NO PEACE WITH STATE AND CAPITAL!
General Strike against the new anti-labor law, wage slavery, employer terror, and state repression
We are in a period of widespread escalation of the attack by political and economic elites against the poor, through the deepening of anti-social restructurings in every aspect of daily life with the passing of a series of bills relating to health, education, labor, housing, taxation, political and social expression, justice, and nature. The state and the bosses aim at the even greater exploitation of the poor, constantly deepening the conditions of oppression. This drive towards the imposition of modern totalitarianism, which leads the neoliberal far-right government of New Democracy, is reflected in a number of restructuring reforms that serve the declared and long-standing goals of the ruling class, regardless of political management. In reality, however, the reason why the right wing today imposes the hegemony of neoliberalism with such ease and extends its policy of attacking workers, the unemployed, and everyone at the bottom is because the previous political administration, the social democratic government, in the name of the radical left, crushed the movements, spread illusions and delusions among large parts of society only to add another brick to the edifice of modern totalitarianism and further entrench the belief that there is no alternative for the poor, no other world beyond that of the state and capitalism.
The implementation of the neoliberal model in the field of labor, through ongoing antisocial reforms, has created conditions of extreme exploitation and terror for the world of wage work. Flexible working hours, undeclared and unreported work, the absence of protective measures in the workplace, the abolition of Sunday off work and the 8-hour workday, the deregulation of layoffs, daily intimidation and the threat of unemployment, the expansion of forms of work with limited rights such as “freelance” work, work intensification, and retaliatory dismissals in response to workers’ demands are the weapons that the state has placed to the hands of the employers for the further exploitation of workers. In this direction of the neoliberal model, a decisive role has been played by the anti-labor Hatzidakis bill, which was not an inspiration exclusively of the current far-right administration but built upon previous anti-labor legislation passed under SYRIZA and paved the way for the escalating exploitation of the working class through new monstrous laws such as the Georgiadis bill. Through this bill, various employers are now able to employ a worker up to 13 hours per day and six days per week — conditions that had already been gradually normalized. Following this series of laws and bills, the current Minister of Labor, Niki Kerameos, is introducing yet another anti-labor bill whereby a single employer will now have the right to employ a worker for up to 13 hours a day, while intensifying the flexibilization of working time throughout the year and eliminating overtime pay. The state and the bosses are seeking to overturn labour rights (which are previous points of compromise in the class struggle between bosses and workers) that were achieved through hard and bloody struggles in the past, such as the 8-hour day and the right to strike. This is the direction taken by the new anti-labor bill that is about to be voted on, under which workers’ free time will be demolished and they will be turned into “springs” for the needs of capital, “available” at any moment to satisfy the whims of their bosses.
All these “exceptions” are precisely what have been officially enshrined in law over the past decades of continuous restructuring, sealing the bleeding and exhaustion of society, its sacrifice on the altar of employers’ profits. Within this framework, we, the exploited and oppressed, continue to pay with our blood for the maintenance and reproduction of the barbaric exploitative and oppressive system that dominates, murders, and impoverishes. This is evidenced by the dozens of murders of workers in the sweatshops of modern slavery, with 152 already recorded in the first nine months of 2025 alone, while more than 235 workers have been seriously injured. Because the perpetuation of the power and profits of the economic and political rulers depends on intensification of the exploitation of our class, the plundering of our lives, the silencing and repression of all those who refuse to accept this barbarity as the only prospect.
From the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and their displacement from their land, culminating in 77 years of atrocities committed in Palestine by the butchers of Israel, the war in Ukraine that has been going on for three years now, since the Russian invasion, leaving behind thousands of dead, impoverished, and uprooted people, to the daily murders of workers in the sweatshops of wage slavery, the imprisonment in detention camps and the murders of migrants at the land and sea borders of Fortress Europe, the deaths in understaffed hospitals and on dilapidated and neglected trains, the fires that burn down forests and their ecosystems every year and destroy local communities, the state-capitalist system has nothing more to offer than death, war, uprooting, and exploitation.
The defense of the interests, needs, lives, and dignity of the working class passes through collective, horizontally coordinated, and grassroots action. The organization of our resistance is of crucial importance, especially in a period of systematic and organized attack by the state and capitalist system. Collectivization, common action, and mutual understanding grounded in anarchist values are our tools against the modern totalitarianism of the state and capital, against their attempts to convince us that history has come to an end, that there is no prospect beyond the dystopian present and the system of power that creates it, and that if we choose the path of struggle and dignity, we will be crushed. On every open front of social and class struggle, where the aggression of the state and capital is manifested, we seek to to radicalize the struggles by linking them to the universal social vision of social and class emancipation, putting forward the only realistic way out for the oppressed; the organization of the struggle for social revolution, Anarchy, and Libertarian Communism. To build an emancipated society based on dignity, justice, freedom, solidarity, a world without exploitation and oppression of one human by another!
