I think the Greeks should strike until the world gives them trillions of dollars to stop.
Which will never happen.
I hate unions.
“...to protest against austerity measures...
.
What do they expect to accomplish with the strikes when the country is broke? Someone enlighten me, please.
What "struggle"... you pathetic spoiled piece of modern Euro-s***? You and your socialist coherts in the leisure class have never struggled in your entire lives. You have no idea what a struggle is a- you've been leeching off of others for a generation now.
Three dead? Once they start killing and firebombing, they become a danger to the innocent and need to be dealt with in an EXTREMELY harsh manner - like being shot through the melon on sight.

“In Marxist theory, the Communist Party represented the interests of productive workers, the value of whose labor is expropriated by others. That was wrong, but at least it had a certain coherence.
Greek Communists (and more generally, 21st century socialists) stand for something quite different: the “right” to be supported by the labor of others (in the Greek case, Germans); the “right” to be a sponge, forever; the “right” to be an exploiter. It would be hard to think of a less attractive political program.”
Does these striking public service workers still get paid when they walk out? I would not be surprised if they do.
The Greek unions should just keep striking until things get better.
