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.

    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.

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
