Talk about breaking down an open door. The main interest in Syriza has always been not what they would do as head of the state but as an alternative to the Leninist model of party-building. in some ways they are more effective out of office. Perhaps the most auspicious line of march would have been the creation of such parties all across Europe coordinating with each other to transform the EU, or to raise hell in a coordinated fashion to change the relationship of class forces. If the German left was what it was during the heyday of the Greens and the autonomist squatter streetfighting campaigns, things would look a lot different today. That's one of the reasons Latin American has made such strives--the left is a lot more organized and has acted in concert. One of the reasons I am irked by so much of the sideline crabbing about Syriza treachery, especially from the Brits, is their inability to mount a powerful response to their own ruling class. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
