Tsipras' continuous mistake and Schäuble's panic

by system failure

Many adopt conspiracy theories according to which, the Greek PM Alexis Tsipras was acting with a specific plan to manipulate the Greek people and bring another catastrophic memorandum after the supposed negotiations with Greece's creditors. Nothing should be excluded in this life, but in this case, they are probably wrong. Tsipras was only "domesticated" slowly (or fast) by the system inside and outside Greece, and this has been proved by the fierce propaganda war by the systemic media against him and against nearly every member of the old SYRIZA, when they saw that the 'Leftist threat' had a good chance to take the power.

What Tsipras finally achieved during the months of SYRIZA administration, was a third and cruel memorandum, which has been voted rapidly like the previous ones, despite the efforts of Zoi Konstantopoulou to delay it through her persistence on the foreseeable parliamentary procedures.

However, the whole negotiation process and the way that was conducted by the Greek negotiating team and Alexis Tsipras, brought some quite significant gains:

First, the strong contradictions inside the euro-dictatorship came on surface, and we witnessed the first cracks on the supposedly solid Franco-German axis.

Second, the true face of the eurozone has been revealed, its image has been seriously downgraded to a degree that has started to become repulsive, even for European countries that examine the possibility to join this club.

Third, the European public opinion changed dramatically concerning Greece, since the real role of the European Financial Dictatorship has been fully revealed.

Fourth, the euro-dictatorship has failed to achieve fully submission and humiliation of the Greek people, as voted clearly for 'NO' in the referendum, despite the propaganda of terror by the systemic media and the closed banks. This was the last thing that the German leadership and the Brussels bureaufascists wanted to see because they didn't want Greeks to become an example for others who suffer from cruel austerity inside the euro-prison. They had literally mobilized every available mean to make the Greeks vote for 'YES'.

Tsipras couldn't probably go further and maybe this was his real goal. The fact that he didn't proceed in an alternate plan for Greece to exit eurozone, has to do probably with the hard core of moderate SYRIZA MPs who surrounded him, repulsing any other approach that was coming from the radical members of the Leftist party.

However, Tsipras also belongs to the moderate part of the Left which believes that Internationalism can become a fact through the common currency and change of the balance of the political forces in Europe. This belief appears to be adopted by a significant part of many Leftist parties in Europe and carries the contagion of SYRIZA's split to the whole European Left.

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.

Therefore, euro is the tool for the neoliberal Internationalism to prevail, not for the Internationalism that the Left wants. Therefore, the eurozone dictatorship must be destroyed and Europe should make a restart towards a total different direction, through which the European people will decide for their future, not the bankers and the lobbyists.

The threats of Schäuble against Tsipras show not only how ruthless the euro-dictatorship puppets are, but also that they have started to panic. It means that they can't completely control the situation and worry about the probability of a solid front against the neoliberal catastrophe in Europe.

The elections in Greece, Spain, Portugal and later in Ireland will determine many things. In case that people will dare to get rid of the traditional political parties that have been completely surrendered to the neoliberal doctrine, the fight can be given with better chances. Tsipras was defeated heavily, but the Greek people, through the referendum, showed that they could fight. The pan-european war against the new Feudalism has just started.

    nice try but this conveniently forgets that the euro is a construct of the French Socialists. Another notch incompetence to their belt...

    1. So what? Together with the center-Right across Europe, they have been the dominant political forces for decades, became the most corrupted and finally surrendered to the bankers and lobbyists. Makes no difference.

  2. The struggle to contain corporatism and super-citizen corporations requires discussion of the most up-to-date ideas of democracy plus an analysis of exactly why people like Schäuble are so petrified of Greeks.

    Start with democracy. What is it?

    Democracy is simply an ancient organic tool humans use to focus distributed intelligence. All the corporate hierarchies on Earth cannot match the intellectual depth and breadth of the Greek population or any other population when it uses democracy to focus and develop a plan of action.

    Yes the Troika has become a repulsive terrorist Hydra operating to control Europe. It is trapped into believing and acting as if its own propaganda is reality and is therefore too stupid to operate in the complex modern world much longer. The people of Greece were not frightened by the three headed financial Hydra and skillfully used democracy to expose the as a creature of oligarchy.

    Zapatistas and Kurds have provided important insight into democracy: The idea of nation is not necessary to democracy. Especially a nation owned by oligarchs who impose austerity on humanity. A new vision of seven branch government could flower in Greece or any nation that decides to nurture humanity and Earth rather than subject them to endless war pollution and austerity.

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.

Iranian Seyed M. Marandi: What REALLY happened in Iran & why U.S. wants to destroy the country

Li Jingjing 李菁菁   Track records of Western interventions tell us we need to be skeptical and cautious whenever some Western politicians and pundits claim they want to liberate people in another country and bring them democracy.

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

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...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...
