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. 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...
