(en) Greece, If elections could change something they will
have been abolished. (gr) [machine translation]
What happens when we clichés come true? For the third time in nine months, the Greek
people will be called upon "to decide on the fate of". We argue here that a decision will
neither get, nor fortune will kathorisei.Afto will happen again is to authorize some
rescuers to do as they think and interpret according to their own target the result of
"popular will" by failing course almost every election promise. This is how the "money
there" by GAP arrived in the first memorandum of Zapeia 1,2 and 3 of Samara in the second,
and finally (;) by tearing them from Tsipras in the third and longest.
So when we see each coming to be like the past there is no reason to trust the new coming.
And they themselves will be.
The truth of course is that not to blame individuals but the parliamentary system itself
which they serve and which has nothing to do with the substance of dimokratias.Oi basic
principles of parliamentary democracy is the representation and outsourcing. Choosing
through our voting those who would engage in politics, we disclaim responsibility and the
ability to control ourselves in public affairs.
So but our freedom, supposedly guaranteed by democracy is illusory because the
decision-making power is concentrated in the hands of elected bodies are usually the elite
of all kinds. Note here that the concept of representation is based on the widely
cultivated by the elites but totally undemocratic belief that the people are unable to
aftodiefthynthei and therefore needs some "excellent" will rule the effectively. These
elected excellent are the civilian personnel of democracy which in our time is not playing
despite the role of conveyor and enforcement in society the imperatives of capital and
markets. We recall only that in ancient Athens (the cradle of democracy) the decisions
taken by the assembly of citizens which stipulated officials primarily through the draw
just because they did not accept any distinction between politicians and citizens.
Let's come to today. Nobody does believe that staff will emerge from the elections will be
able to come into conflict with the markets and capital to serve the interests of the
"bottom"? The truth is that this will never happen in a capitalist system It has fixed the
economy growth and profit as the supreme importance. Any conflict would be strictly
defined so as not to jeopardize the capitalist economy and thus play this
staff. In this context the signing of the third memorandum is neither a defeat nor simply
prodosia.Itan act of political survival.
Make no mistake! The people did not come to the fore when voting representatives nor when
answering yes or no to ridiculous questions posed by power. Instead the greater
expectations invested in elections and referenda, the deeper the disappointment following
their refutation. Especially as their results interpreted everything for themselves. Truth
in what he said recently, not the "proud Greek people"? The euro, in the EU, austerity, in
Samara, the canals in Schauble, the bad deal proposed by Juncker (to come to a worse end)?
Or it is expressed by the damn? And what we conclude from what NOT followed. That our
people now accept austerity or that the new memorandum is not "ethelodoulia"?
The only sure thing is that after the "proud ochiden saw rebellion but disappointment and
demobilization. This is because whatever momentum there was guided from above, excellent
cheirisimi from power and therefore sold out night of celebration. After Tsipras chose (
and not forced) to put the people in front for a week, after he parked on again to
continue alone and clarify the landscape of media and outside.
What can be done? Magic recipes do not exist but we would like to raise some general
directions.
Initially we are clear that if one wants true democracy and popular sovereignty has not
only removed from any form of attribution, confidence in party machinery and hierarchies
and to seek syllogikopoiisi through direct-democratic formations and game communities. For
example, for several years running assemblies residents in several neighborhoods of Athens
(Agia Paraskevi, Agios Dimitrios, Peristeri, Petralona, Kypseli and elsewhere) who call
people to consult and act on issues that concern him; to be understand that democracy was
not defeated by markets but the assignment, belief that the Messiah will save us with or
without ties.
It is equally obvious that democracy and capitalism go hand in hand The development of
productive forces, the mobility of capital, overcoming the crises can not be
democratically. Term existence of democracy is to defeat capitalism and even at its core,
the imaginary meanings and the meaning to rule-the lives of his subjects. Profit,
marketing, consumerism, domination over nature. If man still considers them as important
in life, then any possible rupture with the markets will simply be ineffective.
It is finally clear that internationalism is the only way out. The break with the markets
can not be a case of a country. Even if a robust international movement started from there
needed that will prevent the counterattack capital. There will thus gain nothing by
turning against the idea of a united Europe.
Faced with the brutal bureaucracy of Brussels, in a return to centralization of national
states or Europe of the nations of the far right, we have to oppose the European
confederation of cooperating nations that promotes freedom, equality and justice.
