I think what I said stands up well.

Greece has had a socialist system that failed it.

Austria in the 1930’s had a bit of a fascist state going led by Kurt Schuschnigg.

Schuschnigg called a referendum on a Wednesday night for the following Sunday on his country’s independence after an even worse fascist dictator began intimidating him.

Adolf Hitler moved his jackboots across the border quickly and swallowed up Austria.

When we look back on this conflict between two authoritarian states in 1938, its easy to figure out who the worse was.

I think we can see who the worse is in this situation as well and its the European Union.

“I think we can see who the worse is in this situation as well and its the European Union.”

So the EU (really Germany) has been “loaning” Deadbeat Greece money for too long so they’re the bad actors? I fail to see any relevance to 1930’s Austria here. Just who is the “Hitler” who’s going to march into Greece any day now? Looks to me that the Germans, quite to the contrary, are trying to “march” the other way and doing it as quickly as they can. Greece needs to go under! They deserve it, and it will serve as a wakeup call (maybe) for the rest of the PIIGS countries that they are next if they don’t clean up their financial houses. Greece has run out of other countries money, and so too have the rest.
