Vasilis Kostakis — Occupied Greek Factory Begins Production Under Workers Control

Tuesday, February 12, 2013 is the official first day of production under workers control in the factory of Viomichaniki Metalleutiki (Vio.Me) in Thessaloniki, Greece. This means production organized without bosses and hierarchy, and instead planned with directly democratic assemblies of the workers. The workers assemblies have declared an end to unequal division of resources, and will have equal and fair remuneration, decided collectively. The factory produces building materials, and they have declared that they plan to move towards a production of these goods that is not harmful for the environment, and in a way that is not toxic or damaging.

This is nothing new.

Argentina did this in 2002 just months after their 11/2001 bank crisis.

AND I SHOULD MENTION THE ARGENTINE CRISIS OF 2001 WAS DUE TO CLINTON BALANCING THE BUDGET WHICH DRAINED LIQUIDITY ( U$D ) OUT OF THE REAL ECONOMY AND BACK INTO THE FED/TSY

BUT NOW YOU HAVE GERMAN WHICH HAS WITHDREW IT'S SUPPORT TO THE EU ZONE WHICH IN EFFECT HAS BALANCED AND IS BALANCING THE BUDGET TO THE TIN DRUM OF DEBT PHOBIA.

CHINA IS AVOIDING IT BY SPENDING AS WITH THEIR CURRENT INFLATION AS WELL AS THE NEW ARGENTINA

INFLATION GOOD
