In response to the recent addition to the libcom library of a text which rather uncritically supports the patriotic and Stalinist 'Resistance' movement in Greece during World War II ("A short history of the Andartiko - the Greek Resistance partisans who fought against Italian and German fascist occupation."
libcom.org/history/1941-1945-andartiko-the-greek-resistance), the ICC has written an article which recalls the internationalist position on the war: opposition to both imperialist camps, and to the proto-state set up by the 'Resistance'. This position was propagated with particular clarity in Greece itself by the group around Stinas. Our article can be found here:

Yes , I was rather concerned about the "rather uncritical " tone of the original article. Bear in mind that the Greek anarchosyndicalist Kostantinos Speras was beheaded by a unit led by an ELAS kapetan.
But don't bother ICC, if you're drooling over another potential recruit from the petty bourgeois anarchist swamp. I'm not particularly impressed by Stinas remaining in the Communist Party until 1931 ( it apparently hadn't gone over to the bourgeois camp yet- ha!)or by the Stinas group waiting until 1946 (!)to leave the Fourth International. I don't buy the apologies that the Stinas group weren't aware of the 4I's real position on the defence of the Soviet Union until the end of the War.
