#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #GREECE #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) anarkismo.net: Greece, The needs of our class ahead by alerta (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

 In defiance of all the above, the subversive movement is called upon to defend

the social needs and interests of the working class and the rest of the
impoverished strata, when they are devalued in such extreme weather conditions.
Against privatizations, the business interests of contractors, the devaluation of
public infrastructure and the crushing of labor acquis, the exploiters will have
to follow the path of claim and struggle. ---- Against snowfalls, cages and
misery: The needs of our class ahead ---- The bad weather and heavy snowfall in
Greece in recent days, have once again highlighted the real face and priorities
of the so-called "staff state". Thousands of people waited helplessly and trapped
in the streets, workplaces and their homes, without any relief effort. The urban
bloc of domination, fully aware of the weather conditions, for a week now, has
not started the slightest procedures to prevent the criminal condition that the
social base has experienced in the last days.

Heavy snowfall created a communication and traffic "confucius", pushing thousands
of people into despair. Drivers remained trapped with their cars on Attiki and
the National Road, passengers of the MMM as in TRAINOSE SA. and city / intercity
buses, remained stationary for hours in the "middle of nowhere". Exhausted people
were forced to abandon their vehicles and walk miles in the snow to reach their
homes or find accommodation. To their knowledge, the state and capital sent the
workers to the workplaces on Monday instead of declaring on the spot, a general
suspension of work and to operate only the most urgent services, such as
hospitals. Delivery workers found in the "eye of the cyclone",forced to work
under cold temperatures and on a snowy road, on which their motorcycles were
constantly slipping.

The class of exploiters has been tested by a variety of extreme weather phenomena
in recent years, which in the public sphere are baptized as "disasters". In
reality, however, floods, fires and snowfalls become dangerous through the
criminal indifference of the rulers, to human life and the natural world. Taking
the necessary protection measures, building the appropriate infrastructure and
strengthening the services for such emergencies, are for them costly investments,
which stand in the way of their civil interests and profitability. As it is
lawful to perpetuate the bourgeois system of human-to-human exploitation, the
recruitment of cops and security forces is the law of wood and chemicals to
working firefighters who claim the obvious,

But beyond the confusion of traffic and the confinement of the working people, we
must put in the equation and the weakness of the poorest strata, to survive in
basic conditions, in such extreme weather conditions. Product price increases,
rising prices for electricity, oil and other fuels, have pushed much of the
social base into misery. Most of them are unable to warm themselves, in the
middle of a severe winter, while there are many cases of households that have
been engulfed in flames by braziers and other heating substitutes. There are also
many cases of people who can not meet their housing needs and sleep on the
streets of metropolises. With public housing auctions taking place, many people
unable to pay their rent,

In defiance of all the above, the subversive movement is called upon to defend
the social needs and interests of the working class and the rest of the
impoverished strata, when they are devalued in such extreme weather conditions.
Against privatizations, the business interests of contractors, the devaluation of
public infrastructure and the crushing of labor acquis, the exploiters will have
to follow the path of claim and struggle. With a view to the revolutionary
transformation of productive social relations and the overthrow of the
state-capitalist system, which is responsible for the looting of the physical
world on the altar of profit, the arbitrary chaotic construction of urban centers
and the devaluation of the needs of the social base ,which all together lead to
an imbalance of the environmental system and to mass deaths. Taking initiatives
from the social base itself, such as networks and structures of solidarity and
mutual aid, is necessary to prevent in the first year the death policy of the
urban bloc of domination, which has shown us since its birth that it is
indifferent and often openly hated. human life.
