Lapavitsas: Most in SYRIZA believed dogmatically that the creditors will retreat

globinfo freexchange

Former SYRIZA MP and currently candidate with Popular Unity, Costas Lapavitsas, has described in a recent interview at The Press Project website, how SYRIZA leadership was bound to the euro-currency and didn't want, not even to examine, the possibility of Greece to exit eurozone and return to a national currency.

As he said characteristically, even if Putin had given a 30 billion loan to Greece, SYRIZA leadership would not have left eurozone. As he revealed, most of the SYRIZA members thought dogmatically that the creditors would eventually retreat in the negotiations. He was impressed of how deep this belief was for most of his former partners in SYRIZA.

Lapavitsas is one of the most dedicated to the perception that Greece should return to a national currency, in order to recover gradually and escape from the sadistic catastrophic measures that imposed by the creditors and destroyed the economy for five years.

Lapavitsas also warned that Greece should expect an internal war too by the economic elite who has interests connected with the common currency. Therefore, if Greece decide to leave euro, people should be prepared.

Unfortunately, it has been proved that this dogmatic belief by most in SYRIZA as well as the tactics by the leadership during the negotiations were very wrong.

We have warned that “In any case, when you negotiate with the representatives of the bankers and lobbyists, you have to persuade that you are determined for everything, in this case for Grexit. And therefore, you should be truly prepared for such a possibility. Besides, the country must have a plan for Grexit and return to national currency anyway.” (fa.ev/2015/03/)

In this crucial issue, Tsipras and most in SYRIZA were proved unprepared to deal with the puppets of the European Financial Dictatorship. We have also warned that Tsipras should not trust these euro-hyenas.

It appears that Tsipras and other Leftists who are about to be mutated into a more systemic-friendly force like Social-democrats - e.g. Pablo Iglesias of Podemos who supported Tsipras' choices - insist on the same mistake. They believe that things can change through the change of balance of the political forces in pan-european level inside the euro common currency. They will discover soon how wrong they are. Simply because euro is the tool of the elites to impose permanently the new Feudalism. It was designed for that purpose.

    Modern currency measures all the economic costs and social goods in every product and service. This supports a just relation with nature and the country heals. Natural bounty increases and people live well.

    Unemployed highly educated youth is required to energize this sixth branch of government in large numbers.

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. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

Munich Shock: Rubio’s Vision of a New Western Century & World Order

GVS Deep Dive   At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches of the year. Framed as a call for Western renewal, his address went far beyond NATO reassurance — outlining a vision of sovereignty, industrial consolidation, and civilizational confidence that may signal the end of the post-Cold War global order.   Is this the beginning of a Second Cold War?   Is the West reorganizing around bloc competition?   Or are we witnessing the construction of a new world order?

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...

Five reasons a war with Iran will mark the final fall of US empire

globinfo freexchange   1. The nature of war has changed dramatically since the Iraq war, due to technological developments. A ground invasion, especially against Iran, would be catastrophic for the US empire with unpredictable consequences, even if the regime-change mission successfully completed.  2. The Iran allies in the region are still active, despite their losses. This is connected with the first reason in a way because armed groups dispersed in the Middle-East and affiliated with Iran, can lead to an asymmetric, out-of-control conflict to the point where US forces may suddenly find themselves trapped in a wider deadly warzone with no exit. The new, relatively cheap technology of drones and small/middle range missiles, is easily accessible to these groups. The Ansar Allah group in Yemen, already demonstrated their ability to sabotage US military operations. 3. Iran is not Iraq. Not only due to its size and the fact that we live now in a very different period, but also be...
