GUEST,Grishka BS: Greece in meltdown? What do you think? (232* d) RE: BS: Greece in meltdown? What do you think? 03 Jul 15


What do yo7 mean by a "revolution" - the establishment of a socialist system in Greece?
Who am I to tell Greeks what "system" they should introduce? They must make up their minds. (It seems to me that most of them love their small businesses, which would be incompatible with classical Marxist doctrine.)

What I mean is that fighting tax evasion and all other forms of corruption is at the heart of the problem. Most Greeks would agree, but do not want the fight to start at their own cash register - for fear that it might end there as well. Therefore, it must be done simultaneously, and by institutions that are sufficiently trusted not to favour some particular clique secretly. Syriza claimed that position, but few voters really believed them - the others just thought it worth a try for want of a better alternative. Last week they all tried to cash their savings.
