WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE GREECE - news journal UPDATE - (en) Greece, Protaanka: FEBRUARY 28: ANTI-CRATIC STRIKE RISE (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 February 28 marks two years since the state and capitalist crime in

Tempi. A premeditated crime that the railway workers warned was about to
happen, only to receive as a response the now emblematic statement of
callousness and obscenity, "it is a shame to raise safety issues." A
crime with a tragic toll of 57 dead and hundreds of injured, one of whom
is still in a coma today. ---- The Tempi crime is one of the most
blatant and tragic examples that demonstrate the complete disregard for
human life in the face of the profits of the capitalists and the state.
This realization, whether conscious or not, has created a deep rift of
anger and doubt within society, which is increasingly acute and
manifests itself as a torrent of popular indignation in the streets and
squares. A large part of society thinks that they, their children or
their loved ones could have been on this train, concluding with the
above realization and seeking answers and punishment for the perpetrators.

But who are the culprits of this crime? The outdated and criminal
operation of the railway network was and is a conscious choice of all
the memorandum governments, in conjunction with the directives of the
European Union and the memorandum institutions of fiscal supervision as
well as with the signature of the giant company HellenicTrain. They were
the ones who implemented the memorandum-based "reorganization" of the
country's public infrastructure, cutting funding wherever they could in
order to service the gigantic state debt, they were the ones who sold
off rail transport to HellenicTrain in order to "save" themselves from
the dissolved and over-indebted OSE, they were the ones who dragged out
the implementation of the 717 contract for years and let the trains run
blindly without remote control, without signaling, without the automatic
immobilization system, and so on. The entire government and political
staff of the country for decades have put their signature and are guilty
of the crime in Tempi.

During these two years, we have witnessed the continuous misery of the
state and capital, the government arrogance and the media vulgarity. The
blatant attempt to cover up and falsify information regarding the Tempi
crime (filing, interference with audio, videos that appear by magic),
the scandalous collaboration between the state and big (illegal or not)
capital, the targeting of the victims' relatives by various political
and television garbage, but also the attempt to disorient and obscure
the political responsibilities that burden the above culprits, either by
targeting individual and therefore expendable individuals or by
searching for the culprits in "invisible centers of power" have made the
anger a boiling cauldron.

After 2 years, through a "landmark" general strike, the working class,
the youth, the lower social strata, the vast majority of society that
does not have wealth and positions, we have the opportunity to show them
our real power on the street, paralyzing the capitalist operation
throughout the country and bringing millions of people down en masse and
militantly in strike demonstrations and anger rallies. This dynamic
scares them and that is clear. That is why the government is unleashing
its far-right cadres to unleash "toxicity", that is why the opposition
is talking about "fear of provocation" and that is why the entire
bourgeois political system is calling for a "peaceful demonstration",
spreading the idea that supposedly, "episodes" are beneficial, calling
on the people of the demonstration to eat each other so that the
checkers can do their murderous work undisturbed.

It is evident that the delegitimized political system of the country is
entering a new cycle of deep instability and decomposition. Despite the
opposing declarations of "stability", of the restoration of "normality"
and the post-memorandum myths of "development" and the end of the
crisis, reality itself, as expected, is the one that ultimately destroys
the regime's narratives. The reality that is reflected daily in the
living conditions of millions of people, in the deaths in labor camps
and at sea and land borders, in wages and their disappearance on
supermarket shelves, in rents and bills, in the dismantling of public
structures by "beneficial" privatizations and the crushed social and
labor rights. This "reality" is what will be confronted next Friday with
the lies and mockery of an entire system that is only represented by a
handful of exploiters and rulers.

For the "reality" of our class to defeat the "reality" of exploitation
and injustice, it is important to look to tomorrow as well.

A dynamic strike in itself, a grand gathering of anger, even a day of
rebellion that the government and the opposition avoid and do everything
to prevent, is not enough. The parasites of the state and capital will
stop ravaging our lives only when their system is overthrown. The
"punishment" of some individuals (undoubtedly disproportionate even in
the eyes of the world) by their own institutions, the fall of the
government to be replaced by the "other" bastards, the electoral
instrumentalization of the demonstrations, are what the entire political
system expects and are what they want to spread as goals in order to
manipulate our anger and rearrange and normalize the political map again
through its assimilation and integration into the party political game.

The "next day" should find us on the streets and in social and class
struggles, in unions and popular assemblies, in struggle initiatives and
in the organization of our counterattack in every political, class and
social field of struggle, always in the direction of the revolutionary
perspective and overthrow, in the direction of organizing and creating a
revolutionary movement that will crush them.
