International politics

[sazuke]

good decision. let the people decide.

should have been done before the first bailout.

[Jotenko]

To be honest I think this is exactly what Tsipras wanted.

He made is game and all the Europe will look at him as the guy who faced troika.

Now that the time has come to make decisions he puts the responsibility on the people's shoulders.

SOCIALISM:

You have 2 cows.
The State takes one and gives it to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM:

You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM:

You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

BUREAUCRACY:

You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.

CAPITALISM:

You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies.
You sell them and retire on the income.

AND THEN THERE'S THE GREEK SYSTEM:

You have two cows borrowed from the French and Germans.
You eat both of them.
The French & Germans call to collect their milk, but you cannot deliver so you call the IMF.
The IMF loans you two cows.
You eat both of them.
The French, Germans and the IMF call to collect their cows/milk.
You decide to call a referendum.

[Jotenko]

Faliro, what do you think will be the outcome of the referendum?

[Faliro]

My instinct tells me that the Greeks will vote to stay within the EZ.

BTW what you are seeing in Greece atm is the reason millions of Greeks like my grandfather left Greece in the 30s, 40s and 50s and never returned.

Greek system is simply keep the two cows, they die of old age while you debate who gets to milk them. You borrow some new cows from the bank, the new cows get butchered for steaks. When the bank asks for its cows back, you state that the whole banking system is unfair.

Greeks are gamblers. They just let the situation get to this stage most the time. Perhaps it is in my DNA too.. I wrote my entire dissertation in 2 days.. I had 6 months to write it in, but simply could not even attempt it until I had 48 hours left.

It seems pretty calm in Greece. I mean Greece has Turkish military jets violating its airspace daily, communists smashing banks and capitalist symbols..over a million illegals scattered across the cities sleeping rough.. Greece is generally quite lawless. So to be honest, I don't think Greeks will panic. Even when the Junta took over in the 1960s, everyone just went to work normally the next day.
