GREEK VOTERS ELECT RADICAL SOCIALISTS INTO GOVERNMENT…….

The Greeks say kiss off to EU strings attached.

And all that taxpayer money illegally given to the Greek government by the EU elite in supposed loans designed with a Rube Goldberg scheme to pay it all back if the planets line up and no one hiccups? Well you can kiss all of that goodbye.

NOTE: In a normal functioning representative democracy, cranks and hacks like Finland’s Olli Rehn would be serving hard time in prison for bilking public funds.

The Greek elections over the weekend saw the emergence of a new force in Greek politics, the Syriza party. The Local’s correspondent Faye Karavasili analyzed the results, and looks at the views of some of the young Greek diaspora living in Vienna.

The weekend’s result in Athens was an historical win for Syriza, Greece’s anti-austerity, leftist party on Sunday night which means all bets are off. Alexis Tsipras, the leader of what has been described as representing the radical left in mid-crisis Greece has been hailed as the unquestionable winner of the weekend’s election, despite an ongoing question about whether or not full autonomy has been won. The current status gives the party 36.5 percent of the overall vote with 149 to 151 seats in the Greek Parliament.

The fear remains that, despite being the undisputed winner of this election, Syriza may fall short of the 150 seats that are needed for autonomy. It is estimated to be a thriller until Monday morning. If they fall short, then the only way they can govern is to form a coalition with one of the smaller parties.

Nevertheless, Syriza’s victory is very clear cut, and if Tsipras is able to build a workable coalition, it will make him at 40 one of the youngest Greek prime ministers of the past 50 years.

“The verdict of the Greek people ends, beyond any doubt, the vicious circle of austerity in our country,” Tsipras said. “The verdict of the Greek people, your verdict, annuls today in an indisputable fashion the bailout agreements of austerity and disaster. The verdict of the Greek people renders the troika a thing of the past for our common European framework” said Tsipras, addressing the crowd after his victory.

“..The verdict of the Greek people, your verdict, annuls today in an indisputable fashion the bailout agreements of austerity and disaster…”

i.e. we were just parasites in the EU before, living beyond our means. Now we are parasites who will refuse to repay the billions we borrowed from other European countries.

Socialists thinking ahead.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
