Greece and the European Union: First as Tragedy, Second as Farce, Thirdly as Vassal State
The
Greek people’s efforts to end the economic depression, recover their
sovereignty and reverse the regressive socio-economic policies, which
have drastically reduced living standards, have been thrice denied.
Greek people’s efforts to end the economic depression, recover their
sovereignty and reverse the regressive socio-economic policies, which
have drastically reduced living standards, have been thrice denied.
First, the denial came as tragedy: When
the Greek majority elected Syriza to government and their debts
increased, the economy plunged further into depression and unemployment
and poverty soared. The Greek people voted for Syriza believing its
promises of ‘a new course’. Immediately following their victory, Syriza reneged on their promise to restore sovereignty –
and end the subjugation of the Greek people to the economic dictates of
overseas bankers, bureaucrats and political oligarchs. Instead Syriza
kept Greece in the oligarchical imperialist bloc, portraying the
European Union as an association of independent sovereign countries.
What began as a great victory of the Greek people turned into a tragic
strategic retreat. From their first day in office, Syriza led the
Greek people down the blind alley of total submission to the German
empire.
