This is part of a worldwide neoliberal project. Any citizen of any country who thinks they are immune is ignorant or in deep denial. We are all Greece. The sooner we realize it the sooner we can organize worldwide to challenge our corporate masters and the venal bureaucrats they purchase with their Ill-gotten gains.
Pre-publication summary: Five months of intense negotiations between Greece and the Eurogroup never had a chance of success. Condemned to lead to impasse, their purpose was to pave the ground for what Dr Schäuble had decided was ‘optimal’ well before our government was even elected: That Greece should be eased out of the Eurozone in order to discipline member-states resisting his very specific plan for re-structuring the Eurozone.
- This is no theory.
- How do I know Grexit is an important part of Dr Schäuble’s plan for Europe?
- Because he told me so!
I wrote this article not as a Greek politician critical of the German press’ denigration of our sensible proposals, of Berlin’s refusal seriously to consider our moderate debt re-profiling plan, of the European Central Bank’s highly political decision to asphyxiate our government, of the Eurogroup’s decision to give the ECB the green light to shut down our banks.
