The Organization for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party of Greece (Greek: Οργάνωση για την Ανασυγκρότηση του Κομμουνιστικού Κόμματος Ελλάδας (ΟΑΚΚΕ), romanized: Orgánosi gia tin Anasigkrótisi tou Kommounistikoú Kómmatos Elládas), mostly known by its acronym OAKKE, is a minor Greek political party known for its strong anti-Russian positions. The Secretary of the Central Committee of OAKKE is Ilias Zafiropoulos.
OAKKE was established in 1985 and is part of the Greek far-left, and it stems from the multiple splits of the Greek Maoist movement. It is best known for its pro-industrialisation views, as it considers industrial growth a prerequisite for the development of the working class, which is required for the socialist revolution.[2][3][4][5]
Another political feature of OAKKE is its views regarding an alleged Russian conspiracy to corrupt the left and install its own world regime. They argue that Russian imperialism is today the main threat for all humanity, just like Adolf Hitler was in the 1930s and 1940s.[2][6] OAKKE supports the independence of Chechnya from Russia and sees Russia as the organizer of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[7]
