Η Ηγεσία του Ευρωπαϊκού Πειρατικού Κόμματος Θέτει Εν Αμφιβόλω Το Δικαίωμα Των Πειρατών Να Ασκήσουν Κριτική Στα Κομματικά Στελέχη
Το Πειρατικό Κίνημα είναι, τουλάχιστον στα χαρτιά, ένα κίνημα που πρεσβεύει την ελευθερία του λόγου, της κριτικής, τη διαφάνεια και τη λογοδοσία όσων κατέχουν εξουσία, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και των κομματικών στελεχών. Η γενοκτονική εκστρατεία του Ισραήλ κατά της Γάζας, ωστόσο, ξεγύμνωσε την υποκρισία των ηγεμονικών δυνάμεων μέσα στο κίνημά μας. Υπήρξαμε μάρτυρες της υιοθέτησης και διάδοσης από τους πιο υψηλούς αξιωματούχους του Κόμματος Πειρατών Γερμανίας (Piratenpartei Deutschland – PPDE) ακροδεξιάς, ρατσιστικής, μισαλλόδοξης ρητορικής και θεωριών συνωμοσίας κατά των Παλαιστινίων και των μουσουλμάνων εν γένει. Τους είδαμε επίσης να διαδίδουν χυδαίες ψευδολογίες κατά της UNRWA και του Διεθνούς Ποινικού Δικαστηρίου.

The Leadership of The European Pirate Party Casts Doubt on Pirates’ Right to Criticize Party Officials
The Leadership of The European Pirate Party Casts Doubt on Pirates’ Right to Criticize Party Officials
The Pirate Movement is ostensibly a movement that stands for free speech, free criticism, free scrutiny, transparency and accountability of those in power, including party officials. Israel’s genocidal campaign against Gaza, however, laid bare the hypocrisy of the hegemonic powers within our movement. We witnessed some of the highest-ranking officers of the German Pirate Party (Piratenpartei Deutschland – PPDE) adopt and amplify far-right racist and bigoted rhetoric and conspiracy theories against the Palestinians and Muslims in general, as well as falsehoods against UNRWA and the International Criminal Court.

Quo Vaditis, Piratae? – Part 3
Translated from the original Greek-language post from September 2024.
Even before the 2024 European Elections, which were an unmitigated disaster for the Pirate Movement, reading the Flaschenpost, the official news apparatus of the German Pirate Party’s (Piratenpartei Deutschland – PPDE)’s Politburo, confirmed what we suspected from reading the X (formerly Twitter) posts of several prominent members and officials of the party. What primarily gave the game away was a collection of “analyses”, written by the party’s intelligentsia and several like-minded scribes, full of context-free, laced with islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism, justifications for the genocide against Palestinians and the theft of their lands committed by the Israeli Apartheid. The arguments put forward were grotesque in their similarity to those employed by collaborationist newspapers in countries occupied by Germany in WW2 in order to justify the wholesale massacres of entire villages in “retaliation” against resistance militias.
