There is some truth in the line "we'll do a deal but not with Tsirpas"; but not a lot of truth. The truth is hat Syriza has frightened the bourgeoisie, and they will heave a sigh of relief if Syriza are defeated. The neoliberals will still want their pound of flesh, though. The clarity of the politics in Greece contrasts remarkably with those here in Oz. We are expected to worry about boat people (refugees) and ISIS who according to the Prime Minister are coming for us. We are also supposed to believe the budget is broken and needs fixing. In Greece the enemy is out there for all to see. Syriza have stayed true to their mandate (given a wobble or two), so even if they are driven from office, they will be able to stay proud. Those who have heard their masters' voices, may win on Sunday. They campaign under the slogan "We are not traitors". But that fools no one. The result though will be a terrible tragedy for Greece. All talk of a better deal, if Tsirpas goes, will vanish like bubbles. Defeating Tsirpas and his party will solve nothing & that will become clearer over the next few months. comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
