Socialist Progressives

Since Syriza and Podemos are both parties with either a working class base OR substantial working class support they should be critically supported against enemies of the working class in general. HOWEVER, the key word is "critically". Neither will be able to make lasting changes in their countries because both seek to come to an accommodation with capitalism. Even "save" capitalism as it's "erratic Marxist" finance minister says.

Capitalism, and ESPECIALLY capitalism in crisis, is a system that does NOT play well with others, even benign social democratic systems. Because Syriza and Podemos are seeking to save capitalism and give it a more humanistic face those movements are bound to fail. That will never happen because capitalism itself won't ALLOW it to happen. UNLESS it comes down to the point where that human face is the only thing that will save the system itself. IOW, unless capitalism is facing an existential crisis. Even then they will try fascism as a first resort to try and save the system. Once fascism is defeated, THEN they will finally try humanism.

So let Syriza and Podemos go for it and I'll support their right to try. But only because workers need to see with their own eyes that the ONLY way to improve their status is socialist revolution.
