In November 17, 1973, the Greek students of the Polytechnic University of Athens rise up against junta.


40 years later, Greece experiences another peculiar dictatorship. During the latest three years, human and labor rights are violated to a great extent, protests and strikes are criminalized more than ever, welfare state and social care brutally attacked by the neoliberal dictatorship. Samaras' government, totally faithful to the neoliberal doctrine, sacrifice everything for the big capital.


The Hellenic Public Broadcaster (ERT) shutdown in just one day, was the perfect verification of the government's dictatorial behavior, while big private media continue the propaganda in favor of the neoliberal systemic establishment.

Funny how this and the anti-austerity protests' commemoration of it got next to no coverage compared to the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. :glare:

NATO didn't do anything about the military junta in Greece which is not surprising but is quite hypocritical for criticising of USSR.
