Last weekend (11th & 12th April) Tantquil hosted a talk by "Andreas" from their communisateurs comrades in the Greek group  Blaumachen in Lyon and Marseille. They conveniently forgot to mention that Woland, the main theoretician of Blaumachen and a frequent contributor to the international communisation review Sic, had entered the Syriza government as a minister. Woland , after having spent some  odd years devising odd theories about the “era of riots” and the rise of the new revolutionary (non-)subject, had  found something more profitable to do: discarding his nom de guerre he   became Syriza’s Secretary General of the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure, Maritime Affairs and Tourism, Director of the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank and Alternate Governor of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, under his real name Manousos Manousakis. And all this movement of de-communisation in just a few months. As recently as January this year Woland   was   a leading member of the Marxist discussion group on the state mentioned in the announcement of   "Andreas"'s discussion on Syriza last weekend.   No members of Blaumachen or the Marxist discussion group on the state have so far publicly criticized their comrade, Woland, in Greece for his political choice to become a capitalist state functionary (in fact, a high rank state functionary involved in privatizations and capital investment plans). It is important to note that all members of these two groups knew about his political relationships with Syriza since 2012, and in the political mentality of the communisation milieu.

One of this ex-communiser’s many duties is to find the right government policy proportion of commons to privatizations, workers’ rights to capitalist investments.The fact that he is also vice president of the two-thirds privatised Greece Telecom as well as the guy Syriza has put in charge of Telecommunications is already becoming a bit of a scandal in Greece’s mainstream media – “a conflict of interests” as the pretension to State neutrality phrases it.  But up until the publication  in English of "The Minister of Sic"   (http://dialectical-delinquents.com/the-minister-of-sic/ ) on April 13th   it had been neither a scandal nor a “conflict of interests” amongst the ultra-lefthargic communisers of Sic and Blaumachen. Even since, they have merely - and only since the publication of the text  just last Monday - broken their silence with the declaration that "Manos / Woland made a choice, which was neither that of T.C., Sic, blaumachen", as if individual choice exists outside of historical and social influences, as if this choice wasn't already implicit in this communisateur theoretician's relationships with Syriza in 2012, and in the politcal mentality of the communisateur milieu. 
The original announcement of the event read "Discussion avec Blaumachen, des communistes grecques. Organise par la revue Tantquil pour causer de la situation economique, et sociale en Grece et aussi des luttes en cours. Les textes de Blaumachen sont sonsultables sur internet et notamment sur le site de DNDF ou de Badkids". But since the publication of "The Minister of Sic" all mention of Blaumachen has been erased from the announcement (it should be added, that they had been informed of the connection between Woland and Blaumachen 3 - 4 days before these meetings). Undoubtedly many of the people in Tantquil have not been made aware of this petty re-writing of history, designed to hide their embarassment  about Woland becoming a leading state politician. But the kind of relationships inherent in this "theoreticianist" milieu had certainly encouraged the possiblity of such a "betrayal", as such "theory" never involved any exigency to some practical consequences, and even allowed them to keep utterly silent about Woland's involvement with Syriza. One could say a lot more, but, for those who read English, I suggest they read the text and the comments  here: http://dialectical-delinquents.com/the-minister-of-sic/
