Many years of energy was created in promoting
Tsipras as an anti-austerity politician starting from almost a decade ago when
Syrizas predecessor Sinaspismos didn’t have much chance of getting into
Parliament and they promoted this alleged young radical, from a well
established family which made its money in the era of the Junta. All that
energy was dissipated in less than 6 months when on a historic day 14th
August (day of invasion of Cyprus in 1974) Syriza voted for the 3rd
Occupation Bailout.
For the first time in Greek history a party that
originated from the Left fought for state power. That hasn’t happened before in
the 100 year history of the Greek Left. Why did it happen now? There can be no
other explanation as we aren’t privy to the inner workings of political parties
and we can only observe from afar, that it was all pre-agreed and pre-arranged
from the beginning. What the political forces of the capitalist establishment
could not achieve was needed to be achieved by Syriza in power. That explains
Tsipras intransigence over the election of the President way back in December
2014. If in a few months time he had no ideological or other hang ups in
governing on the backs of ND-PASOK why could he have not provided support to
the President supported by ND?
Neoliberals
in Disguise: 4th Reich goes ‘Left’
Whilst a small book was produced way back at the end
of 2013 with the title
‘Syriza
Neoliberals in Disguise’
with
eyewitness reports about the actual role of Syriza during the strikes and
occupations that could have brought down Samaras ND, the extent of the
capitulation of Syriza was so immense and so ridiculous that one is left with
the idea that their primary role in life
was to destroy once and for all any notion of a Left. The Syriza bandwagon
and cheerleaders who were so catholic in their support for Syriza’s radicalism
were just a cover for pure unadulterated globalism, a left veneer of the 4th
Reich. Any criticism of Syriza was seen to be anathema. The worst supporters of
Syriza abroad were the Anglo-Americans. Various individuals arrived in Athens
during the elections labelling Tsipras the Chavez of the Meditterranean. The irony of the situation was that a reporter
arrived from Venezuela who stated the situation as is.
Greece: Pressure on Syriza to Deliver
http://imfoccupationgreece.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/greece-pressure-on-syriza-to-deliver.html
This was part of the propaganda to raise the profile
so Tsipras could sell the 3rd MoU. Debt is a business and like any other
business it requires marketing. That was the primary purpose of Syrizas
globalist bandwagon, to sell the 3rd MoU and reduce the fallback.
OXI
Referendum
Tsipras staying in power by ND-PASOK-Potami
Believing the propaganda from the oligarchic
newsnetworks, Syriza took a gamble with the referendum which backfired. They
expected a close call between the YES and OXI and Tsipras was visibly shaken
when he stood on a platform in front of hundreds of thousands in Athens. As
reported by Varoufakis when the OXI won, he was in depression. No one believes
by selling the debt burden of the 3rd MoU the Syriza chiefs aren’t
in the business of making a killing.
After all their integrated relationships since 1989
with the economic establishment have been previously well documented. What is so ridiculous is to
believe where the 1st and 2nd Bailout/MoU failed that the
3rd one will succeed. There is even a saying for the occasion. If
you keep on doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result but expecting a different one, then
you must be dumb. The Syriza tops aren’t dumb. They are well educated. So it
isn’t an issue of miscalculation, that the ‘negotiations’ didn’t go according
to plan etc. Politics is a business and the business of politics is maintaining
the business even if everyone else goes to pot. Keeping your hand in the honeypot
is what this is about.
When working class districts voted around 85% for
OXI it reaffirmed that people wanted a break with the prisonhouse of the EU.
Thousands have died due to the policies of economic genocide. They were ready
for rupture. The leadership was lacking.
Mass
immigration flows for the 4th Reich
Cheap labour is all the rage in the EU alongside
zero hours contracts etc. With the extension of the EU east and the adding of
another 100 million citizens and the maintenance of a national currency in a whole series of countries e.g. Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary etc. a
whole series of privatisations occurred whereby Greeks were replaced by eg
Bulgarians (cleaning contracts in Ministry of Economics) and the aim has always
been to reduce those Greeks that remain in work to Asian levels of pay, whilst
remaining in the EZ. This is pretty well known and clear, but the fake left and
its adoption of mass immigration flows under guise of ‘non discrimination’ is
just the fake left veneer of the 4th Reich. Indeed characteristic of
the fraud perpetrated by Syriza is to place in key ministries rabid
neo-liberals eg. Ministry of Defence and Foreign Ministry. The coalition with
ANEL was agreed behind closed doors but everyone knew it was coming as the big
bourgeoisie will always govern in Greece, they would never allow a fake left
party totally on its own.
Whilst the Foreign Minister Kotzias produced a
booklet called ‘Patriotic Left’ about how small countries can survive under globalisation
in reality it was just propaganda as to how a small country can become an
appendage of the 4th Reich appropriating leftwing labels for an
extreme right wing course. National socialism in practice...
The Three Stooges...
Syriza made a massive hue and cry about closing down
existing immigrant receptions centres as they were allegedly inhuman (whilst
mass unemployment for Greeks and the 20k suicides due to the economic genocide
programme wasn’t) in order then to give the green light abroad that whoever
arrives in Greece can move on as it is now officially a free for all. The
tourist centre of Athens started to resemble a third world zone again and now
Syriza was forced to reopen new ‘reception’ centres. Obviously these are all
govt contracts and he who signs the deals obviously gets a cut. Despite
alleging they could house and feed the planet and that they would have ‘humane
treatment’ what would that mean in practice if 2m arrived in a single year? How
could Greece cope? It couldn’t and Syriza does not give a shit if the last
heavy industry of Greece tourism is run to the ground, as long as they can
deliver what the 4th Reich demands an oversupply of cheap and pliant
labour.
(UN Population Division report states Germany
requires 150m immigrants over a 50 years period approx. 3.6m annually just for
a single EU country)
NATO
Israel lovefest.
If there ever was a sign that Syriza is deeply
neo-liberal and reactionary to the core is its foreign policy. It pretended it
required a deal with Russia and China to break out of the economic logjam and
Lafazanis Fake Left Platform played its part in this going on little trips to
Russia allegedly cutting deals but not breaking any EU sanctions on the country
and alleviating the hit Greek agriculture took. Instead they shipped over
Ukraine’s injured soldiers so the could recuperate in Greece’s state hospitals
that no longer serve the Greek poor.
Kotzias was seen singing songs with NATOs leaders,
the butchers of Yugoslavia, Afganistan, Libya. Not even a fake lip service to
an ‘ethical foreign policy’. Just 4th Reich promoters, blatantly.
To crown it all off they signed a military pact with
Israel for joint military exercises, in
other words to allow Israeli military to train Greeks in shooting down
unarmed protestors in cold blood.
KKE
propping up Syriza
KKE pushed through the line of abstaining in the
referendum, campaigned openly for keeping the Euro and during the vote for the
3rd Bailout abstained from filibustering it. Fools assume they can
maintain their existence following the establishment due to their history. They
don’t realise that in this era if words don’t match deeds, you disintegrate. You
have no political reason to exist. This will become clearer as time goes by.
KKE goons defending Parliament with the riot police during 1st MoU
Fake
Left Platform-Syriza in Disguise
Whilst Syriza used riot police to crush El Dorado
anti-gold protestors and this was Lafazanis Ministry they went quiet. They
changed their tune and were now concerned about peoples jobs in this foreign
owned gold hedge fund which will destroy the eco climate of a tourist area in N. Greece.
Lafazanis who is an old school operator instrumental
in the KKEs governing with New Democracy pretended he was opposed to the 3rd
MoU voting against it over its different phases over the last month. The game
was to try to keep Syriza intact as it voted the whole package. This he
achieved and that was his role. No premature split, no real denunciation of
Tsipras, Dragasakis just a show of political fraud. Now they are pretending
they will create a new movement against the 3rd MoU a split that
occurred just like in New Democracy when
Kammenos (ANEL) broke away. They will be probably be joined by other so-called
anti-MoU forces (Antarsya, Plan B, Drachma party) in other words a new mini
Syriza which have globalism in their DNA. They assume people can keep on
repeating the same mistake in other words, Syriza goes for new elections or
stays in power with ND votes (immaterial how it occurs), mass privatisations
occur in the ports, railways and airports plus mass evictions for mortgage
defaults and people will rally to a new anti-MoU front, elect it so that it
eventually pushes through the …4th Bailout.
There is no point in elections. People used Syriza to
get rid of ND-PASOK. They then voted in the OXI referendum under conditions of
24/7 propaganda, under capital controls and under the threat of closing all
banks indefinitely and paying zero pensions. Abstention is already around 40%.
New elections will solve nothing. They are pointless. Abstention could reach +60%
What
Next?
Parliamentarism is reaching its impasse. The longer
it continues in this form makes it absolutely pointless. Since the mass
protests of 2011 which destroyed the two main bourgeois parties ND-PASOK and
brought Syriza into the political vacuum created, we are now entering totally
unchartered waters. Merkels EU burnt Syriza so quickly that one assumes they
cannot be that politically dumb. Syriza cannot remain in power in its present
form, it is imploding. GD is in a self-imposed
political exile that serves its purpose as it doesn’t seek or desire political
power and the KKE sounds and talks that it has just arrived from another
planet.
The new struggles forced on Greek farmers and workers
with the new round of economic cuts will create new political conditions and a
new situation. Court martialling workers and breaking strikes using law courts
and the riot police (as Samaras ND did) alone will be hard to swallow taking
into account no other political formation exists on the horizon that will take
the situation left. But without a fighting left from the ground up there will
be nothing …left.
Greek history does not start or end with Syriza, it's end is just a new beginning.
