Tsipras and Syriza lost the first battle to the global plutocracy. Then, instead of fighting for every inch, they capitulated eagerly.

Then most Greeks did the foolish thing that a defeated people often do: they decided to support a different set of right-wing plutocratists instead. This was pitiful and stupid. Despair can drive a people to do self-mutilation, just as it can drive an individual to it, but don't help your enemies subjugate your people.
