Syriza Government Caves In to Eurobankers' Assault
Only Socialist Revolution Will End Capitalist "Austerity"
Greek Workers: Defeat the Bankers' Diktat, Occupy the Banks and Ports!

Ever since the January 25 elections brought the Coalition of the Radical Left
(SYRIZA) into office in Greece, there has been a bitter struggle between the new
regime and the "troika" of the European Central Bank, European Commission and
International Monetary Fund. The Eurobankers insist that Athens comply with
their program of brutal, anti-working class austerity which has devastated the
Greek economy for the last five years. SYRIZA has sought to bargain for less
onerous terms and for debt relief. Now this has come to a head in a July 5
referendum called by Greek premier Alexis Tsipras to say "yes" or "no" to the
troika's latest extortionate demands. A "yes" vote would mean abject surrender
to the ECB-EC-IMF diktat. But a "no" vote cannot strike a blow against anti-
worker austerity because the Greek government has already agreed to carry out
almost all the demands of the imperialist financiers. While the bulk of the
Greek left has joined in the campaign for a "no" vote, the Communist Party
(KKE) has opposed both the "troika" and the government's austerity programs.
But the KKE's opposition is purely parliamentary and nationalist. A
revolutionary Marxist opposition to the bourgeois populist SYRIZA regime would
call for militant workers action challenging capitalist rule and pointing to
socialist revolution in Greece and throughout Europe.
