Party-KKE was the main resistance factor with its military branch EAM-ELAS (National Liberation Front). Although many members of EAM were Slavic-speaking, they had either Bulgarian, Greek or distinct Macedonian conscience. To take advantage of the situation KKE established SNOF (Macedonian Liberating Frontier-1943) with the cooperation of the Yugoslav leader Tito, who was ambitious enough to make plans for Greek Macedonia. For this he established the Anti-Fascistic Assembly for the National Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) giving an actual liberating character to the whole region of Macedonia. Besides, KKE was very positive to the option of a greater Macedonia, including the Greek region, since it realized that a victory in the Greek Civil War was utopic. Later EAM and SNOF disagreed in issues of policy and they finally crashed and the latter was expelled from Greece (1944)".

Of cource they say that K.K.E. could not find many Greek soldiers, so Slavs were fighting for it.

Answer 5

What is this, new inventation of Greek nazist? In 1946 Greek and Macedonian communist safe Macedonian children, because Greek fascist killed and baned Macedonians.New invitation that Greek children had been kidnapped with reason to be good solders is very nasty, nice story to cover the Truth about genocide in Aegean Macedonia.Communist countries were pore and had enough children, every family up 6 kids, but they even pore decide accept Macedonian children which parents Greek fascist killed. Many of children were accepted is common families and become common citizens of those countries, not communist solders, like Greek fascist want to show.
Tito didn't invented Macedonian nation, Macedonian nation have been existed more than 3000 years before Tito. He send in jail Goli Otok Macedonians who were for independent Macedonia.
It is strangely how people forget that communist fighting against fascist.
Also I want refer that Yugoslavia was socialistic country, not communist.

Answer 6

To this day it is very hard for me to believe let alone accept that a Greek could actually be a Communist let alone a Socialist.

After the Hell the Greeks went through because of the commies, it is absolutely amazing that Greeks who are supposed to be intelligent people would actually entertain supporting Marxist/Stalinist doctrine. I mean it is sooooo EVIL.

In my mind these people are as evil as the Islamo Fascist Terrorist that would take away the freedom of every person on Earth.

God helps us. Please pray for these very very very EVIL people. God knows they need it desperately.
