(50,254 posts)The pro-austerity parties were completely humiliated...between them(PASOK and ND) they took 33% of the vote. PASOK, a party that used to be on the left, fell to 13%.
It shows that the Greek people are not acquiescent in what the financial imperialists are trying to impose on them...and that they may find new and creative alternatives...such as a true and full democracy(not only political, social, and economic). These alternatives are things people will be willing to make sacrifices for...because, unlike the austerity demands of the EU, they have something positive to lead to in the end.
You would have voted for an anti-austerity party if you'd been Greek wouldn't you? And I hope you'd have been in the streets and be planning to stay there now. A vote for an austerity party is a vote for a permanently right-wing and worthless Greece-reduced, perhaps, to the nothingness of the 1920's or even further in the past.
