I disagreed with most of the article. It was a radical extremist
polemic filled with distortions and half truths. For instance the
author claimed that the US intervened in twice in Greece. While he
didn't mention the years, I'm assuming it involved the civil war in
1949 and the coup in 1967. There was no intervention in 1949. The US
supplied arms and equipment to the democratically elected Greek
government at the time. They were fighting a communist insurgency
that was much worse in comparison to the Shining Path in Latin
America, and the equivalent of Pol Pot. They had a nasty habit of
tieing up and disemboweling those who did not support them. This
included priests, teachers and doctors. Such brave liberators of the
proletariat. The Greek government, with British help and military
advisors finally put down this brutal group in the mid 1950's.
As far as I can figure the second intervention involved the 1967
military coup. What he doesn't mention that the US did sever
relations with Greece immediately afterwards, and froze all military
aid and contracts.
Generally this person is an apologist for the extremist imperialist
communist system of thought. Nothing to do with the left or right
wing, rather he seems to support and serves as an apologist of some
fairly brutal human rights abusers. this sort I prefer to dismiss
and ignore.
