A Sea Change in Greece? - NYTimes.com | real utopias | Scoop.it

And there’s the rub. Current polls, reflecting popular frustration with the government’s austerity measures, show Syriza, the main opposition party, ahead by 3.6 points over New Democracy. But Mr. Samaras, a 63-year-old veteran politician and Harvard M.B.A., is still rated best choice for prime minister over the Syriza leader, Alexis Tsipras, a 40-year-old civil engineer and admirer of Che, Mao and Hugo Chávez.

Why the Democrats Lost Big - CounterPunch

Why the Democrats Lost Big - CounterPunch | real utopias | Scoop.it

The Democrats and Republicans spent an unprecedented mid-term, if not all-time, election total of $4 billion, roughly $2 billion each. The giant corporations that footed the bills for their chosen candidates undoubtedly will get trillions of dollars in return, as is always the case in capitalist elections. The working class, which creates all wealth, will continue to pay regardless of who officially runs the country.

Joschka Fischer asks why so many Europeans are turning to an ideology that has meant only war and destruction. - Project Syndicate | real utopias | Scoop.it

BERLIN – Europe is made up of its nations, and has been for hundreds of years. That is what makes the continent’s unification such a difficult political task, even today. But nationalism is not Europe’s principle of construction; on the contrary, it has been, and remains, Europe’s principle of deconstruction. That is the main lesson to be drawn from the dramatic gains made by anti-European populist parties in last weekend’s European Parliament election.

The meaning of the European elections - In Defense of Marxism

The meaning of the European elections - In Defense of Marxism | real utopias | Scoop.it

The recent European Parliament elections have caused shock waves in the continent’s political landscape. Big victories were scored by anti-establishment parties in countries such as France, Greece and the UK provoking alarm in the mainstream political parties. The argument that these elections represent a sharp swing to the right – and even fascism – is entirely false.

Electorate trapped in undemocratic EU elections | Cyprus Mail

Electorate trapped in undemocratic EU elections | Cyprus Mail | real utopias | Scoop.it

It may be so, but there is a minor problem: a vast number of the electorate no longer trusts politicians or the European Union, but especially the Eurogroup that now governs Cyprus under the terms of the troika’s agreement signed by the Anastasiades government
