The reply to the orchestrated propaganda of the capital through the media that it controls, can only be given through the communist press.

Only the revolutionary press reveals the capitalist exploitation, agitates and organizes the fight of the youth, shows the alternative, which is the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system, the conquest of power by the working class.

The Leninist teachings for the party newspaper and revolutionary press remains timely in the present circumstances. KNE will not able to play the role of a revolutionary youth organization of the Communist Party, without its own newspaper, organ of the Central Council. To specify, to ground the debate to the youth, to highlight the problems of youth and the way out.

The task of concentrating forces today in the struggle for the abolition of capitalist exploitation presupposes the struggle for the emancipation of the youth of the popular strata from the bourgeois politics and the opportunism.

To do so the tireless daily action of communists is required. It is an action, especially in the current complicated conditions, that cannot be completed without the study, the spreading of revolutionary press, the Marxist book.

Dear comrades

The use of the revolutionary press, its study by the members and friends of the Organization, the increase in the circulation of Odigitis and Rizospastis, the integration of the revolutionary press in guiding the daily work is a first priority task today for the Guiding Organs, the collectives of KNE. To ensure that Odigitis, it’s articles, the topics are becoming an object of agitation in areas of work and education. Without the journal of the party and KNE the communist is like going to war without weapons. The communists participate in the battles to win them; not to lose. Much more now, as the bourgeois and opportunistic propaganda can penetrate much more quickly to thousands of young people, that the ideological and political debate becomes every day more complex. Monitoring these developments no matter how complex they are, revealing their class essence, should be made through the press of the Communist Party and KNE. The minimum that every Communist must ensure in order to organise the political activity in the area that he intervenes is the study of the communist press. Only in this way the arguments of the communists will not go off, they will not dry away and be out of the overall developments. Only in this way, the communists will be able to see beyond the microcosm in which he acts and will acquire a more general perception.

Comrades,

We believe that such initiatives as the current seminar on the youth communist press should be more regular. We should exchange experience from the work carried out by CYO's on all fronts; make steps to the common action of the CYO's, in our coordination, for the strengthening of our own organizations. To become more capable to fight for the abolition of capitalist exploitation, for socialism-communism.

Thank you. -
