The 25th of January of this year, there were carried forward the general polls in Greece. Syriza has earned with a 36% of the votes (2.246.064). Behind them it was New Democracy, with a 27% and in third place the fascist of Golden Dawn with a 6.8. Over the poll pattern of 9.911.495, more than 3,6 million workers and young didn’t vote despite being mandatory, expressing a proffound hate of the masses againt the Troika regime.
Millions of workers voted for Syriza with the illution that these will solve the suffering imposed by capitalists in bankruptcy. It is needed to be asked then... will Syriza’s government put an end to the “austerity” as it had promised in its poll campaign and is Syriza a hope for the entire Europe?
The first resolution taken by Tsipras Ander the command of the president Papoulias was the one of forming a government. To do it so Syriza sealed a coallition with the ultra-right wing party Independant Greeks that allowed Alexis Tsipras assume as Prime Minister.
Afterwards it granted Panos Kammenos, leader of Independent Greeks, the Defense Ministry, with the highest budget of the nation. Kammenos was a key oficial in the ’90s in all the governments of New Democracy and PASOK, its party highlights itself by its ultra-nationalist and archyrreactionary policy against the inmigrant workers.

To contain the constant assaults of the masses and to try to reinstate the institutions of the badly damaged Greek regime under the tutelage of the counterrevolutionary Troika of bankers and the finance oligarchy, president Papoulias, the commander in chief of Greek Armed Forces, anticipates the parliamentary elections...
With a class-collaboration government, Syriza arrives in order to save the bankrupted imperialist bourgeois regime and to divert the masses from the path of revolution
Down with the electoral trap! Out with Papoulias! Down with Maastricth!
Out with the Troika of Obama, Merkel, Goldman Sachs, the European Union and the IMF!

At the same time, Tsipras put in the Finance Ministry Yannis Varufakis, who was the former adviser of PASOK government and to Yannis Dragaesakis (ex vice prime minister from Zolatas`government supported by New Democracy and PASOK in the ‘90s) as economic Vice Prime minister and coordinator of all the charters with economical and financial character. Nobody voted those ministries! Syriza has assigned to the front of the two institutions of the Greek state, to two ministries direct from the imperialist Greek bourgeoisie. To save the officers caste has named Kammenos and the guard the Central Bank to Varufakis and Dragaesakis. Put an end to the “austerity” with the old officers and ministries of the PASOK and New Democracy that gave birth to the fraudulent external debt with the bankers to starve the people?
Actually, this is about enlisting a gabinet to carry on forward its plan of “re-bargaining the foreing debt” that won’t be another thing that transforming into payable, a debt against the one the entire Greek people have risen up. Syriza will guarantee that the Bundesbank, IMF and EU parasites receive each Euro over the blood and sweat of the Greek people sunk in crisis.
The Tsipras government said that would put an end to “austerity”. Without breaking with Obama, Merkel and EU Troika? Without expropriating the trasnational companies, the imperialist banks and the whole capitalists? Without breaking with Troika regime and the bankers commanded by Papoulias, the Chief commander of the army?
Syriza’s government doesn’t come to solve the pressing problems of the masses, but to sweeten the ears of the exploited with empty-handed phraseology to encourage fake illutions, while it seeks to re-legitimate the institutions of the bourgeois state and its damaged regime hit by the multiple revolutionary actions of the masses that undermined its domain. Its task is to drive the masses of the streets and stop the development of a revolutionary crisis that destroys the state and its imperialist bourgeois regime in banckrupcy.
As part of this re-legitimation plan, Syriza has removed two high commands of the murderous police forces declaring in their defense that they were forced to obey their higher command. It stated that “we must reconciliate with the people and don’t repress anymore”, relegitimating and protecting the murderous and repressive police. A huge rally of the working class and the people imposed the provisory dettention of the cupula of the fascist party Golden Dawn. Syriza learned very well of the Kirchner experience in Argentina. It is that they realize this of keeping them in prison, with the theory of the “two demons”, to Nikos Romanos and dozens of political prisoners for fighting. It seeks that way to legitimate the justice and its High Court that keep in prison dozens of fighting young workers to preserve the fascist gangs funded by the finantial capital in bankrupcy from the masses hatred.
The demagogical announcements about the reinstatement of a few dismissed, over the raise of the minimal wage to 200 Euros when with the cutting it has been lost more than 500, offering assilum to a few workers when thousands have been left in the streets, without house, work or food, is a policy with the one they try to cover that they are legitimating the Troika regime, the officers caste of the Coronels, the murderous police of Alexis Grigoropolulos and Lambros Foundas, its fake parliament of the Bundesbank, Goldman Sach and BCE, to save the property of the capitalist from the fair hate of the exploited masses.
Syriza’s government…
A reactionary triumph of the Troika regime
This government counts with the support of the imperialist bourgeoisie, the Bolivarian, Putin, the new Castroist bourgeoisie and it has the support of the entire European social imperialist left and with the not-less decisive support of the ex-Trotskyists of the world. From the anti-capitalist variants to the ex-Trotskyists as the EEK (party brother of the PO from Argentina), support them openly. Others as the English SWP and its Latin American parrots of PTS, support them more “critically”. But all of them start from the idea that “the government of Syriza is the expresion of the revolutionary fight of the exploited masses”.
With their support they seek to kneel the working class and its fighting youth, with the pernicious policy of class collaboration, to the bourgeoisie.
Syriza’s triumph is not the expression of the revolutionary fight of the exploited but a reactionary triumph of the Troika regime. This government comes to expropriate the masses fight and deviates them from the path of the revolution, for now, with its “leftist” and demagogical phraseology. But by doing it so, it plays with fire.
Trotsky stated about this “when the bourgeoisie is forced to sign an agreement with the workers organizations via its left wing, it has more need than ever of its officers corspe to counter-wheight, since it is about deffending the private property, that is, the most important” (Leon Trotksy, Letter to the IS, -About the Popular Front in Spain, 27th of July of 1936, translation ours). If this government proves itself incapable of turning off the revolutionary energies of the worker movement and the Greek exploited, with the officers caste of the murderous army of the colonels and fascist of Golden Dawn, without doubt, the imperialist financial capital will prepare the weapons for a future bloodbath against the exploited.
On the other side, the Anarchist leadership that represents the most fighting of the exploited youth, regrettably stop the raising of workers and soldiers councils, refuses to centralize the strenghts of the exploited so these ones open the path to the fight for the power and gets to end with this rotten regime of the capitalist and bankers parasites. They refuse to dispute the leadership of the trade unions to the rotten CP and GSEE-ADEDY bureaucracy and to set up self-determination and direct democracy bodies of the masses in struggle.
The most fighting of the youth is under the influence of the Anarchist leaderships whose with this policy end up being the last link of the chain that ties the exploited to this perfideous class collaboration policy of popular front.
Syriza and its government of class collaboration, a new deception to save the property of the capitalist from the right hatred of the exploited masses and the poor people
With more than the 25% of the population unemployed, 300 thousand exploited under the poverty line, eating garbage, without health care, wages, housing, supporting the privatization plans of the health, education, docks. With the looting of the nation via the charge of the usurious debt alongside the embargo of part of the parasite bankers under the collection of the earnings of the game, turism and the companies that give earnings. With dozens of political prisoners in the claws of the regime, with the jails of the militarized fronteer full of inmigrant workers stacked and in inhuman condition... that is how they are paying the costs of the crisis the exploited of the entire Greece.
The workers, the ruined middle class by the crisis, the poor peasants and our organizations, must assume no compromise with this government. It is not our government. The urgent task is to conquer the most absolute class independence for our organizations to fight for our demmands.
Nor “hope” for the European people or “end of austerity”. Nor “anti-capitalist” or “radicals” and “socialist”. As Nikos Romanos dennounced toward Syriza: They are “hope traders”. They are the new managers of left of the Greek imperialist in banckrupcy.
This recipe was already applied by the Bolivarian in Latin America, the ones that Syriza vindicates as an “example to get out of the crisis”. First expropriating the revolution that started the exploited masses against the imperialism and its cepoy governments, at the starter of the century, and now looting, starving, repressing and slaughtering the people under the command of Obama, even worse that their predecessors, the “neoliberal” government of the ‘90s.
That’s why the workers of Sidor today state: “We don’t believe in Hummer’s socialist and Rolex communists... We believe in the revolution of the workers”. That’s the way!
We must retake the path started in 2008-2011, arising our fight organizations, as it was the “trade union network” of the retail workers, that coordinated the fight of this sector with the entire greece or the “Trade Union” (a true strike committee) that was set up in 2011 by the Egypt fishermen that work in the cost of the Egeo Sea. It is in today’s agenda that this organism are extended and centralized to retake and drive to the victory the demmands for what we fight in the general strike of November 27, retake the path of the fight for the freedom of the youth improsoned by fighting, the fight in defense of the inmigrant workers and the decent work and wage. For it we must end with the regime of the parasite bankers of the IMF, Bundesbank and Goldman Sach to be able to eat, have work, wage and housing.
Throw down the bureacuracy of the Trade Unions and retrieve our organizations for the fight!
It is necessary to set up employed and unemployed workers Committees, of poor peasants and renters! Generalize and extend the soldiers Committees! Centralize this Committees in a great National Congress of employed and unemployed, fighting youth and rank-and-file soldiers to defeat the attack of the capitalist and conquer a true Worker Emergency Plan!
Freedom now to Nikos Romanos and all the prisoners for fighting! Since this moment, the left manager of Troika interests is their jail men.
To get bread, housing, health care, education, defeat the Troika attack, retreive the conquest and get work for everyone…
EXPROPRIATE THE BANKERS AND TRASNATIONAL COMPANIES!
Out with Papoulias! Down with Maastricht!
Out the Obama’s, Merkel, Goldman Sach, European Union and IMF Troika!
FOR A PROVISORY REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT OF THE WORKERS AND SOLDIERS COUNCILS!
Befote this catastrophe that has been imposed to the Greek exploited and that threatens the world proletariat, for the battlecry of “spark in Athens, fire in Paris, it’s the upraising that is coming” become true, the working class must oppose the capitalist catastrophe the revolutionary combat for the United Socialist States of Europe.
For a workers and socialist Greece, that alongside the workers and soldiers councils of Ukraine Donbass,
be the bastion of the revolution in the entire Europe!
From Portugal to the Russian steppes, For the United Socialist States of Europe!
