INTERNATIONAL POLITICS-GREECE: GREECE-FROM CRISIS IN THE STREETS TO CRISIS IN THE BANKS:

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Little has been heard about street protests in Greece the past few days. That's because there actually has been little happening. The Greek rebellion, like last year, is quick to rise and just as quick to subside. At least this time the youths protesting and occupying buildings called it off before the holidays. The protests in Greece partake of an admirable spontaneity, but they also suffer from a truly stupendous lack of focus, and, consequently, an inability to go beyond repetition of tried and true tactics. If you don't know where you want to go you will certainly never form a plan to get there.
