Not that this matters all that much, but "Peoples of Europe Rise Up!" is perfectly acceptable in English. It only implies many peoples (ie nations), as opposed to one people of Europe. Personally, I think it's a great banner.
But on this topic: LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTIONARY WORKERS OF GREECE! LONG LIVE THE KKE! I stand speechless at these developments, seeing the workers rise up against capitalist crimes is endlessly inspiring.
Just now,for the second time after December revolt, St.James(another hood in Athens) town hall is also occupied.

FYI,you are learning this things maybe faster than the majority of Greeks.Ain internet a *****?
Few examples of "leftist" anticommunism. If you want to fight against KKE better stop pretending to be "leftist" and pro-workers - you are only defending capitalism and status quo. BRUSSELS and WASHINGTON are looking for people like you.
KKE is a geniuine militant working class organisation and luckily keeps away all sort of ultraleftist youth. Best wishes in your struggle, comrades! Long life KKE!
Its like listening to the average KNE(KKE's youth) member!
Ex minister of New Democracy got yogurt'ed in the street.
He made the front lines when it came out that he had made an off shore corp. to avoid taxes.He even had said to a TV station that "whatever is legal,is moral", phrase that is now a famous moto against politicians.
Damn ultra leftists and their fears of gulags. If the KKE wants gulags it is obviously for the best of the working class!
What do you get if you put one communist in a room? A party.
What do you get if you put two communists in a room? Three splinter groups.
Because they totally want gulags.
What's the matter Lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?
I don't really think the people circlejerking here are the ultraleftists.
That said, all support to the workers of Greece, and here's hoping they're able to break the clutches of GSEE and other tentacles of capitalism.
another town hall got occupied.New Ionia's hall workers put the thunder flag on!
How is the situation outside of Athens? Most of the stuff I'm seeing is within Athens but not so much news outside. I've only seen one sob story from a petit-bourgeoisie complaining about "troublesome youth" messing up his neighborhood.
"Peoples" makes perfect sense in English.
This is interesting and good news, keep us all updated.
Comrade AttackGr has been providing the bulk of the news. This minor diversion has not obstructed that flow.
The situation in all the country is like a vutane can on fire.Its just matter of time to explode.
I m not mentioning stuff like leaflets,or banners,or an event.There are plenty of them everyday.If you take a look in athens indymedia calendar,there are 381 events(movie projections,concerts,book presentations,etc) for April.
Athens never the less,as the biggest city in the country,is the center of attention.
You wouldnt happen to have any more information on whats going on in the northern parts of Greece, in particular Thessaloniki? I heard there were some riots there on May 1st, but I havent been able to get any more information, and its a bit hard, seeing as I dont know Greek.
In thesaloniki,nothing much really.things that here in Greece are happening easy, some molotovs,some stones,2000 people.
there was an arson in a bank the other day...
but other than that,nothing.
BBC reporting 3 dead, has a video of attempts to storm parliament:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8662117.stm
200.000 on the streets,3 dead in a burned bank.
I ll come later with details

Until noon, this was the proudest day in Greece for decades. Hundreds of thousands in the streets of Athens, the croud roaring, many people who probably had been forced to work were sticking their heads out of company windows to sneak a peek.
I practically got goosebumps when everyone broke out chanting "Thieves" and "Burn the brothel" in front of the parliament. That was the work of workers.
But all we'll be talking for the next days is the works of some people too ashamed to show their faces, too "wild" to answer to anyone, too "free" to act in unison with everyone else.
I won't even bother to think about whether they were "agents", "provocateurs" or whatever. They can just as well be anarchists or anyone else who views carelessly burning buildings that could have people in as a form of class struggle.
What I do know though is that they are criminally stupid.
Everyone's sad these people died -except the government despite their teary eyes- and people will be shocked by it for at least a while. But I don't think they're quite willing to surrender to capital just yet.
...We shall never recognise equality with the peasant profiteer, just as we do not recognise “equality” between the exploiter and the exploited, between the sated and the hungry, nor the “freedom” for the former to rob the latter. And those educated people who refuse to recognise this difference we shall treat as whiteguards, even though they may call themselves democrats, socialists, internationalists, Kautskys, Chernovs, or Martovs.

What does the local media say? Who did it?
If it turns out that indeed some anarchists did it, that will be a heavy blow to the struggle of the Greek people..
How are things at the parliament building?
Latest video reports showed mass of people in front of it, could the protesters actually capture/overthrow the government? Is that even feasible?
Or has it been already secured like a fortress?
Thank you in advance for every bit of news, we are all following these recent developments closely.
Media tends to downplay these events, so news from the scene is very valuable.
