EDITORIAL
Stop exploiting history
 The 1973 student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic was a courageous and spontaneous act on the behalf of the youth that took part in those landmark events. However, ever since democracy was restored in the country, some of the protagonists in the uprising - joined by some bad imitators - have sought to capitalize on the historic events for their own self-interest. Even worse, political parties have tried to appropriate a chunk of historic memory.
EDITORIAL:AthensPlus
Dictatorship of the proletariat
 Protest marches in Athens are an experiment in how meaningful mechanisms of political expression can - when abused over a long time - degenerate into meaningless ritual. When taken to an extreme, they reveal the absurdity of political or labor activism gone wild: Protest marches are held to demand an improvement in a situation, but when abused they can actually make it worse.
