Why is the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) still so popular?

This party currently holds 15 seats in the Greek parliament. Even after all these years and Communism's proven flaws, this disease is still so popular in Greece. Why?

They get all their votes from Athens and Greek Islands.

Athens are all poor students and Islands are all old people.

Because economic neoliberalism is also proved to be a flaw and Greeks don't know what to do to escape the liberal madness Europe imposed on them?

I haven’t read their platform but I’m willing to bet that they’re not like a hardcore Maoist Party. As such disillusioned youth in urban areas who study in university and nostalgic old people probably vote for them. You also have to remember that a lot of Greeks were angry about austerity and that up until recently, they had a left wing social democrat/socialist government.

It's not a recent phenomena. They have had seats in parliament consistently since the 1970s. They were founded in 1918.

Yeah I know I was just rationalizing as to why they still have a substantial number of seats today.

Correct.

Communists in Greece are delusioned they're only Communist by name.. their main mantra is social justice, workers right, anti imperialism or that percieved nature that's why theyre so aggressively anti U.S, anti EU basically anti anti.

Dont replace one evil with another evil.

Greece should just abide by it's constitution where it says that it's Orthodox Christian nation.

Neoliberalism/Communism isn't compatible with strict Christian laws.

Problem is, Greece is less than puppet. It's a nation completely controlled by satanists who rule the world.
