The article is a case of the pot calling the kettle soiled. It avoids the essence of Syriza in order to insinuate it is wonderful.
It is obvious by now that Syriza wants a deal with the Euro austerity bosses: you give us some "humanitarian" crumbs, so we can sell the continuing economic oppression to the Greek people. And indeed, a news report confirmed Tsipras begging for exactly that. ( http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/mar/20/greece-financial-crisis-eu-offers-funds-in-return-for-urgent-reforms ) Syriza is all about negotiating, not about arousing, convincing, and organizing the Greek people for a break from austerity. Whatever his one article, the conclusion that Callinicos reaches is accurate: Syriza is the replacement for PASOK, the disgraced social democratic party. Syriza's rise in votes occurred in step with PASOK's loss of votes. "He propagandizes, you miss the overall picture, I do brilliant analysis." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
