Last year, Hilary wrote an article on Syriza’s “preparing for government”.
Now she manages to write another article on Greece without even mentioning what Greece needs to do to end its crisis – leave the euro.

A very interesting article which further illustrates the dire situation in which Greece finds itself. The social conditions which resemble 1930s Germany in so many senses where financial humiliation at the insistance of external bodies (financial and state rather than simply state in this instance) have resulted in a radical rise of the far right and the disintegration of domestic political structures. The Greek people are on their knees as a result of the insistance of the central European financial institutions and a right wing press agenda which purely focusses on wealth rather than people.
Post WW2 the emphasis in Europe has always been that we can not allow this situation to be repeated yet as Europe sleepwalks into the imposition of totally unsustainable fiscal measures on the Greek people, a once proud nation faces collapse and the rise of racist policies and the intolerable prospect of alliance between the centre and far right.
Greece and the Greek people, despite all the corruption that has gone before, need supportive policies from Europe not simply bail outs with attached further debt and an inherent right wing financial and political agenda. The beautiful irony in all this is that the public sector which is being systematically replaced by the private sector at the insistence of central europe, was the sector of society which could not avoid tax. And it was and is the private sector which continues to avoid tax and allow Greek people to starve and Greek society to fragment.
