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...
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
DeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteStart 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.
