		Velouchiotis at first was addressed to the traditional "listes" (mountain living bandits, armed against police and state) like Karalivanos, in order to create a small group of experts in guerilla fighting and survival in the harsh mountain conditions.
		Aris Velouchiotis formed a group of 30-35 men, called "Mavroscoufides" (those who wear fl berets), who were his personal guards.
		One reason was that Aris had signed a statement of denunciation of KKE, while jailed and tortured in Corfu by the Ioannis Metaxas dictatorship, which had resulted to his release from prison.

		Aris Velouchiotis formed a group of 30-35 men, called "Mavroscoufides"(those who wear fl berets), who were his personal guards.
		In fact this was a plan to isolate ELAS from his captain, because the leaders of KKE this period didn't feel with Aris, because Aris had signed a statement of denunciation of the KKE, while jailed and tortured in Corfu by the Ioannis Metaxas dictatorship, which had resulted to his release from prison.

		On the other hand, however, part of the Greek public see Aris as the perpetrator of brutal mass atrocities against defenseless rural populations perceived as negative to their "socialist cause", attacks against non-communist Greek resistance forces, and insurgency against the installed government after Greece had been liberated from the Nazis.

		My shirt is too orange, my shorts are too purple and holding my daughter I feel like a fool in the company of these old men who have fought for their beliefs and for their livlihoods in harder times.
		I notice on the wall two portraits of Aris Velouchiotis, the communist guerilla leader and hero who harrassed the Germans and helped liberate the country after WWII, only to be hunted down and killed by the army of the right-wing government that the British and Americans decided should rule after the occupation.
		A communist Greece was not part of the post war vision the great powers had in mind so in what could be called the beginning of the Cold War, the Americans supplied the money and the weapons in a bloody fight that pitted brother against brother and tore villages and families apart.

		They were supported by the andartes who were so-called guerrilla bands led on the one hand by Kapetanios Aris Velouchiotis of the leftwing ELAS and on the other hand by a former officer of the Greek army, Napoleon Zervas, commander of the rightwing EDES.
		This decision, taken by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), was announced by Tasos Lefterias, Velouchiotis’ second-in-command, to the leadership of ELAS when they were gathered in the village of Marmara near Lamia on the Greek national day (March 25).
		Several days later, the author’s father and 33 German and 16 Italian soldiers and civilians were captured by ELAS freedom fighters and locked in a school house in Kolokythia, a village high up in the mountains near Lamia.

	Cornelius Castoriadis - 1922-1997 (by John Barker) \| libcom.org
		He was someone who had helped give me and many other comrades in the late 1960s the confidence to be libertarian socialists, but by 1993 I also knew many Greeks whose fathers and uncles had been murdered as communists by British-backed death squads in the period after 1945.
		I asked him about this in the taxi but he said it had all, all of it, Velouchiotis too, been Stalinist bullshit, that it was like that long before the return of the psychotic Nikos Zachariades.
		I do not know what then it can have meant to be a Trotskyist in 1942-5 Greece, but am sure it would have been quite possible to be on the two death-lists of both sides.
