The
Tsipras' Memorandum [set of austerity policies] the "First
time Left" [1] Memorandum, is here. Seven months after his
election to government, in the midst of summer, SYRIZA brought
a third austerity memorandum – a package of barbaric antipeople
measures which crushes what yet remains after five years of crisis
and austerity. The "Left" of Mr.Tsipras proved in pratice
that is the "Left" - as the Italian auto magnate Giovanni
Agnelli used to say - "which can do all those things that the
Right cannot do".
In
other words, it is the kind of "Left" that can say "No"
and actually mean "Yes", that can verbally "tear up
the memorandums" and in practice sign new, even more barbaric
anti-people austerity measures, manipulating and trapping
people's consciousnesses with fake choices , disorientating the
working people for the sake of serving the interests of the
bourgeoisie.
From
the latest developments, the people – especially progressive,
left-wing people, the ones who trusted SYRIZA in the last elections,
who enthusiastically voted "No" in the fraudulent
referendum of Mr.Tsipras – must come to some conclusions. Not only
regarding the character of SYRIZA as the new social-democratic pillar
of a bourgeois political system in the process of being
re-shaped. But also, regarding the character of the capitalist
crisis itself, as well as for the real nature of the EU as an
imperialist, pro-monopoly international union hostile toward the
interests of European peoples.
