May I remind people of the this my message of four months ago: Dies ist eine weitergeleitete Nachricht Von : Lüko Willms via Marxism <[email protected]> An : Lüko Willms <[email protected]> Datum : Montag, 23. Februar 2015, 19:09 Betreff: [Marxism] Greece: Where is the public works programme? The mobilisation of the unemployed for reconstructing the country? ===8<=================== Original Nachrichtentext =================== With a a quarter of the econmically active population being unemployed, and the economy in shambles after years and decades of disrecard for the public infrastructure, a massive popular mobilisation is called for, to take things in their own hands, and build. Build roads, bridges, tunnels, railway lines, and more which will increase the productivity of the country. Organise farmers to produce what they could not sell on the market, because the food industry, the whole salers and the retailers could not make enough profits with it. This will feed the workers in the public works program. And nationalise the banks to stop financial speculation and direct the funds into financing the public works program and other necessary work. Nationalisation does not necessary mean the expropriation of the owners of the banks, but taking control out of their hands, combining the whole financial "industry" under a common leadership and command for the good of the country. Open the books of big business, of the shipping conglomerates (not only Onassis), of the media coporations (which all belong to various corporations or financial conglomerates). Take cumpolsory loans from the super rich. Don't make gifts to the people, but mobilize them to work and to take things in their own hands, increasing their self-confidence, the self-empowerment. With all, for the good of all, as José Martí, the Cuban hero said. Or is that actually happening? I haven't heard of it. No scandalized uproar in the Corporate "News" Media... I was disappointed when the previous Greek government ordered the state TV to shut down, and all the workers operating the transmission network followed the order. It would have been so easy to mobilize for a NO, and a refusal to shut it down.
