Greece: The system ready for war to confront the Leftist "threat"

by system failure

As recent polls in Greece give a clear lead for the main Leftist party, SYRIZA, (the latest one by 11% from Samaras' New Democracy - http://www.greeknewsonline.com/syriza-leads-nd-by-11-in-polls/), the local banking-media dictatorship sees that there is no chance for a formation of any new government without the participation of the Left.

It seems that the main systemic powers inside and outside Greece are mobilized, fearing the worst scenario for them, which is an autonomous government of the Left in possible national elections.

Inside Greece, the system is using the political parties River and PASOK, which are promoted as representatives of the Center-Left political space. Recent statements from River and PASOK members show that their goal is to join a potential Leftist government, hoping that it will not be able to collect the necessary votes to be autonomous. The "Socialist" party, PASOK, is probably ready to abandon the government coalition and try to "clean" its name, by changing leadership.

Some moves like the one of the "voluntary" taxation for the shipowners (http://www.tvxs.gr/news/ellada/eidiki-forologisi-gia-efoplistes-kai-me-nomo), reveal that the government does not believe that can fix the negative climate against it and there is no point to persuade about its good intentions. They also show that the ruling class tries to grab whatever it can, as sees that its neoliberal government-puppet start to collapse.

Outside the borders, the new "gift" from Draghi to the Greek banks (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-01/germany-throws-over-draghi-plan-buy-greek-junk) is quite indicative. Draghi attempts to save the bankers in front of the real "threat" of a Leftist government in Greece. The bankers continue to accumulate capital back to the ECB while the real economy collapses under the lack of liquidity.

Systemic media presented this move as completely positive for the Greek economy, as expected, with cliches like "the economy will take a deep breath through further liquidity". In reality, of course, this move is only an extension of the previous one (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/the-emperor-spoken-again.html) by the "emperor" to provide even cheaper money to the banks.

During the next months, we should expect a propaganda culmination by the banking-media dictatorship in Greece, with the help, as usual, of the European neoliberal economic empire mechanisms. The main goal will be to prevent an autonomous government of the Left, which could cause a domino effect in Europe, interrupting the expansion of the Greek experiment.

We should also expect a "tighter approach" of the Left by the systemic establishment which will try to drag it inside its frame of interests. The purpose of this approach will be to force the Left to compromise, for a start, so that the current system to maintain its power.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Iran could be the US’s Boer war: a hollow victory that marks the beginning of the end of empire

US leaders anticipated a walkover. Now they’re embroiled in a conflict that could hasten the end of US economic dominance  by Larry Elliott   Nobody gave the Boers a prayer when the war in South Africa began in 1899. It was farmers ranged against the might of the British empire, and the expectation was that resistance would quickly crumble. Eventually, might did prevail. Britain won the Boer war, but it was a hollow victory that took the best part of three years to achieve and came at a high cost. The blow to British prestige – coming at a time when its global hegemony was under threat from fast-growing countries such as the US – was severe. Far from highlighting the extent of Britain’s power, it exposed its limitations. A century and a quarter later, the US risks being embroiled in its equivalent of the Boer war. What should have been a walkover threatens to become a prolonged conflict. The Iranians are using guerrilla tactics, just as the Boers did, with much success. There ...

The dominant elite ready to break the "social contract"

Hyper-automation will allow the super-rich to “get rid” of the rest by system failure Since the French revolution and the new form of the urban states-democracies, the ruling class had to make the so-called "social contract" with the majority. From the moment that the dominant urban class took the power from feudalism and monarchy, should had to find a way to protect the means of production and the labor force. Therefore, the ethnic consciousness in each state served to bound the majority in order to shape national armies to protect the ruling class interests. In exchange, the ruling urban class had given the so-called social state, labor rights, etc., through the nation-state as a carrier and guarantor for all these benefits for the middle and lower classes. Since then, there have been a lot of battles and the majority managed to conquer some benefits. At the start of 20th century, the technology progress had brought the mass production. Western s...
