Rafael Correa vs Lucas Papademos

[Insula Dei]

For perhaps a rather different (if rather shrill and at-times silly) perspective on Greece's new oh-so-wise "technocratic" government - read here: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/11/mark-ames-austerity-fascism-in-greece-%E2%80%93-the-real-1-doctrine.html

Or maybe a less obviously biased source might be better - such as, oh I don't know, The Anti-defamation league would be preferible.

(This is probably the wrong thread to post this, but I can't think of anywhere else atm. This should be given some attention at least).

Haha, what?! They let LAOS into government? Oh, the hilarity. I mean the humanity. No laughing matter, of course.

The first article is a bit out there in terms of conspiracy thinking, but I did like the axe thing. It certainly added the extra touch. And now I understand that facebook status from a Greek friend about the fascists taking over...I didn't before.

In fairness though, you can't really rave too much about lack of democracy here. LAOS is a major party in Greece for some unfathomable reason.
 
To answer the poll, neither is my type of leader. I voted for Papademos somewhat reflexively but then regretted it. Papademos might be worse for his country and might also well have less benevolent intentions.

Is this about Makis 'the Hammer' Voridis*? Best detail of the way the Masters of the Earth are cracking down on Greece! (Obviously, the Masters have to work with the material they have, we should not be surprised if some of Wilders' scum is only a couple of years away from being minister in a 'democratic' government.)


*Reminds me of the unforgettable Frank van Hecke quote about his old friend 'Sadly, Makis had to build a career outside of politics.'
