Migrant street traders who try to sell their goods there have been repeatedly attacked and arrested (and have their products confiscated) by scores of riot police, DELTA motorcycle forces and the like. Slowly but surely, the street traders started to organise some elementary defense. Along with anarchists in solidarity (some of them ASOEE students) they have recently attempted to push back police whenever they decide to attack, and to effectively cancel out their attempted raids. The astonishing video below is one such example, of what happened to a riot police unit that tried to raid one of the streets near ASOEE. The people fight back! (Please ignore the racist commentary by the terrified citizen shooting the video)
Greek cops are some pussies. In the US we would have full swat teams taking these evil street vendors down. Oh how I wish the American ppl would grow a pair of balls like the Greeks. Although if that happened in the US all those ppl would be thrown into GITMO as terrorist or something of the likes.
That's exactly what they are. They own the capital, they sell it at a market price and they reap the fruits of their labor. I never thought I'd see you supporting capitalists craigd!
They reap the fruits of their labor through their own labor.... Capitalists reap the fruits of someone else's labor...
Well at least these guys actually contribute to society instead of leeching off the tit of the state, who in turn steals the money from actual producers.
According to websters he is: Wouldnt a self-employed person be an investor in Capital in business? In fact he'd be the primary investor if it was his own business. He even meets the 2nd criteria given because it is in fact "major financial interest in an important enterprise" in the eyes of a self-employed hot dog vendor.
Going into the woods to cut down trees and selling the wood to local traders isn't capitalism or socialism, it's simply trade
