I still today remember the loud chants, us, second-year disillusioned socialist youths of the University of Athens in 1980 were singing towards the side of the Communist devotees of the Communist Party Youth (the “fateful” KNE): “Your next (annual) festival should be held in Kabul…” We were ridiculing the “internationalist” fever of the communists, a trait that the Left has very little changed even today. Little did we understand then that the failed involvement of the Soviet superpower in Afghanistan would be considered by historians today among the top causes for the fall of Communism in the 1980s (the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989). As “socialists” we generally believed in social justice but our “world view” was practically never wide enough to encompass such hard-left ideas as the “the international worker’s movement”. Hindsight clarity leads me now to believe that we were much closer to Christianity than to the machinations of Trotsky and the internationalist “class struggle” leaders.
