Germans warns Greece: no cuts, no aid

135. Necessity is the mother of invention

Greece is dependent from imported oil - for which it would need internationally accepted currency, but the Greek people still maintain relatively strong links to their agrarian roots - people in Athens visit their home villages regularly and as said, many are allready moving out from Athens. I've lived in Greece and know many Greeks, and the state has allready stopped functioning to great extent and Greek people are generally not very "statist" or "legalistic" but anarchists of heart - anarchism of theory and ideology is of secundary importance. Large extended families are still the most basic form of social cohesion.

As for comparisons with Paris Commune, Peak Oil etc. limits of growth make the crucial difference - and we are all in the same boat. What is happening is Greece is the beginning of the process of adaptation to post-growth and post-capitalism, and of course it's often painfull. Greeks get an early start for what will happen everywhere.
