      Dimitris Vitsas, the secretary of Synaspism à ³s , discussed with us the need to build international solidarity, not just with SYRIZA but with the Greek resistance as a whole. He suggested strengthening an international campaign that has already started around the slogan, "We Are All Greeks." Vitsas said that Greeks refuse to be the guinea pigs for extreme neoliberalism. Greece has been the weak link in the chain of austerity, but now SYRIZA's success offers the possibility that Greeks can show the way to fight back. We at the Campaign for Peace and Democracy plan to organize a c ampaign along these lines in the U.S., building on the Occupy Wall Street solidarity initiative several months ago. Stay tuned for future developments.
