I understand that Kokkino was a split from DEA (about 2004) yet remained always within Syriza. Do i understand from you that when/by the time Kokkino re-united with DEA (about 2013) much of Kokkino's membership had left to join the Tsipras majority? Unfortunately for me, i couldn't read the Kokkino website which is in Greek.

But it was during the 2009 split that a group has left kokkino to join the Tsipras majority. Of course we are just talking about a membership of dozens and not hundreds. Kokkino and DEA are now running a site named the R-Project: Panos Kosmas is one of them.

[Marxism] on Syriza: criticism of Varoufakis/Feb. 20 agreement from DEA/Left Platform
POSTING RULES NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Breathing space or a tighter stranglehold? by Panos Kosmas Socialist Worker (U.S.) March 12, 2015 Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras claims that the agreement with the Eurogroup finance ministers negotiated by Yanis Varoufakis will provide the new government, led by the Coalition of the Radical Left, or SYRIZA, with room to begin carrying out promised reforms to ease the country's humanitarian crisis. But critics on the left, led by SYRIZA's Left Platform, believe the agreement is a wholesale retreat from the party's commitment to reverse the austerity measures contained in the Memorandums agreed to by previous Greek governments in return for a bailout of the financial system by the Troika of the European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF). In this article in Workers Left, the newspaper of the Greek socialist group Internationalist Workers Left, a cofounder of SYRIZA and now part of the Left Platform, Panos Kosmas explains what the next four months will look like under the terms of the Eurogroup deal. http://socialistworker.org/2015/03/12/breathing-space-or-a-tighter-stranglehold [the information at Socialist Worker website does not specifically say that Kosmas is a member of Syriza, Left Platform or DEA. a quick search indicates that Kosmas may be a colleague of Stathis Kouvelakis at Kings College, London] _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
