This is what happens when you leave it up to reformism and socdemmery. Parliamentary democracy simply doesn not afford the necessary power to a social democratic party to implement change, so all the promises they make go down the toilet, and eventually the disgruntled population head back for the "safe" choices talking "common sense" and not rocking the boat

Splinters are to blame.

Name a Socdem party that got into power on a radical ticket and didn't ultimately end up selling out most of their core policies and pandering to centrism?

...

what would happen if golden dawn won?

Nah, nah they didn't sell out any core policies at all..

yeah back when socdem was affiliated with marxism, and not liberalism.

also ended up market socialist and then turbo oligarchy.. so… I'm not sure what point you are trying to make with this

Should have Grexitted when they had the chance.

should have pulled an iceland

Tsipras deserves to be lined up against a wall and shot for what he did to the Greek people.

Won't happen since they are stagnating and didn't manage to rebrand themselves like FN did. Greece would look like Hungary though

greece's government is de facto the troika. everything gets dictated by the troika and if syriza doesn't obey them the troika fucks greece over completely. yes they have the power to do that, greece's future would be uncertain and the living standad would dramatically decrease. syriza knows this very well.
moreover, the troika is extra hard to greece under syriza in order to state an example and discredit leftist politics. it worked, you obviously fell for it as is the greek population currently.
if the corrupt right wing assholes who put greece into this mess might get into power again i can assure you that the troika will be a lot less unforgiving and moderate in their demands in order to keep the neoliberal right wingers in power there.

Golden Dawn if the only true socialist party in Greece

All of this happened anyway, only in such a way that bankers profited mightily.

Not even a half decent troll tbh

Socialism is when you help common people in need
After all solidarism is a part of socialism

could have pulled an iceland although you are mostly right

tbh you can tell the shit tier, cult like, medieval nature of any group that calls them "Golden Dawn" right off the bat. Is this a video game or is this real life?

I think thats a pretty cool name
Better than acronyms of long party names that always sound the same

Damn, I've been so wrong about comrade Bill Gates this whole time

The word social democrat was widely used by actual socialists before WW1.

Considering there was a demon worshiping cult in Oblivion called mythic dawn it's not too far off.

All posturing, no substance

...

What was the point of being elected if you will be unable to do nothing?
I feel really disappointed with Syriza tbh, like what are they even doing there. Their political impotency just make it look to the rest of the world that a more or less "far" left-wing party can literally change nothing. Could've as well sat in their armchairs instead of participating in elections.
Or am I wrong? Have they actually done anything positive yet?

It symoblizes better tomorrow
And the flag symbolizes Greek culture and history
You just dont see the symbolism

The party is almost 40 years old now

I must've gotten a fetish from that scene since I was 12 when I beat the game.

right.. and isn't every single political party ostensibly for a better tomorrow?

Which party is going around saying they want a worse tomorrow?

Obviously I can see the symbolism, like I said its video game tier

this user gets it

Should have canceled their debt payments to Germany against what Germany owes them because of WWII and rolled out their own currency.

I dont think that this is that simple

Melanchon wants to abolish Greek debts. If they can get a leftist ally in the EU then maybe they can get out of the mess they're in.

no, syriza couldn't. it would have lead to a catastrophe for greece and other european countries as well. iceland doesn't use the euro, it is geopolitically unimportant in comparison to greece and why iceland got away with what their banks pulled is still a mystery to me. iceland was actually bancrupt in 2008.


there was no point for syriza, sadly. syriza in government is still not powerful enough in geopolitical context. the election victory was great and as a fellow comrade i was very happy about it (i'm german, by the way) but poisoned from the very start, because of the critical condition greece was in at that very moment, which syriza was not responsible for at all.
they do a lot to mitigate austerity effects and to keep the current living standard for the greek people, but they can do only so much. and no, greece leaving the euro and the eu would neither benefit the greek people nor other europeans in the long run.

i think a haircut would be best indeed, however jlm would have to deal with the same powers syriza has to deal with and face opposition of all neoliberal governed countries in europe and the world plus face players such as the imf, ecb etc. that's not going to be an easy task, to say the least. i wish that jlm wins the election, but even the president of france has only limited powers in a world that is essentially ruled by international capitalists and oligarchs.

The NSDAP ;^)

The dogmatist KKE refused to enter in a coalition with Syriza.

They are to blame for this bullshit.

They've been hurt before.
and also believe people will stop being gay after communism

Because Syriza did shit all. They knew that Syriza's attempt at penatrating the EU's establishment and entrenched neoliberal politics would yield nothing. Guess what? They were fucking right.

Fucking wops

Oh, you social democrats are the darndest cunts.

Except it's more likely that the KKE is just fucking incompetent. Years of crisis and they can only poll at max 7%. Absolute trash.

you are apparently clueless about the subject, you deliberately cite me wrong on things i never implied let alone wrote and you insult me because my flag triggers you because you know nothing about it either. go back watching anime, you immature fool.
