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

I hear you Tante... all the speeches I've heard by leader Alexis Tsipras are in themselves quite radical, but in a good way. He is openly anti-establishment, and have vowed to hunt down corrupt/capitalist-driven offshores and operations for example. Like blatant misuse of community funds, and prime cause of not being able to pay the loans. No bank bailouts and full sanction to dirty coorporate leaders. And that in no way democracy is at risk. Many many principles voiced out that we crypto-geeks hold so dear.

But politicians are politicians and we all know how they're like. This "party" came about quite in the opposite manner of any traditional party, nd this will be a grand experiment too... So who knows?

The atomic bomb was a nasty dirty old thing, but ended giving us "good" nuclear power... if you get my meaning.

idk... All I see is faux-democracy everywhere, bullsh!t-capitalism, and ever more centralized power and loss of liberties. The labels certainly do not hold up in this day and age.

Give me something new that proposes positive change, and I'll give it a shot. Greece has been absolutely butchered by the austerity measures, down to its knees. The Euro experiment is clearly failing its premisses.
