I read the failed evolution article and I think it's all accurate, which is scary. The Spanish left-wing party "Podemos" is certainly targeted. And this whole austerity project is lunacy.

Austerity is actually a very logical concept for the capitalists. There's a thread that I posted the other day from Jacobin magazine about what austerity is all about and why it's favored by the bourgeoisie. It IS the class war from the other side and it's worth the read. So, not lunacy from their perspective.

I went back and found the Jacobin article and it's really good. I missed it the first time around.

then austerity IS lunacy and you'll always be wondering WHY this stuff is happening. But capitalism is NOT a humanist or humanitarian type of system, so those rules don't apply. You have to look at it from the POV of the rules of the system. When you do that, it all makes perfect sense.

I agree 100%.

important for people to understand while we follow the situation.

TY, no more banksters, K & R

The developments are stormy. I'm having trouble keeping score of what's happening now in Greece. A new one posted in the economy section: Greek officials prepare public for Grexit!
