urgh.

Greece's eurozone creditors are demanding that the government in Athens introduce a six-day working week as part of the stiff terms for the country's second bailout.

Those who delude themselves into denying the contradictions inherent in capitalism tend to place blame on the character of the working class with regards to protracted economic turmoil.

The workers in Greece seriously need to stop working altogether, and let the whole damn world economy burn.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

This points to the failure of the Greek left so far in leading the fightback.

[REDSOX]

It just gets worse and worse and worse for the greek working and middle classes. So now they will have to work longer get less money see their pensions and benefits slashed and their country privatised. This is ultra neo liberalism and is an abomination. To make things worse we have neo nazis rampaging around the country beating up immigrants left right and center. And most of the left stands pat!!! Maybe this latest attack will get them to unite and fight

[Le Socialiste]

It'll likely happen too - providing yet another rallying point around which the organized left can reach out to and bring in more people disaffected by the ongoing crisis. Any serious organization worth its salt should be actively organizing against measures such as these, offering a genuine, realizable alternative as a counter to the more blatantly fascist right. Obviously, the primary bone of contention in our movement consists of who is the most organized, theoretically and politically, amongst the Greek left; including how it has worked around and through existing crises and social movements to turn what has been an uptick in struggle into a concerted drive for power. Actions similar to the demands of the troika have given the left in Greece enormous room to maneuver around, the question is who is willing and capable enough to do so.
