Former Greek minister attacked by mob as riots break out in Greece

by Nick Squires from The Telegraph

Class war is raging in Greece in the forms of violent clashes between protesters and police, attacks on government figures, and a general strike. See 1:46 video and read report which has more links to other reports.
The violence in Greece erupted during a general strike called by unions to protest against new labour laws which unions say will give employers too much power and take workers' rights "back to the Middle Ages." 
You will never see capitalists attacking protesters--they always hire unemployed, desperate working people to do their dirty work for them.
