Change you can believe in.
Insane socialism, no incentives to work, all-powerful unions that make the UAW look like Sunday School kids...
No one in their right mind would start a business there and the ones that do exist spend at least 50% of their time figuring out ways to get around/avoid the government.
You know what? The gawddamn lockstep media is reciting this line so freaking often that I'm guessing it's a done deal.
Anarchy in 2009. Lock and load.
it is the inevitable end when you get socialism and state control with only a window dressing of free enterprise.
It’s where we may be heading. Public/left wing control of universities, the state controlling most major industries, with resulting cronyism and high unemployment
I don’t always agree with Kaplan’s assessments of the situation in the Balkans, but he’s on the money with this one in my opinion.
Socialism, my foot. These are full fledged communists. Greece has had a problem with communists since they kicked out the fascists in WW 2.
It’s up to the Greek people what they want to choose for themselves. They aren’t fighting these people back the way they should.

"Following World War II, Greece had a civil war ...The civil war left scars for decades on the country’s politics, pushing left- and right-wing parties into ideological barricades, inflamed further by personal hatreds arising out of the war years."A concern of mine about a civil war here.
I read anything by Robert Kaplan with great interest and care.
Yeah, except their own. That's the problem. When it's one of theirs, they'll follow them right over the cliff. If it isn't one of theirs, they not only question, but throw them under the bus without bothering to think about new ideas. Of course, that ties in with the government-run school system the article mentions.
Technology has empowered the crowd—or the mob if you will.
