Or to put it bluntly: All this talk about "broad left" alliances aiming at getting seats in the institutions of the bourgeois state has been proven in Greece as what it is: creeping in the back side of the capitalist class, and using "mass mobilisations" only as a pressure group to cajole the powers that be into a more friendly position. But not to enable the working people to become the masters of their own fate. In Spain, quite some people had begun sobering up about Podemos after the capitulation of SYRIZA.
