Workers’ message of May Day

Workers’ message of May Day:

 

 

In Greece, May Day 2012, in such a deep crisis and five days before the elections, was particularly massive, combative and full of fighting spirit. Workers, students, organized peasants and women all around the country marched determined to go on struggle with PAME, the biggest workers’ confederation of Greece and the Communist Party of Greece. Thousands of people went to support workers and celebrate with them Workers day. In the region of Attica, people marching for May day, went to stand by metal workers in struggle, not just for symbolic or solidarity reasons to the metal workers on strike, but it was at the same time an essential act to show that the power of working class is always there where there is struggle, in working places. Class struggle is not just an empty word, as class struggle demand sacrifices, confrontation with the class that exploits them, class unity and determination. We must never forget that May Day teaches us, in Greece and all around the world, that workers’ conquests, workers’ rights are not presents given by capitalists. Workers rights were obtained after waging long and hard struggles and sometimes even whole generations were sacrificed. These conquests were not obtained after social dialog with employers and compromises. On the contrary, when actually, working class under influence compromised it marked only losses and failures.

 

At the gate of Metal industry and everywhere in Greece, Workers’ message this May day was clear and loud: organisation and struggle against monopoles, class and determined trade unions, whose activities focus, concentrated and start from every working places, factories and companies. Solidarity and coordination, was established under the banner of ‘One for all and all for one’. This struggle is even more needed because even after elections, plutocratic oligarchy and politicians that serve them are preparing their knives to attack again and again working class. A new anti-workers tempest is arriving and workers are ready to fight. This is not only a tensed situation but a war without weapons. Workers are ready to react and struggle with PAME and the party. Only class and people-oriented organisations can guarantee the right way and direction, so that it will be more assertive and massive.

 

Workers and people must not trust those forces that betray them and divide them so that always to serve the capitalist and oligarchy: The real and only diachronic dilemma is ‘either with the capital or with the workers’. That was workers’ message and the truth, knowing that this is the hard way to go but this is their own and independent way. They all promised to stand up and go on irreconcilably. Even if the 7th of May, after this strange and peculiar elections, things will not seem to change because we notice also that capitalist know how to break movements and struggles by creating new organisations and parties, at the ‘left’ to concur the communist party such as DIMAR (democratic left), a faction from SYRIZA (trotskyist) created lately and of SYRIZA that until lately did not really have a deeply different political positions from PASOK or Nea Dimokratia. These elections will be also very curious because according to the polls, for the first time, Hrisi avgi (golden dawn), a fascist extreme right party, is likely to enter the government with at least 5%. According to the polls, the ‘left‘ parties such as the communist party, DIMAR and SYRIZA will get between 9 and 10% each , PASOK 14-15%  the neoliberal socialist party (lowered considerably) and Nea Democratic (the neo liberal right wing) 22%. Actually, the most trustworthy, assertive and always defending workers since the begging in of their foundation is the communist party. All the demonstrations and meetings are a real ‘sea of people’ gathered around PAME and the party. For workers’ organisation and party the struggle goes on!
