If Papandreou allows these cut-to-the-bone neoliberal austerity measures to go through, he will create in his nation the conditions perfectly to create a national resistance on par, or quite possibly shadowing the uprising of Papadopolous. He had better be very careful in choosing where his allegiences lie. He has a chance to return his people to the principles of social democracy, even though they might be cast out. They are already pariahs to a brown-fearing Europe. They can retain their pride, and their national character, sans the rampant insider deals and corruption, and try to return their economy to a semblance of stability with a (albeit severely reduced) drachma, or he can bow to the transnational banker tyrants occupying Greece, and create such resentment amongst the Greek people that blood and thunder will be inevitable.

The momentary flicker of democracy in Greece and already it has been turned over by the grasping greed of the filthy rich. Why do the poor always get to take a pay cut, but the rich always get a raise, even when they are doing nothing to justify the huge amount that they still would make if they played by the rules and paid fair wages? 

The sad thing is so many in labor, blue or white collar, who arekeeping their heads down, are cutting their noses off to spite their faces. We only need to return to the balanced captialism we previously had before the jerks in suits were allowed to buy the government and subvert everything, but profit. To hell with them all.
