A historic peasant mobilization in Greece

Andreas Sartzekis — 2026-02-04T20:13:00Z

For two months, Greek peasants mobilized with a partial blockade of major roads. While this type of movement has occurred before, this one is remarkable for its duration, the number of participants, its geographical scope, and also the way it was organized.

Eleni Varikas, a revolutionary Marxist-Feminist French-Greek professor of political philosophy, best known for her pioneering use of the concept of gender in French research, died of heart failure in Paris in early January 2026. She was 76 years old and the life partner of Michael Löwy, the French-Brazilian Marxist sociologist and philosopher. Both were contributors to AGAINST THE CURRENT and good friends of its sponsoring organization, Solidarity.

Relentless dismantling of the public education service in Greece

Andreas Sartzekis — 2025-12-02T07:31:54Z

In his obsession with privatizing education, Prime Minister Mitsotakis is intensifying and diversifying attacks to dramatically reduce public services. The mobilization commemorating the massacre of the Polytechnic students on November 17, 1973, is a significant event.

The return to slavery will not pass in Greece!

Andreas Sartzekis — 2025-10-23T14:32:48Z

On 1st October 1, a general strike was called in Greece by the GSEE (single private sector confederation), ADEDY (public sector federation) and many other federations and unions. It was very popular and focused on the rejection of a monstrous bill: allowing a13-hour working day for the same employer (we know that many Greeks have long been reduced to having two jobs).

Andreas Kloke (1953-2025)

Fourth International Programmatic Tendency — 2025-10-18T10:02:22Z

Our comrade Andreas Klocke, with whom we were active in what was then the only group in the Greek section of the Fourth International, died at the beginning of October, greatly weakened by a very long illness following a complex operation. In recent years, as far as his strength allowed, Andreas continued to be involved in observing and analysing what could advance a revolutionary crisis.
