It’s Time for a Rupture
The fear of Greek exit from the euro should no longer cripple us.

Between Kouvelakis' lines one can hear echoed St Paul's exclamation:
"dixi et salvavi animam meam".
Because although he is right saying that
"if with the February 20 agreement the lenders had agreed to “ensure
liquidity,” if they had delinked its provision from the specific
austerity plans they seek to impose, they would simply have deprived
themselves of the most significant means of exerting pressure they have
at their disposal. That Tsakalotos believed they would do this smacks of
extreme political naivety, if not willful blindness"
he suffers himself from the same illness.
That Kouvelakis believes "the activation of the popular mobilization" is
always at the disposal of the government, "smacks of extreme political
naivety, if not willful blindness". And this, not only because the
people is not some kind of matter inert to the political messages of
retreat that government emits since February; not only because a popular
mobilization -beyond a mere demonstration- can not take place on demand;
not only because bourgeois parties and their EU allies will not confine
themselves to just watching the show; not only because there has not
been any organizational initiative to shape an eventual popular
mobilization. There is also a "fundamentally wrong working hypothesis"
that any efficacious popular mobilization could ever be introduced from
above...
