Greece: Operation "mutation of the Left" has started!

[nomoba]

“In the script according to the eurozone, the expected ending is: Syriza splits; finance minister Varoufakis makes good his pledge not to sign a surrender and resigns. A government of the centre-left forms, with Alexis Tsipras now allied to the centrist Potami party and with tacit support from a liberal wing of the New Democracy party. Debt relief happens, but on the terms dictated by the lenders, and Syriza survives to complete its mutation into a centre-left social democratic party.”

However, the speed and the violence of this attempt of mutation, shows that the EFD paid an extremely high cost which may lead to its fall. Indeed, Tsipras administration forced EFD to show its real face to the European people and the public opinion has changed towards the support of Greece. Additionally, the strong antitheses emerged inside eurozone, which were hidden under the supposed solid France-German axis. Now that the European citizens realized that Europe became a brutal financial dictatorship, the next crucial phase of the war will be also the elections in Spain and Portugal. Greece can't change Europe alone.

In any case, more people now understand what the mutation of the Left would mean. It would mean that the Left would be absorbed progressively by the dominant neoliberal ideology, exactly as it happened with the Social-democrats in Greece and Europe. It would mean a crucial defeat for the European people in the ongoing class warfare. It would mean the establishment of the new Feudalism.

[I]t seems to me that a consciously chosen Grexit (or at least a very great readiness to do one) is the only hope for Greece, and, in general, the only chance for a non-feudal Europe is for the current EU/Eurozone system to be either destroyed or so close to complete destruction as to force the European elites to accept a radically New Deal.

In strictly geopolitical terms it could very well be the case that the only move available is *not* just 'Grexit', but could instead be *outward*, *expanding* moves of *outreach* and *solidarity*, as is pointed-to in the article.

Greece should *not* be made to feel isolated and alone in its movements -- the people of Spain and Portugal are mentioned, and also those of France.

Have we gotten word yet about Italy -- ? Yeah, I know it's supposed to be worldwide, but anything yet on *them* -- ? So they're all good for solidarity, then -- ? Can we call it a 'green light' -- ? How about now -- ? Okay, how about *now* -- ? Good, good, then that's all set. Thanks, see you at the club, all the best to the spouse and the little ones, take care now.

When slaves escaped from their plantation, their owners would send armed men to hunt them down.

Apparently this also happens to nations who are debt slaves.

I wouldn't call it mutation but transformation. Transformation into just another bourgeois party...
