#1 Is Sanders sure of that = at last check, its been the Commie banners + pennants, etc, that have been flown about by anti-austerity protesters.

#2 "In the last five years, as a result of austerity measures, the Greek economy has contracted by 25 percent."

In other words, it is returned to the actual value of its productivity.

Why is that a bad thing?

And if they wanted more material stuff than the worth of their labor and were trying to finance it against a future time of more productivity, could they please give an exact date for that future productivity and factual evidence of how it will come about?

#3 So if they're not allowed to live off the labor of others, involuntarily confiscated (slavery), they'll become socialists.

Same thing either way, innit?

#4 Covet thy neighbors wealth, bear false witness, steal. Key tenets of socialism to which Sanders is an acolyte. To take something without intention of returning without the consent of the owner is still stealing regardless of the spiel of politicians.

Now you witness how socialists and plantation owners rationalize their behaviors of taking the product of labor, skill, ability of others for themselves without proper compensation.

#5 Wonder if the Turks can carry a two front war?

#6 They should have their own currency and print away.

But don't expect to be able to purchase anything to import

#7 Sigh. Still the same old meme that Nazis aren't socialists.

The only real difference between Socialists, Communists and Fascists are the hair splitting details about the verbiage and methods of total control over the economy and society.

#9 They're not eating bugs yet, are they?

I can see this becoming a catch-phrase as we undergo The Great Unraveling.

#10 I mean, if all they have to do is give up their iPhones I'm not gonna have that much sympathy for them.

#11 One thing I've never heard about the Nazi's was that they were lazy. Greek Nazi's would not be so intimidating.

#12 #11 Nice, or rather magnificently nasty.

#13 AlanC, the main difference is national character. The Nazi's were Germans and thus well motivated in everything they did. Even the German brand of Communism was nearly successful compared to the other communist states. Lay facism ontop of Italia and you can't tell it from Socialism or Communism without studying the numbers and determining the relationships with other nations.

#14 I'm sure the Greeks will do Alexander proud, thanks to Greece's world-beating tank, fighter, bomber and aircraft carrier industries.
