Syriza's victory in the recent Greek general election shook the
foundations of the Western political establishment and gave hope to
the millions suffering the austerity measures imposed by the
European Troika. Millions asked, how did this happen and what is it
about Greece that created such a centre of radicalism? This
insider's account, from Syriza's Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos
and economist Christos Laskos, shows that that the narrative of
Greek exceptionalism is a myth. The blame game that has been played
by the EU powers is an ideological tool used to shift attention
from the disillusionment and anger at the European and global
capitalist economic order. By alienating an entire nation of
people, the Troika has revealed the internal contradictions of the
modern neoliberal establishment, as well as the inadequacies of the
earlier social-democratic Keynesian regime. Tsakalotos and Laskos
suggest that there is very little that differentiates Greece from
other countries struggling under austerity, and that parties such
as Syriza could usher in a new, democratic and socialist era across
the continent.
