Grekodom reports:

Economy Minister, Dimitris Papadimitriou, signed the new law that allows the voluntary operation of shops on Sundays.

The new law 4427/2017 allows for retail stores in central Athens, Thessaloniki, and tourist areas to be open on Sundays for six months of the year during tourist season. The opening of retail stores on Sundays is a prerequisite of Greece's bailout program.

The Federation of Private Sector Employees has called a 24-hour strike to protest the decision while the Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE) said it will appeal it to the Council of State. 

The ministerial decision determines, in great detail, specific areas where the shops can open on Sundays.

    Communism [wikipedia.org]

    As far as that blurb goes, it's OK.
    It doesn't, however, mention the precursors (called out by Marx).
    That would be Democracy and Socialism.
    Socialism is an in-the-workplace thing.

    Communism is communal ownership expanded to the society (e.g. ownership of natural monopolies).

    ...and both are bottom-up systems (so Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, etc. are NOT examples of either.)

    you cannot tell socialism from communism

    Actually, it's you that has the problem.
    Again, Marx defined these terms.

    For reference, socialism:

    Ah. Wikipedia again.

    I've critiqued that page previously. [soylentnews.org]
    It wanders all over the place with a lot of (erroneous) opinions and squishy language.
    It is NOT a useful source of information.

    over here

    Over there, the people who actually know what they're talking about refer to what you are pointing to as LIBERAL DEMOCRACY controlled by OLIGARCHS.

    It sounds like the talking heads on your Lamestream Media aren't any better than ours.
    I suggest that you find better sources.

    The source of information which I find most useful is Professor of Economics Richard D. Wolff. [kpfa.org]
