A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

SYRIZA Backs Down -- What Else Could They Do?

In the face of heavy pressure from Eurozone autocrats, the Greek government agreed to a four-month extension of a bail-out scheme in a version it had previously rejected.  Many Greeks are disappointed. A majority, however, are continuing to back the government for the time being.  The article linked to below explains why.

We must remember that the Greek government is standing virtually alone among the governments of the world in actively pushing back against the German-British Diktat.  What bravery!

The U.S. government should back SYRIZA in its push for economic democracy in the birthplace of democracy itself.
