Kostas Papantoniou is no revolutionary*, but the 59-year-old's determination to stand up and fight the Greek government has grown considerably in the last few weeks. Papantoniou, who is deputy head of the civil servants' union ADEDY, has a picture of Che Guevara hanging on the wall next to his desk. It features Che's famous slogan: "Hasta la victoria siempre" ("Until the everlasting victory").Everlasting victory? Right on, brother! Stick it to the man, just like Che Guevera!**
* - Dude runs around with Che slogans and he's not a revolutionary? Just what does a revolutionary look like? The mind boggles.
** - Che liked to stick it to men with bullets in the backs of their heads. He preferred sticking it to businessmen, artists and intellectuals, but in a pinch, he might have plugged our buddy Kostas. Purely by accident, you understand, but that's OK. After all, we're out to earn ourselves Everlasting Victory!
Yeah, old Kostas would be in the first batch up against the wall.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least when they reject capitalism and become a communist country, no one can say they didn't see it coming.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Kosty's got a nice salary, being the union boss and all. They'd confiscate his property and money, traitor to the proleteriat that he is.
