REBIRTH OF THE COMRADE TITANS
Mr Apostolovski once wrote (sic)
Rumour Mill? You are hilucinating Chalev. Aussie Macedonists? What is that? If you mean the Macedonian emigrants that identify as Macedonians, then so be it. Just you remember that in Australia the ratio of "Macedonists" to bugaromani is 99.99% to 0.01% in favour of the "Macedonists". The bugaromanski odrodi of your type, in Australia can be counted on one hand.
To the early Macedonian-Australians the terms Bulgarian and Macedonian were synonymous. However many of the children they left behind in Aegean Macedonian came under the influence of the communist movement. In the 1940s many became founding members of the "Yugoslav Party", but they later left (because they were devout Stalinists) and started to infiltrate the developing Macedonian groups, particularly in Melbourne. In the early 1950s they formed a strong alliance with the Greek Communist party and in the true sense of comradeship agreed to solve the Macedonian Question the only way possible (for them) - by propagation of internationalism. To achieve this noble aim, these comrade "Titans", after consulting their fellow Greek comrades, took a number of specific and important measures.
First, they insisted that they were not Greeks, not Bulgarians, not Serbians, not even Macedonians but - "Slav-Macedonians". You see they did not want to be confused with any other type of potential "Macedonian". And their language naturally was "Slav-Macedonian". Does all this just seem like a bad Dimitar Chupovski re-run? Lest some think these facts are incorrect, ample evidence, even for the likes of Apostolovski or his cronies, is available. The designation "Slav-Macedonians" was written on all issues of their newspaper and on petitions against the suppression of the "Slav-Macedonian" language in Greece. Lies, you say? Then look at the pictures. No, I do not falsify either.
Some 40 years later, these very same comrade "Titans", heroically led the gallant (gullible?) Macedonian masses onto the streets of Australian capital cities in protest at their official designation as, you guessed it, "Slav-Macedonians". I bet Apostolovski was right there alongside one of the bratsko "Titans".
Second, being communists, and naturally devout atheists, the comrade "Titans" felt that no resources should be expended on the spiritual needs of Australian Macedonians. After all there were plenty of churches they could go to. After repeated attempts by the community to have their own Church, a group took matters into their own hands and formed a Macedono-Bulgarian Church. The poor comrade "Titans" suddenly saw their attendances fall, but they did not give up so easy. A meeting was arranged between select members from the comrade "Titans", the Greek Archbishop and the Greek Ambassador. Top-dog comrade "Titan" tells the Greco-Archbishop,
"THIS CHURCH IS STEALING YOUR BRETHREN, WE WANT YOU TOThe Greeks try, but fail. So the comrade "Titans" eventually form their own private Church - "Church of the Latter Day Communist Macedonists". Kruschev was the Archbishop and Mao's Red Book was their bible. We hear that one of those same comrade "Titans", reported as attending the original Greek meeting, has even been given a "gold medal" (fools' gold?) by the Macedonian Orthodox Church for services rendered. And people say there is no God.
PUT A STOP TO IT. THEY SHOULD BE GOING TO YOUR GREEK CHURCH"
These are the roots of today's Australian Macedonian Movement that Apostolovski adores so much. Many of the young comrade "Titans" are still there, but now more aptly described as geriatric comrade "Titans". Even in their clearly vacant state, Apostolovski still relies heavily on these people for guidance and direction. This perhaps explains Apostolovski's eccentric mannerisms.
Here then is the "soul" of Apostolovski's Australian Macedonists and it's rotten right down to its hypocritical core. Like Apostolovski it lives in a communist "time warp" shrink-wrapped in a comatose state of "denial".
