Lessons from Greece: The pseudo-left in power
From WSWS
The events in Greece since the coming to power of the Syriza-led government in late January are an immense strategic experience of the working class internationally.
The actions of the “Coalition of the Radical Left” rank among the greatest betrayals of the working class in recent decades. Brought to power on a wave of popular opposition to the dictates of the European Union, Syriza has now accepted what amounts to the transformation of Greece into a colony of German and European imperialism.
This betrayal is all the more brazen because it occurred within days of a massive popular repudiation of EU ultimatums, in a referendum called by the government itself as part of a cynical political manoeuvre.
