Greece: Steelwork strikers welcome neo-Nazis

Aspropyrgos, Attica: Neo-Nazis ‘support’ the Greek Steelworks strikers, and workers’ spokesmen and several other strikers welcome the scum warmly, instead of kicking their ass

An official article on the webpage of the neo-Nazis reads ‘The Golden Dawn [Chrissi Avgi] on the side of the Greece Steelworks strikers’! The neo-Nazis did pay a visit to the factory and shared out staple goods where they had put stickers with their name and the national flag, reading their racist motto ‘… to cleanse the place for good ’. And what did the strikers do? They accepted their ‘bid’ and even allowed them to speak out their vomiting propaganda. We’ve seen the related video; we know it is in fact true; we don’t care to show this filth to you. What we need to say is that this is a complete disgrace of any notion of a labour struggle. Not only did the steelworkers in Aspropyrgos not abolish their ties with the Stalinists of KKE and PAME so far, but now some of them even had the nerve to applaud the killers of the Golden Dawn. Even if these strikers could regain any dignity left on them and denounce publicly the visit of the neo-fascists in the factory (17/2), we are making clear that we will not tolerate any other neo-Nazis speaking in behalf of workers’ struggles. It is not only absurd but fucking infuriating. The strong wave of solidarity itself, shown to the steelworkers by people across the country and the world all these past 108 days of their ongoing strike, demands that they don’t make matters worse.
Fuck the neo-Nazis. Don’t buy their shit.
Social civil war!

If u and your friends cannot do something about this get other workers to confont these people with u together. Any serious people should kick any nazi shits into the sea. Maybe they need the bus to get to work. Maybe they need food in their idiot belly. Best wishes to you.

"We are making clear that we will not tolerate any other neo-Nazis speaking in behalf of workers struggles"? But what are you actually DOING about it? Posting on-line! Do you seriously think the Golden Dawn are going to STOP what they do simply because their opponents post angry messages on-line?

YOU should have been the ones who were giving the striking workers staple goods, but since you weren't, the Nazis exploited the vacuum. This is the cost to Greek radicalism of prioritising Conspiracy Cells of Fire bullshit over the pragmatic realities of working-class solidarity and of starving strikers etc
