Left+communist party Syriza is projected to be currently just one seat away from an absolute majority.
That is bad new for all people who have believed the stupid babble of the past five years about state bonds being paid back and credits being paid back. Tsirpas, head of a party that almost by half is formed of radical communists, wants to once again steal from and betray creditors. I would not complain if these creditors were private actors who formed their own decisions regarding their own investments only - unfortunately we are talking about investments made by criminal and ruthless governments in other countries such as my own, who gamble away money for which ordinary people like myself have to come up for, or money that gets created by fresh credit and so hurts a whole rat tail of fiscal contexts that again will have the financial bill in the end paid not by decision makers, but the ordinary people. That starts with insurance business bleeding, and ends with new credits we have to take up and pay for in order to pay for the credit losses by the Greeks.
This article is by a Greek author, about his countrymen and their culture of denying reality. I had read him before repeatedly, and find it very interesting what he has to say about how and why the Greek are so insecure of themselves, have an obvious inferiority complex, and a serious identity problem. It already starts with realising that the modern Greece is far less West-oriented than usually is implied when mentioning "Europe" and "democracy". The identity forming factors have not been democracy or the renaissance, traditional Western values and views, but the orthodox church, and orthodox communism - b
oth of which are hostile to the West.
