Radical Left, Nationalists, neo-Nazis and other clowns


Nowadays in Greece of the absurd, we see that the political landscape has changed dramatically. Certainly not without a reason but to change one lie with another is not a wise practice in the challenging days we live.
The major parties in Greece in the past 4 decades were able to easily steal the vote of Greek citizens with promises of benefits that eventually were enjoyed by some, the majority took a pittance and the political parties another four years to implement their "Plan" which was so complex that in order to see the fruits of it they needed another four years in parliament. I will never forget the political debates in TV Q: "Where will you find the money for the benefits that you propose?" from the "serious" political opposition and A: "We will combat tax evasion of course and we will reduce the operating costs of the state." The years passed, tax evasion was never combated, the running costs were never cut down in fact the opposite they increased and the Greek people - who are not without responsibility - ignored what was happening and that the state had ceased to function and all that for a place in the sun -in this case a working place as a civil servant or being left alone to tax evade- in exchange for their votes.
These children grew up to be businessmen, doctors, lawyers who nostalgically remember the fairytales they heard from the political parties when they were young, and the false prosperity of those years based on loans. Who in Greece has not heard the phrase "when Papandreou came to office in the 80’s the people started to prosper" or "Papandreou had authority ... and foreigners didn’t dare to question him," or another classic one "a dictatorship will save us, the dictatorship issued loans and there was law and order" .

QUESTION: How can you now deprive these people of the myths and fairy tales of their youth?

ANSWER: You can’t.

Nowadays the tricks of the old political parties turned back to haunt them. The people don’t want to be stripped of their tales. Although the circumstances demand it. Yet again they turn to those who will whisper sweet words like music to their ears.

What is your problem? Are you a public servant with grammar school education and they cut your salary down? You came to the right place. We offer 1300 euros minimum wage and pensions at 58.
Are you a businessman and you feel bad because the Germans call you lazy and that you do not pay your taxes? Vote for us and we ‘ll grab Mrs. Merkel and tell her to leave you alone "
Are you a resident of the city center and you are afraid to go out after 18:00 because of the illegal immigrants? Vote for as (neo-Nazi’s) and we will form a militia armed with M16’s  and "repatriate" them all for good.

Today's children can see on TV the same stuff as our generation did, but the roles are different now. Now we see the old parties in the role of a serious and responsible political party, asking yet again 'Where will you find the money for the benefits that you propose? " to get the answer from the radical parties " We will make oil, will renegotiate the Memorandum, will exit the Euro zone, we will do everything.... We will do everything than cutting down your paycheck and force you to pay taxes"
A new generation is formed on the same philosophy as our generation did. What should a child think when it sees his dad whining  that the big bad government forces him to pay his taxes or to go to work for less money than he thinks he should get.
