Related: About this forumThe new European Feudalism is here!
The whole sequence of events during the last months, concerning the negotiations between Greece and its creditors, shows that democracy in the European continent has died and replaced by a new type of Feudalism. What we knew until now was that the main political powers in Europe over the last decades, which are the Right-wing populist parties and the Social-democrats, were completely under control by the financial oligarchy and the corporate lobbyists.The SYRIZA Leftists in Greece in essence thought that they could take back most of the power that it was delivered to unelected institutions. They discovered, in short time, that the political power in Europe has been eliminated already and that the Euro-parliament has become only a decorating element inside a powerful network of political puppets and technocrats.
So, there you have it: parliamentary processes have been abolished and all the public property of the eurozone colonies is about to fall in the oligarchs' hands. How do you call that?
