Greece and the Endgame of the Neocolonial Model of Exploitation (February 19, 2015)

30. Yes, which is why every nation is watching what is taking place in the EU. One would be a fool

to want Greece to not pay its debts and skip out on the EU, and no doubt those negotiating are fully aware of the consequences.
Germany's hardline stance gets no sympathy from many here who see it for what it is.

We, in the US, fully understand how debt is foisted on the people in any nation, when we say privatizing profit & socializing risk, so we have much sympathy for the predatory capitalism that makes slaves of us all. Austerity is not the answer, and TPTB know this full well, which is even more evil. The debt is always on the back of the poor.

It isn't just the US that has to talk more about the poor and the middle class, these games are played out very well by Germany and the EU, it's a game of "beggar thy neighbor". Two people that have outlined this so well are Heiner Flassbeck & (see below) Richard Wolff. I feel Richard Wolff explains it a bit better, if you go to the link I provided below, his website, you will find a vast amount of info from a prominent US economist who's background bio is below too. These are pivotal times.

Everyday we are learning what happens in any nation, in any part of the globe, affects us all. We are all connected with the same hopes and dreams, so we applaud Syriza, we applaud this revolutionary new gov't that is uplifting its downtrodden people. I so stand with this new way of thinking, and am not alone. It's truly inspiring.
