Controlled default without Grexit: A silent, slow death for Greece

[nomoba]

As we approach the end of the four-month truce period between the Greek government and the institutions (ECB, IMF, European Commission), the battle between Greece and the lenders is getting tougher, as expected. Not only Greece, but also the eurocrats appear to be in a difficult position, with limited options under sensitive balances for them.

A non-option for the "emperor" Draghi would be to release his massive Quantitative Easing for Greece too, in order to avoid further dangerous uncertainty. Currently, the QE program is directed to all eurozone members except from Greece which must be "punished" for not obeying anymore to the catastrophic neoliberal policies under the new government. This case would be catastrophic for the plans of the financial and corporate lobbyists, as it would signal to the other members that they could abandon austerity without consequences.

...

The plan shows that the elites want to lead Greece quietly back to the path of the slow death in order to secure the final conditions in the Greek experiment. They have limited options and they fear that many things could go wrong. Tsipras should take advantage of this fact and prepare the country for Grexit, if he hasn't done it already.

Greeks should never have given up their own power, and rely on politicians to deal with the Troika for them. Europeans should never have given up their own power to the Troika in the first place. But then again, what has really changed. If you're not ruled by kings, then you're ruled by capitalists and generals.

As long as any organization is structured in the form of a pyramid, that society will never be free.

The problem with Greece is that we are all brainwashed with capitalist values. After the resistance against the fascist generals in 1973, we just came back to our old ways. The social-democratic government of 1981 did absolutely what they could to give their golden boys whatever money was coming from EU up until the early 00s. How did these boys used it? To buy Posrche and to coerce immigrant women (mostly from eastern Europe) to sex. Then we got into the euro and we crossed the point of no return. (Very) slowly Greeks are starting to wake up but it's gotta be some time until we realize that the problem is the Greek STATE.
