Why does everyone discussing Greece have literally no idea what the situation is what so ever. The current leftist coalition in power, Syriza, got put into power due to the crisis caused by people not paying taxes, the need for a strong left for the people (Yes, democracy exists In Greece and the people are making decisions, surprise surprise.) The main problem with Greece is the rampant tax evasion, and the corrupt history of finances that weren't even touched by the current government. Austerity NEVER works and is a disaster, so good for Greece. Oh, and I think it's hilarious how right wing idiots literally have no idea what socialism is, democratic ownership of production, that is socialism, and I think it's funny how you fucking nuts are cherrypicking Greece's crisis to somehow Blame socialism when you fail to understand the crisis and the vast majority of countries that have generous Social programs and do amazingly well. I didn't see you right wing nutters calling the 2008 crisis a failure of capitalism, so grow up.
