Politics Done Right on KPFT - Americans need a Greek moment

[egbertowillies]

I will be frank. I was into the Greek referendum as if it were a referendum here in the United States of America. You see if the Greek had succumb to the fascist extortion by Germany and the Troika then it would have been tantamount to the distressed throughout the world acquiescing to the worldwide plutocracy. It would have meant that even after massive suffering effected by the policies of a failed worldwide economic system, the masses were too scared to make their demands.

The Greek did not blink. They did not bluff. They did not allow themselves to cower. They knew it would be difficult. But they said no. Can America learn something from this? Yes we can.

1. Thanks for this. It's a good episode and covers the Greek situation well....

Especially the reminder of the debunking of the austerity solution embraced by the right-wingers.
