Austerity rains chaos down on Greece
Citaat:
The productivity of mankind has never been bigger and it will surely get even bigger, so big the whole thing will explode. A totalitarian capitalistic system is always looking for new markets and sectors..., Everything, nature, people, animals have to pay their price and their value is measured by their economic usefulness ... whether or not to end up on the scrap heap. The social graveyard is getting bigger everyday. |

Griekenland heeft vele vele vele jaren ferm boven zijn stand geleefd met vervalste boekhouding om maar bij de Euro te kunnen horen.
Het is dan ook normaal dat ze nu een paar jaren serieus pijn gaan hebben om hun opgebouwde schulden terug af te betalen. En ja dan bedoel ik bijvoorbeeld de treinbestuurders in overheidsdienst die meer dan 3500 euro netto per maand naar huis brachten. Trouwens f*ck Griekenland. Geen eurocent meer naar die bodemloze put. Dat ze zich maar verzoenen met het armlastige volk dat ze zijn. |
Well, I don't really know what to comment on an article published by such an openly biased media as the Socialist Worker. I do know Greece and its people well if I may say so and the impressions given in the text paint a false, but useful picture to push the newspaper's agenda:
There is no wide spread agreement amongst the protesters in Athens, Thessaloniki and other major cities when it comes to concrete political aims, not even on fundamental bases. Yes, there are a couple of organisations that organise rallies and yes, the left wing oppositions parties like the shithole the KKE and its splinter groups are and those concerned about more moderate aims like ecologic and anti-sexist policies do play a role in the protest. But what seemingly no person on the left (whatever that means) wants to notice it that the overwhelming majority of workers and citizens walking on the streets in Greece doesn't follow a homogeneous ideological line. In fact, if you talk to some of them, the only thing everyone agrees on is that the current system doesn't represent the people's will, that they fear for their jobs, their income to keep the families fed and maintain their flat (usually people live in flats in Greece, especially so in cities). It is by no means a struggle against the oppressive nature of capitalism, the ethic corruption this system forces on the people, the way it makes any form of social communication impossible as long as it doesn't have an economic interest and so on. It is a struggle by people who just want to go on as they did back in the late eighties and early nineties when PASOK made it look like Greece was the rising superpower of the region, back when the government threw away all its EU funds for buildings it knew were useless and hence have never been finished. Today, worker's solidarity is limited to collective self-interest. If capitalism gives the proletariat the chance to accumulate a tiny ransom for selling their soul and mind to a ruthless machine, they can't wait to do so. And when capitalism says it cannot maintain their current lifestyle, the same people will march against - what? Capitalism? No, against austerity measures, against rising taxes, against governmental fees. These people in their majority do not have a substantiated problem with how things work nowadays, but they'll shout as soon as someone wants to rule over their property. |

de Europese Unie. Ik heb het over Portugal, Spanje en Griekenland. Ierland laat ik er liever nog even buiten. Ik heb weinig ervaring met Grieken maar dus wel met doorsnee Spanjaarden en Portugezen. Voor mij zijn het mensen die niet vies zijn van hard werken. Dus het kan niet aan de mentaliteit van de doorsnee man liggen (zoals bij ons straks misschien het geval wordt) dat de zaken er slecht gaan. Dus...hun systeem is rot. geen checks and balances , corruptie, een overheid die lustig haar zakken vult. En de EEG laat dat doe. Ja waarom eigenlijk niet? Want daar viert verdoken corruptie dus ook hoogtij. Beter gaan we ten rade bij de Amerikanen. Je kunt zeggen over ze wat je wilt maar ze zijn er dus wél in geslaagd hun hoge ambtenaren min of meer eerlijk te houden. |

Thats a fact, therefore people need to talk more about those things.... not knowing is exactly what's making uss blind. Greece, Europe, and the Europeans need unity more than ever. This unity can translate itself into actions against the European neo liberal capitalists. |
