Exactly, although Germany preaches, the PIGS have kept the euro artificially low, without them it will become like the Swiss franc and make German exports very difficult, although it is perverse, Germany does benefit from having countries like Greece in the Europe and should really do more to assist them as for them to be as productive as Germany is to all intents and purposes impossible, and that is the problem...

Greece is going commie, if they thought they knew austerity before, they haven't a clue as to what they're in for. Unless you're part of the corrupt government-leeching off the people, you'll be living below poverty with no hope to find success. Good luck with that. Even the government can't leech forever. But I have no high horse, we're going down the same road in the USA.

For reference, Syriza is not communist. It's a pure radical left coalition comprised of about a dozen groups, including democratic socialists.
No one has a clue how on earth this os going to play out.

I really wish the best for Greece, but in the end, the policies will be the same, and I don't see anything good coming from it. But I'm a lifelong capitalist (now called anarchist???) Let the people work, innovate, do things, and don't hinder them. But the far left is always for more government which means more regulations, which means people can't work and innovate, IMO. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the far left nor the far right. Both of them want to rule everyone's life and think they know better. And I'm not against social safety nets either. I just think there is a balance, and financially - not socially, I'm probably on the right side of the spectrum Wink
