Hamid Taqvaee
The election of an
anti-austerity government in Greece is a political milestone for the working
class; a moment in the process of a struggle, which, though rooted in the urban
revolts of 2008, specifically began with the May 2010 protests against welfare
cuts. This struggle not only hasn't ended yet, but with the election of Syriza,
has entered a new and critical stage.
