Here's what Alexis Tsipras says about it:
"What happened in Chile when the dictatorship fell, what is happening in Venezuela today, what happened in Argentina ten years ago, when the IMF left Argentina, all this constitutes experiences that make us much richer and help us to perfect and concretise our strategy, both in Greece and in Europe."
At the same time, Venezuela and Bolivia are copying the Greek Model!
Greece is looking for a total reset.
Debt forgiveness without austerity ?
Those that have been given debt forgiveness are right back where they started.
It’s an issue of the culture and it’s acceptance of corruption that the people accept as normal.
It’s ultimately, IMHO, the difference between who is thought to be “the source” of rights vs the “custodians”.
True, free market capitalism is really scary.
Free market capitalism is the purest form of the expression of human nature.
This expression is what the Leftist fear.
They think that “everybody” is out to screw over everybody they can because that is what they would do.
True capitalism is a leap of faith in the integrity of ones fellow man.
Leftist’s, progressives have no faith in their fellow man. They don’t trust the capitalist because they don’t trust themselves.
At the end of the day it all comes down to “The Fall”
Man is flawed according to God.
or
Man and society is a work in progress.
The question the progressive liberal has always underlies their foundation of uncertainty.
Liberals are very proud and while they accept certain aspects of the “Fall” they can’t, like most Arabs accept the “fall” in it’s entirety.
Judge me not ye saints for my history may be tainted
But I’m sober enough to know blood when I see it
I’ve borne my share of stones most of them easily thrown
But who’s to deny your water shed side leading me home?
What am I supposed to do about it now?
Past regrets and long laments, they find me somehow
O, what am I supposed to do about it now?
What have I to do but fall down?
To spy from far away may seem that I’m one to betray
But O, how I try the spirit to guide, the promise you made
What am I supposed to do about it now?
Past regrets and long laments, they find me somehow
O, what am I supposed to do about it now?
What have I to do but fall down?
Hold me up, never let me go
Love me when I am broken and speak to me
What am I supposed to do about it now?
Past regrets and long laments, they find me somehow
O, what am I supposed to do about it now?
What have I to do but fall down?

The “What am I supposed to do about it now” is the issue.
Faith ?
or
Force ?
They seem to have chosen force.
