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.


It was the above that I commented on. Syriza is not going to change the undemocratic, neoliberal, class warfare waging nature of the EU, nor the fact that it represents the the interests of banksters and corporations, nor will it change it's institutional structure or policies. The EU was never meant to be democratic. It is run by unelected elitist bureaucrats and the MEPs have next to no input.
