Greece Needs Our Solidarity in Its Struggle Against Austerity

The referendum on July 5 will express the results in Greece of a contest between capitalism‘s management and plans for European society (economic decline for capitalism‘s old centers, disappearance of former „middle layers,“ their major cities‘ transformation into playgrounds for capitalism‘s richest, etc.) versus what Europe‘s working classes will permit. It will show Europe its future. If the Greek people vote no – their refusal to cooperate with capitalism‘s plans – then a new political landscape will emerge. In Europe and likely beyond, the new 21st-century struggle will pit new forms of socialism against forms of capitalist barbarism.
