"David
can beat Goliath, but it's not easy," Podemos' (Spanish anti- establishment party) leader Pablo Iglesias told
a political rally on Sunday. So the picture is well drawn up. In the
minds of the Greek youth, and many anti- establishment people in Europe, an overbearing establishment (led by the
Frankfurt am Main's and Berlin's, sophisticated Goliaths) is seeking to
throttle their rustic living. It may
well be that under threat, David may blink and back off like
trapped animals, at least for the present but there are scars in the souls
which need to heal.
World over, the combination
of unemployed youth, the credit laden, insecure but aspiring middle class are coalescing for an
ant-establishment thrust. Podemos, in Spain, Syriza in Greece the
Greens in Australia and the AAP or Common Man's Party in India are all
depicting this mass despair at and
dislike for establishment practices.
It
is not the demand for war reparations by the Greeks or the repeated, monotonic austerity emphasis of the Germans that would
solve matters but the US and Canadian suggestion of a loan work out. Austria
knows Europe will be affected by a Grexit and therefore calls for negotiations
and there is the wisdom of the ages in that entreaty.
But
wisdom is a latecomer; and this battle in Athens and Sparta are at
the cost of the market.
The G 20 in their Kafkasque
manner met and held their routine and decided to meet another day!!!
