Greece, Europe and the Neoliberal Nightmare: Is There a Way Out?

[Boreal]

3. This will never happen

The EU is an undemocratic, regressive and thoroughly neoliberal entity pursuing nothing short of open class war policies against the common people of Greece (as well as those in the other highly indebted nations of the eurozone) while it protects the interests of banks and big corporations. If Syriza believes it can change the institutional framework and the policies of the EU, then even the great revolutions of past history may pale in comparison to its accomplishments.

To even think it possible is delusional.

Thus, the struggle, as ever, is national while international coalition building remains essential. With a neoliberal Europe or not, we are still very far away from sorting out the relationship between ethnicity, nationality and class for the building of a radical international social order.

That just sounds like some warmed over Marxist rhetoric that has little bearing on what it's going to take for Greeks to pull themselves out of this mess. I feel very sorry for them because they're going to need some brilliant minds and leadership to do it but it seems like most of those are working for financial elite.

Very good documentary (paid for with crowd funding!) on the EU:
