Greece: "Fascism is the extreme perversion of liberalism"

[struggle4progress]

16. The article, from a "revolutionary" website, is thoroughly incoherent: on the one hand,

it suggests that the "ruling elite" is "wilfully breeding a climate of civil war" in order to maintain power (which might be true, for all I know) -- and then, on the other hand, having discussed ongoing problems of political street violence and political murder, the article claims centrism, rather than political extremism, is the real source of problems

Such a claim might sound "smart" in some ears, but it's not really an analysis: it's just a form of "radical chic." It is possible, of course, to hold the view that revolution is appropriate in some circumstances -- and even possible to hold the view that revolution is necessary in a particular definite place and time

But when one chooses to advocate a particular revolution, one then has (I think) a moral OBLIGATION to base the advocacy on a very detailed and careful analysis -- which is not the case in this article: the analysis in this article is just bullshit, that fucks up people's thinking
