*Defend The Greek May 5th General Strike- Free All Protesters- The Greek Working Class Must Rule

Click on headline to link to a "New York Times" report on the situation in Greece in the aftermath of the May 5th General Strike.

Markin comment:

All international leftists and labor militants must stand today in solidarity with the Greek working class and their allies. Greece is at the "epicenter" of the world revolution today. These chances have not, and do not, come all that often so the Greek militants must see this through to the end. And we must support those efforts.

The general strike merely poses the question of state power- who shall rule. The situation calls for the creation of workers councils to contest the struggle for power from below. The number one priority today toward that goal is to dump the IMF austerity program, and to dump those in the Greek Parliament who are voting in favor of it, including the parliamentary 'socialists" who lead the government. Free all class war prisoners! Free all protesters!
