Greek Tragedy ( Capitalism in crisis....again! )

[bozo]

Greece is all but bankrupt and has had to beg for money from richer European countries to bale it out.
The money will be made available, but only on the understanding that a severe austerity package will be meted out to the country.
Unsurprisingly you may think, ordinary Greeks don't relish the idea of massive job losses, pay freezes for those not sacked and cuts in public services that may well put lives at risk.
So, ordinary Greeks have taken to the streets in protest. Their message is a simple one...simple but true.
They say, quite rightly, that they are not responsible for the crisis. The Capitalist class of speculators, bankers, financiers and compliant politicians are.
It is estimated that HALF THE POPULATION will be engaged in violent protests nationwide over the coming weeks and months.
A proportionate response given the circumstances.
Progressives everywhere send them their support

Socialism is truly the way forward

Capitalism = "The rich get richer and the poor go on austerity when it all goes in the shitter."

Welcome to that age of anarchy???

let's face it...ALL our precious models are failing us.

Socialism, Communism,Capitalism, small s-socialism, Politics, Religons, Law, boundries and borders. Heck, you can't even rely on the food supply, water supply or the power supply.


So what is the alternataive??

Well Stalin said man was the problem. No man, no problem.

But that just makes him sound like an extreme feminist to me lol. I think before the ladies take over they'd need to be able to all find a way to continue to reproduce without any sperm being required, and be able to keep that up (either that or they freeze an inhuman amount of sperm - it would have to be an impossibly inhuman amount though).

The Y chromosome is disappearing anyway, nature is at the will of the Femi-Nazis.
