(9,137 posts)The better and best examples are for us to create. But debt was also then one of the main mechanisms how free men became slaves owned by other men, in addition to war and birth as slave.
But the point was that those Greeks who know their history have good understanding of the relations of debt, slavery and democracy. They value freedom, grow less and less afraid and they are really fed up with Troika and the whole corrupt political system and they really want a revolution, as peacefull as possible, and to continue eating well, singing and dancing, and contributing to the well being of their communities - first and foremost extended families, then neighbourhoods and villages.
It's really the euroelites and financial class and their mouthpieces that are clueless and alianated from reality. The financial commissioner Olli Rehn (who BTW is from the same town as I and whose sister was my classmate) believed that forcing both Pasok and ND to commit to the terms of the "rescue" package dictated by ECB and IMF meant something. As if real people didn't matter at all. He and the rest of elites become so alianated from reality that they start acting like sociopaths that value money and moneysystem more than people and life in general. We are all parts of this insanity and the political and financial elites are most insane. But let's not be afraid of getting better and becoming sane again.
