Has the KKE made involvement with mass organizations part of their strategy? In particular, mass organizations other than unions?

One million workers are about 1/10th of the population in Greece… that’s a lot of people. How has the KKE been doing in terms of elevating the ideologically intermediate to the advanced?

Sounds like someone needs to read up on the Maoist idea of the "mass line". This theory serves as a Marxist justification for why organized participatory democracy is rational and productive.

The United States government massages the accounting behind it’s unemployment rate to cover up chronic underemployment. Yet you feel like you have the right to say other countries lie about their statistics? That’s textbook projection.

I have no empirical evidence to back this up, but the answer probably lies in the fact that socialist development consciously attempts to preserve social cohesion and promote pro-social behavior. In concrete terms, it’s generally easier to find community in socialist countries than in capitalist ones.
