GENERAL STRIKE 17/4 | EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE! HEALTH, EDUCATION, FOOD, 
SHELTER ---- Organization and struggle for the Social Revolution ---- In 
the midst of a deep overall systemic crisis, the state capitalist system 
accelerates restructurings that target every manifestation of social 
life, devaluing basic social needs, work, health, education, housing, 
transportation. The state, faithful to the neoliberal model followed 
since the years of the memorandum in the Greek area, continues to 
intensify social and class exclusions and to increase the cost of living 
at even more intensive rates, while uninsured and precarious work, 
flexible hours, intensification of work, privatization and management by 
the bosses of all our basic needs are signs that respond to capitalism's 
need to exacerbate class inequality and completely devalue our lives. 
This is exactly what will remind us, in the worst way, of the 
unspeakable tragedy in Tempe 1 year ago with the murder of 57 people. 
This crime that happened in Tempe was a premeditated murder with the 
Greek state and private capital to blame. With the sell-off of TRAINOSE 
to Italian investors (under SYRIZA) and the return of decommissioned 
trains to Switzerland, the government's ditherings about upgrading the 
railways followed. The upgrade they advertised included: outdated or 
non-existent maintenance and control systems and an understaffed 
workforce. And while the workers themselves had warned through press 
releases and out-of-court hearings to the authorities and had made 
successive mobilizations and strikes (which were deemed illegal and 
abusive by the civil justice), for the improvement of the network and 
for additional recruitments, things remained as they had So, this is 
what the "upgrade" in privatization means: To play with the lives of 
passengers and crown workers, since no money is going to be given for 
control, prevention and people's safety. So when our lives are counted 
as one more expense in the budget of the state and capital, we are 
talking about prescribed murders - neither accidents, nor "human 
errors", nor "bad timing". The criminals of the Ministry of Transport, 
the management of Hellenic Train and the entire state apparatus that 
contributed to this murder will be held to account with the entire 
social base, the organized movement and its resistances.
The further looting of the social base is done by the giantization of 
precision in basic goods of everyday life, while at the same time the 
meager wages and daily wages are not enough to cover the cost of living, 
leading the great social majority to the risk of destitution. The 
increases in the prices of products in supermarkets, which make the 
coverage of absolutely necessary needs such as food, with a typical 
example of baby milk and olive oil, a bet, are the result of the 
intensified attack of the bosses with the aim of constantly maximizing 
their profits in weight of the plebeians. At the same time, both the 
cost of commuting due to the increase in fuel prices and heating, as a 
result of the criminal and extortionate policy of the energy cartel, is 
increasing.
To this condition of the obsolescence of basic needs is added the 
housing issue, with the exorbitant amounts of rent and the auctions of 
first homes by funds and servicers, which result in either people 
spending most of their salary to rent a home or to be thrown on the 
street. The shattered health landscape, with the dissolution and 
privatization of the NHS, the mergers and closures of hospital units, 
addiction facilities, primary health facilities and children's 
hospitals, the postponement of planned surgeries and treatments, 
increases in drug prices and commercialization of health services which 
opens the door to all kinds of profiteers, comes to further exacerbate 
social and class exclusions, leaving out those who cannot respond 
financially, with immediate risk to their health. At the same time, the 
new law on "Free Universities" introduced by the government of ND comes 
to seal the absolute commercialization of education, since the 
recognition of private institutions - even as branches of supposedly 
large institutions abroad, in the main body of the education provided 
validates the privatization of yet another public good. The essence of 
the overall anti-social restructuring is thus more clearly highlighted, 
which is, on the one hand, the continuous increase in the rates of 
violence by the state and the bosses at the expense of the social and 
class base, and on the other, the crushing of collective resistance, the 
terrorizing and disciplining of society for the unhindered advance of 
state and capitalist brutality. From the attempted privatization of 
public health and education, the hundreds of workers maimed and murdered 
each year in the ravages of wage slavery to first home auctions, 
squatter evictions, prosecutions and disciplinary actions for union 
action, state terrorism and the killings by cops make evident the 
state's anti-social agenda aimed at the complete plundering of the lives 
of the great social majority on the altar of power, control and profit 
of the political and economic bosses.
Against state and capitalist restructurings of exclusions, subjugation 
and repression, the devaluation of our lives, impoverishment and 
oppression, against states and bosses that oppress our lives to 
intensify social and class struggles. Let us all stand together on the 
road and struggles of social resistance and class solidarity. To fight 
collectively and from below against our oppressors, to strengthen and 
guard the social and class resistances that are the target of repression 
and to organize new ones.
Without having any illusions about the role of institutions, without 
offering any consent in the management of our lives, without taking a 
single step back from what we have conquered and which are constantly at 
stake and making the spaces where we work, study and live centers of 
resistance and match. The only prospect for a society of equality, 
solidarity and freedom, without exploitation and oppression, lies in our 
own hands, in the struggle for social and class emancipation. The SOCIAL 
REVOLUTION.
