"Greek radical left wins election, threatening market turmoil"


"The sovereign Greek people today have given a clear, strong, indisputable mandate. Greece has turned a page. Greece is leaving behind the destructive austerity, fear and authoritarianism. It is leaving behind five years of humiliation and pain," Tsipras said to a crowd of rapturous flag-waving party supporters.

The 40-year-old Tsipras campaigned on promises of renegotiating the terms for Greece's 240 billion-euro ($270 billion) bailout, which has kept the debt-ridden country afloat since mid-2010.

To qualify for the cash, Greece has had to impose deep and bitterly-resented public spending, salary and pension cuts and repeated tax hikes. Its progress in reforms is reviewed by debt inspectors from the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank, collectively known as the "troika," before each installment of bailout funds can be disbursed.

"The verdict of the Greek people ends, beyond any doubt, the vicious circle of austerity in our country," Tsipras said. "The verdict of the Greek people, your verdict, annuls today in an indisputable fashion the bailout agreements of austerity and disaster. The verdict of the Greek people renders the troika a thing of the past for our common European framework."

His party predecessor chief, Alekos Alavonos, questions his intentions. Saying SYRIZA had “radical left origins…(It’s) now a moderate party.”

Tsipras calls himself “a compromiser because I want to have realistic goals.” At the same time saying “I’m very decisive if I know it’s necessary to have a fight.”

[bentech]

but im still reading through this exhaustive essay in review i found.

So I had a look at the essay and all seemed ok until I got to this

"An amazing figure of this tale of compromise and deception is the Iron Lady, the British prime minister through eleven years, Margaret Thatcher. While not being British myself, I have always had an admiration for this lady who managed to steer Britain out of stagnation and into a new period of growth and economic progress for the masses.

Watching her earnest battles against the machinations of the Community, one feels like knighting her all over again. Her sincere awareness of what would be in the interests of Britain, her sense of fairness, and her stamina in the face of intrigue and deceit is nothing short of astonishing. In the end, however, infighting in her cabinet wore down her position, and the strongest defendant of British interests in the Community had to give way to much more Eurocentric persons."

At this point I had to conclude that the essay writer was a fucking idiot, I didn't bother with page 2

hadnt gotten that far,

The Collapse of Europe?

John Feffer
January 27, 2015.


-forward- tomsdispatch


Remember the glory days of the 1990s, when our interconnectedness -- the ever-tighter embrace of Disney characters, the Swoosh, and the Golden Arches -- was endlessly hailed? It was the era of “globalization,” of Washington-style capitalism triumphant, and the planet, we were told, would be growing ever “flatter” until we all ended up in the same mall, no matter where we lived. Only a few years later in a twenty-first-century world that, from Ukraine to Libya, Syria to Pakistan, seems to be cracking open under the strain of religious-political conflicts of every sort, isn't it curious how little you hear about that interconnectedness? And yet, through time as well as space, we couldn’t be more linked (and not just online), as the Charlie Hebdo murders and the response to them indicated.

Think of the Parisian killers of that moment as messengers from the European past. After all, the place we have long called “the Middle East” was largely a post-World War I European creation. The map of the area was significantly drawn, and a number of the countries in the region cobbled together, by and for the convenience of European colonial powers France and England. Jump slightly less than a century into the future and what one set of powers created, a successor power, the last “superpower” on planet Earth, helped blow a hole through in 2003 with its invasion of Iraq -- and the damage is still spreading.

In the rubble of American Iraq, that old European “Middle East” has collapsed in a paroxysm of violence, chaos, and religious extremism (hardly surprising given the circumstances). And on a planet that's been “globalizing” since the first European ships with cannons appeared off the coasts of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, how could that crumbling region not send a message back to the world that created it? That message has been arriving regularly in rusty cargo vessels, as well as in Islamic State videos aimed at the Muslim communities of Europe, and two weeks ago in the outrages in Paris. Now, the Middle East is threatening to blow a hole in Europe.

It’s a grim irony that TomDispatch regular John Feffer, the director of Foreign Policy In Focus, takes up today. The disintegration of the Middle East is visibly blowing back on Europe and its hopes for an integrated future. It will certainly be blood-drenched years before we can hope to know what shape the post-colonial, post-European, possibly even post-superpower Middle East might take. In the meantime, the shape of a Europe in which the right (and in some places, the left) is rising amid an upswelling of Islamophobia remains remarkably undetermined.

The European Union, that great integrating experiment of the last century, may now, as Feffer writes, be tottering. There is, however, at least one new form of “integration” that might be emerging. In France (which, in seeming imitation, if not parody, of the post-9/11 Bush administration, declared “war” on Islamic extremism in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo killings), Belgium, Germany, and possibly elsewhere, national security states built on the American model are being strengthened in the American fashion. We may, in other words, be seeing the sinews of a new, increasingly integrated global security state taking form amid the ruins of the old Middle East and at a moment when the European Union threatens to dissolve.
