Source-derived summary

The Movement for the Reorganization of the Communist Party of Greece 1918–1955 (Greek: Κίνηση για την Ανασύνταξη του ΚΚΕ 1918–1955), is an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party in Greece. It is better known as Anasintaxi (Reorganization).

History

Anasintaxi was established in 1996. It is a Marxist–Leninist organization which struggles for the union of all Greek communists in one Marxist–Leninist–Stalinist party. It occurred from the union of small Marxist–Leninist groups such as Movement for a United Communist Party of Greece and Post-Soviet Epoch mainly consisted of exiled Greek communists from the former Soviet Union and old EAM-ELAS soldiers and officers.

The members of Anasintaxi claim that today's KKE has no relation with the party before its destalinization in the period 1955–1956, and that the new party's leaders betrayed Nikos Zachariadis, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) until 1955. In order to make a distinction between the old party and the new party that arose after 1955, they refer to today's KKE as "K"KE or "K"KE('56), adding scare quotes around the first K, which corresponds to the word communist.

In contradiction with other anti-revisionist organisations, Anasintaxi uses regularly the term Stalinism. The movement criticized Ludo Martens as a revisionist and defender of Mikhail Gorbachev, and his book Another View of Stalin as a fundamentally anti-Stalin book.

The organization publishes a biweekly four-page newspaper called Anasintaxi.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “greek communist party” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3866643. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1918, 1955, 1996 and 1956.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
