Communist Party of Greece NI
Flag of Greece Greece Left Eurosceptic Founded 1918

The KKE is a Marxist-Leninist cadre party in Greece. As one of Europe's oldest and most orthodox communist parties, it strives for the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist social order.

Values and Ideology
The KKE's worldview is rooted in historical materialism. It understands politics as a class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. In its analysis, the state is considered an instrument of the ruling class that must be replaced through revolutionary transformation. Central to its ideology are common ownership of the means of production and a centrally planned economy. The KKE rejects reformism and insists on the irreconcilability of class interests, positioning itself as the vanguard of the working class.

Political Priorities
The KKE advocates for a radical break from international alliances such as the EU and NATO, which it views as imperialist tools. Its agenda includes the nationalization of key industries, substantial wage increases, and the expansion of the welfare state, alongside the cancellation of national debt. It primarily targets industrial workers, precarious employees, and farmers. In its daily activities, through its close ties to the trade union front PAME, it mobilizes for strikes and mass protests against privatizations and austerity measures.

Role in the Political System
Within the Greek political system, the KKE operates as a consistent opposition force, categorically rejecting coalitions with bourgeois or social democratic parties. It primarily uses parliament as a platform for its agitation, but views true political change as stemming from extra-parliamentary mobilization and mass struggle. Its relationship with the rule of law is characterized by distrust, as it considers its institutions to be guardians of capitalist relations and aims to overcome the existing order.
