Greek Tragedy ( Capitalism in crisis....again! )
#1
Greek Tragedy ( Capitalism in crisis....again! )
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
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
