Charlie,
I'm fine with noting a history for comments made, yet I think there is a
deeper message you want to offer us, namely, that you thought you knew
long ago where Syriza was headed. (LP claims you have a KKE head space,
but I don't know that).
But Syriza was never a thing, a unity. This is known for sure now, if
some didn't know it before: Syriza has split with the formation of
Popular Unity.
So, I'd welcome your thoughts on where Popular Unity is headed and if
you could support it or somehow work in solidarity with Popular Unity?
Thanks, Paul Zarembka

LP 2015:
"I don't think I have had much to say about Greece except [the currency
issue]. Greece's problems are pretty intractable, ... a function of ...
its semi-peripheral economic status."
LP 2012:
"If and when a struggle emerges between SYRIZA and the Wall
Street/Washington/Bonn axis, the left will need to mobilize to defend
the bolder measures such as nationalizing the banks while protecting the
government against fascist attacks and CIA subversion. In an escalating
series of confrontations, it cannot be ruled out that popular power will
dictate the outcome and usher in a new type of society that hearkens
back to the original Marxist vision of a classless society. But to stand
on the sidelines now, because SYRIZA is not 'revolutionary', is a big
mistake."

But then, Donald Trump used to be in favor of single-payer healthcare.
