They didn't wrest control from the capitalists for very long, but a decent first step.

About 20 young protesters have briefly occupied a studio at Greek state television's offices as part of protests against the death of a 15-year-old boy who was shot by police on December 6.
The NET channel briefly aired images of the protesters holding up a banner in the studio reading, "Stop watching television and get out on the streets," before cutting away to advertisements for three minutes.
The interrupted programme then picked up again with the presenter making no reference to the incident.
"They came peacefully. There was no force used and they asked to protest on the air about the 15-year-old's killing," a police official, who asked not to be identified, said.
Christos Panagopoulos, NET's chairman, said the protesters had violently forced their way into the studio. "This goes beyond any limit,'' he said.
