They weren’t neoliberals when they got elected. They got elected on a campaign of radical change. To say that the Greek people are just stupid fools who keep voting for neoliberalism and wondering why nothing ever changes is fucking wrong

Neoliberalism didn't work. So they tried neoliberalism. That didn't work so now they're trying neoliberalism.

This comment is pretty plainly saying that the Greek people are idiots who think trying neoliberalism over and over again is the way out of the crisis. It’s simply not true, the Greek people voted for Syriza because they wanted radical change, nobody knew just how compromised Tsipras was until the EU referendum.

I hope this is a lesson for everyone here that demsocs are useless. The same goes for Greece's 3 ML parties. Party politics is about re-configuring the status quo slightly so different people are in power. It doesn't actually change the status quo.

The vast majority of Greek people did not vote for Syriza.
