Markin comment:

Part of knowing what to do to forward the struggle in Greece today is to know some historical background of the struggle in the past. Here is a contribution from a POUM leftist in the Spanish Civil War period. The UGT was the Socialist-aligned trade union federation in Spain. The CNT the Anarchist (FAI)-aligned federation. The POUM and its militants had many faults, too many to be a revolutionary organization during that war but the commentator is dead on about the slogan of a purely trade union government- and why we oppose such a slogan. Victory to the Greek workers! Workers to Power!
