Greece and its downfall

The pitiful thing about Greece is that the correct solution for their current type of situation was well known in academic circles since 1935, but is still not being applied.

 

The reasons for this can only be:

 

1.  Unbelief on the part of legislators / government leaders.

 

2.  A desire to avoid the Keynsian system in order to promote fascism at the expense of socialism, and therefore to promote the interests of a certain "special elite."  This "special elite" would be the CEO-class of the Great Corporations, who feed off of the highly lucrative government contracts that their corporations are awarded by the government under a fascist system.

 

These are the only two reasons I can think of, both pitiful.

 

The economic aspect of fascism is perfected when the government sees no need to make the Great Corporations go through a tiresome competitive bidding process to obtain the contract, in other words, they are "pre-selected."  The "pre-selection" takes place via massive lobbying expenses and campaign contributions undertaken by the Great Corporations, and also by having "moles" on the inside.  The "moles" situation is also described as "The Revolving Door," wherein you have high government officials (particularly Fed and Treasury) who also, during part of their career, work for big banks or investment banks.  The best way to justify a non-competitive bidding process to an unsuspecting public is to be in a state of "national emergency."  If the fascist leaders are really evil, they will go out of their way to actually create the "national emergency."  ("You get the photos, I'll make the war."  W R Hearst, 1898.)  Perfecting fascism also requires that the labor rates of workers be driven down to a very low level, and that all their perks and protections be eliminated, because these reduce the profits of the owner-class.  In recent times, this has been accomplished by shipping the jobs to China, by promoting the "virtues" of "free trade" to the unsuspecting public.  Ideally, the labor rates would actually be zero, as Hitler was able to accomplish by just importing slave laborers from conquered countries, and working them to death. 

 

Justifying "free trade" is also helped by constant use of the word "globalization," to the point that is now has near-religious significance.  Actually "globalization" has good and bad aspects, but the bad side is downplayed or silenced.
