Greece: Populist fronts as alternative to popular fronts and united workers fronts?

[Die Neue Zeit]

Left criticisms of the bourgeois collaboration inherent in Popular Fronts are well known enough across the left that they don't need repeating at great detail. Less known are criticisms of the anti-party culture inherent in United Workers' Fronts, the notion that workers organizing into a class for itself, overcoming non-worker hegemony, and seizing class-based political rule is possible without a party-movement.

With increased media chatter on SYRIZA's options, and less recent discussions on historical "workers governments" resolutions of the Comintern and on the political wheeling and dealing of the Paris Commune, are we seeing the possibility of a front-based alternative to the two traditional Front models?

Are we pretending syriza is working class now?

[Die Neue Zeit]

I'm referring to a diversity of political parties that support, at a minimum, making all political and related administrative offices operate on the basis of occupants’ standards of living being at or slightly lower than the median equivalent for professional and other skilled workers, as well as making all political and related administrative offices subject to immediate recall from any of multiple avenues (especially in cases of abuse of office).

Other measures are for consideration as well, such as but not limited to: expanding current individual abilities to bear arms, mass media overhaul, suppression of all state debts, making all financial services a public utility and thereby establishing a public monopoly on money supply control (read: nationalizing all banks and credit unions), and enacting swift measures against capital flight and all other forms of elitist economic blackmail (http://www.revleft.com/vb/blog.php?b=1171).
