The reformist socialists supported their respective national governments in the war, a fact that was seen by the revolutionary socialists as outright treason against the working class (since it betrayed the principle that the workers of all nations should unite in overthrowing capitalism).

Indeed, during the colonels' regime he led an active anti-junta movement in Europe and the United States known as PAK (Panhellenic Liberation Movement) that was decidedly anti-colonel and critical of any nation which helped the colonels stay in power.
The emphasis was decidedly socialistic, although many foreign observers wondered whether Greek socialism was going to follow a Western European model--mainly, honoring civil liberties and democratic processes as guaranteed by the constitution of 1974--or a third world model of socialism which could move the country in the direction of a single party state.
