Greece: 'Troika stop! Give them back their democracy!'

'Troika stop! Give them back their democracy!'.

It is up to the people of Greece, father of democracy but today matyr of austerity, to decide, in sovereignty, upon their future.

We, citizens of Europe, demand that the international financial institutions, the ratings agencies and the European authorities immediately cease their shameful pressuring. It is not up to the current European institutions and finance to dictate to the people for whom they should vote! Austerity is a political choice that they should be able to reject democratically!

We are in chorus with SYRIZA in saying that Greece’s problem is the same as that of all of Europe and that what is playing out here could signal the beginning of a new European adventure.

We, citizens of Europe say to the Greek people: do not fear, you can count on us, we are at your side. Our Europe is not theirs; it is yours.

Emphasis Mine

Democracy is only acceptable to Capitalists when their interests are preserved. Otherwise, coups are organised as happened in Iran in 1953, in Guatemala in 1954, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1965, in Greece in 1967, etc..

Even though SYRIXA wins the election, there is still the danger of a military coup and subsequent brutal repression. Capital must have its way in a Capitalist society, no matter what the means are.
