Greece: The Struggle Continues A definitive account of what has transpired over the last few weeks in Greece, and what’s next for Syriza and the European left. by Sebastian Budgen & Stathis Kouvelakis Jacobin magazine, July 14 <https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/07/tsipras-varoufakis-kouvelakis-syriza-euro-debt> Key Points *The government was overtaken by the referendum's momentum. *The ideology of left-Europeanism explains much. *Remaining unprepared for Grexit was deliberate. *The government has two main camps. *The "No" campaign was driven by class. *After the vote, Tsipras revived a discredited opposition. *The Left Platform plans to stay and fight to reclaim Syriza. *Syriza's leadership would like to purge the party. *The new agreement is the worst yet. *It's unknown what resistance will follow. *Syriza's left made some errors. Sebastian Budgen is an editor for Verso Books and serves on the editorial board of Historical Materialism. Stathis Kouvelakis teaches political theory at King’s College London and serves on the central committee of Syriza. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
