¡EL NO ES EL PRINCIPIO!

El NO en el referéndum del pasado 5 de Julio fue una dolorosa bofetada a los partidos tradicionales, la burguesía y a los medios de comunicación del sistema. En el breve periodo anterior al referéndum, toda esta alianza reaccionaria aterrorizó y chantajeó de cualquier modo y en todos los espacios posibles: en las pantallas de televisión, en los periódicos, en los centros de trabajo. No consiguieron nada más allá de ser ridiculizados, nada más de hacer crecer nuestro odio de clase contra ellos.

El referéndum se desarrolló, independientemente de las intenciones de SYRIZA, en una clara confrontación de clase. Los trabajadores votaron NO y rechazaron masivamente el acuerdo, a pesar de la traición histórica de la burocracia de la confederación sindical GSEE, que hizo abiertamente campaña por el SÍ y por los capitalistas. La burguesía, incluso aquellos sectores no hostiles a SYRIZA, dio una dura batalla por el SÍ. Los sectores medios parecía que tenían poco que perder y se integraron finalmente junto a la mayoría de la clase trabajadora por el NO.

This "NO" was only the beginning!

The "NO" answer in the 5^th of July's referendum was a painful slap against the traditional parties of the capital, the bourgeoisie, the systemic media. At the short period before the referendum, this disputatious alliance had extorted and terrorized the people, using all means available: Via television, through newspapers, into the work places. They only managed to make fool of themselves and to increase the class hate even more.

The referendum turned into a pure class fight, regardless of Syriza's intentions. The working class voted NO and rejected the settlement massively, despite the historical betrayal of the General Working Union's bureaucracy, which sided openly with the "YES" and with the capitalists. The bourgeoisie fought hard in favor of YES, even its parts which weren't hostile to Syriza. The majority of the middle class, having almost nothing to loose anymore, formed into line with the working class and voted NO. In contrary to those who called for national unity and amity, it became clear to everyone that two, totally different "societies" exist in the country: The exploiters and the exploited. The escalation of the class consciousness of a large part of the working class creates a vast amount of fear to those who are afraid of a clear expression of the class and choose the national unity as their main slogan, in order to promote the complacency and the social peace.

NO! No agreement – End the negotiations

Decision of the CC of OKDE – SPARTAKOS 28.06.2015

The greek government, despite its persistent efforts, failed to win the confidence of the institutions (EU, IMF) and the favor or the hegemonic bourgeois classes of Europe. The vows of loyalty to the repayment of the debt “fully and timely” and the renunciation of unilateral actions, as well as of any measure which would be contrary to the capitalist normality, weren’t enough. SYRIZA adopted ever more measures and reforms in full accordance with the memoranda (privatizations, retirement age increases, de facto reductions in wages and pensions, increasing VAT in mass consumption products etc.). The EU and the IMF, however, along with their domestic partners in Greece, don't want just harsh measures, but they also want to destroy any hope (and illusion) reflected in the election of a government that was elected with the slogan of terminating the memoranda, even if this slogan was withdrawn the very first day after the elections.

Ce "NON" n'était que le début!

La réponse "NON" au référendum du 5 juillet a été une grosse claque pour les partis traditionnels du capital, la bourgeoisie, les médias du système. Durant la courte période qui a précédé le référendum, cette alliance encline à la polémique a fait du chantage et terrorisé le peuple, par tous les moyens à sa disposition : via la télévision, les journaux, et sur les lieux de travail. Ils n'ont réussi qu'à se ridiculiser et faire monter encore plus la haine de classe.

Le référendum est devenu un pur combat de classe, indépendamment des intentions de Syriza. La classe ouvrière a voté NON et massivement rejeté l'accord, malgré la trahison historique de la bureaucratie du Syndicat Général des Travailleurs, qui s'est ouvertement rangée du côté du "OUI" et des capitalistes. La bourgeoisie s'est durement battue pour le OUI, même ses franges qui n'étaient pas hostiles à Syriza. La majorité de la classe moyenne, n'ayant presque plus rien à perdre, s'est alignée sur la classe ouvrière et a voté NON. À l'encontre de cru qui appelaient à la cohésion et à l'union nationale, il est devenu clair pour tout le monde qu'il y a deux "sociétés",complètement différentes dans le pays : les exploiteurs et les exploités. La montée de la conscience de classe d'une large part de la classe ouvrière crée un grand effroi chez ceux qui ont peur que la classe s'exprime clairement et qui choisissent comme principal slogan l'unité nationale, dans le but de promouvoir la complaisance et la paix sociale.

Class struggle has no intervals

1. Αll hopes that the working class can get rid of austerity by voting and electing a “government of the left” collapsed very soon. SYRIZA won the election and formed a government. Not a government of the left, of course, but a collaboration government along with the extreme right nationalist party Independent Greeks (ANEL) and with various socialdemocrats. However, SYRIZA is the primary determinant of the governmental policy. And this government of “national salvation” (this is the term for class collaboration in the language of politics), after some bravado, entered an endless game of negotiating with creditors, with the troika, with imperialist institutions and with capitalists both in Greece and Europe.

2. There are conflicts in this negotiation between the government and the troika (IMF, ECB and EU). However none of the two sides represent the real interests or working people, the unemployed, the oppressed and the poor.
