Ha-ha, the ultra-reactionary tone of this report reminds me of the response of the absolute monarchies of the 1790s to the French Revolution. The part on "opportunism of the hard left parties" was especially hilarious for its cluelessness. Apparently the author thought that the only "normal" left-wingers are spineless social liberals.

Unlike their counterparts in many other European countries, the leftist parties of Greece have not evolved with the fall of the Berlin Wall, further EU integration, and economic globalization.

Oh yes, those damn commies. Why can't they grow up and sell out like every other "leftist" party in Europe? :laugh:

What a load of *reactionary* shit.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Unreconstructed Stalinists! :ohmy:

[ВАЛТЕР]

"We will need to sharpen our vigilance to defend ourselves and to encourage a robust Greek response to terrorism in the face of exhausted and demoralized security services..."


Probably implies the use of US advisers to the police and government which results in far more aggressive action against the people in the streets.

Also...the fact that the leftists "haven't evolved" is only a good sign. There can be no compromise with the bourgeois.

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

Always good to see demoralized security services.
