Tsipras ends the neoliberal nightmare for Greece

by system failure

In his recent speech, the Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras, ignored all the threats by the bank-occupied eurocrats and clearly declared that he will focus on the programme announced by SYRIZA before the Greek elections. Tsipras actually confirmed that the Troika programme is over.

As expected, most of the global mainstream media opposed Tsipras' declarations, saying that he is walking against the eurozone partners. 

Tsipras ignored the threats and chosen to show determination to support the initial line of the Greek government, which is to finish Troika and apply specific measures for the relief of the poorest parts of the Greek society heavily hit by the catastrophic measures in the Greek experiment.

The Germans now are in a very difficult position because they don't want to show that they retreat, they fear that the experiment may end for good since the other countries of the periphery will ask for further relief from the cruel austerity. The German leadership is being pressed also by the US leadership to retreat from the hard austerity line, as the Americans see a serious danger for Greece to slip towards the Sino-Russian bloc.

The German leadership is also in a difficult position because a substantial part of the public opinion in Germany understands that the cruel austerity is causing big problems and may be applied one day to themselves if the experiment in Greece end "successfully" for the plutocratic elites.

Merkel is not going to retreat easily, she seeks a decent exit from the dead end she caused. Meanwhile the Greeks appear determined to face all the consequences. The return to national currency is not a nightmare anymore. There are signs showing that the Greek government is making some moves to prepare for a Grexit. 

The war will be hard. European people should understand that this is a class war, not an ethnic one. The battle in Greece is just a crucial field right now.

  1. How will he do this while still in the euro? Impossible. Unless Greece goes back to the drachma, Tsipras's plans are all talk.

    syriza do not want to leave the eurozone or the EU. They want another 5 years' of somebody bankrolling their turn driving the corrupt machine of power, with the dreams of getting a seat at the bigger table in brussels after theyve sold their country into total slavery. Their goal is even more total integration in the EU and a free ride for the nomenklatura. Any bold words between them and the other miserable SOBs in this shitty drama are merely bold words either for positioning in the negotiation or to keep the hopeful suckers back home who voted for them , believing and hopeful.
