OAKKE

OAKKE is the greek acronym for "Organization for the Reconstruction of the Communist Party of Greece" (Οργάνωση για την Ανασυγκρότηση του Κομουνιστικού Κόμματος Ελλάδας). It is a minor political party present in most of the nationwide Greek elections.

OAKKE 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. Another political feature of OAKKE is its views regarding an alleged Russian conspiracy to corrupt the left and install its own world regime.

In the 2004 elections for the European Parliament, OAKKE took part obtaining 5,090 votes (0,08% of the total Greek vote). OAKKE had once an alliance with the Macedonian minority activist party, Rainbow.
