Everything I hear about Greece shows it to be a completely shit country.

Work Reform
9693 readers

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Because it is. And I say that as a Greek myself.
Greece has been ruled by corrupt politicians for pretty much its entire modern history. Rich people never get prosecuted for the crimes they commit, heath and education are severely underfunded with outdated equipment, badly maintained facilities and underpaid personnel, press freedom is deteriorating and governments push for neoliberal "reforms" like these.

See shitty right wing government doing shitty right wing things.
Sigh.
I bet I know who's behind this.
Google the history of that government.
Greece was the first proxy war of the Cold war, with the US backing the Greek Monarchy, who were ultimately the victors.
We probably ran similar propaganda and right-wing violence campaigns there as we did across the global south.
What a fucking surprise.
Happy July 4th everyone.
