About time the people of Greece expressed their rage against the Greatest theft of all time by the EU Banks and German industry. I can only hope the centrist and right wing Greeks also realize they have been robbed and join the leftists in a great protest.

The money "lent" to the Greeks has already gone to the German industrial profits. the Greeks do not owe anybody anything.

Check out the "Austerity" thread for more comments.

It's amazing that the Greeks haven't overthrown their government yet. I hope like hell that they don't break out into a full on civil war. But it's pretty clear that something has gotta give.
Only another leftist could equate war with what should have been a "peaceful" protest. Further demonstrating that leftists are incapable of protesting without violence.

Frankly, demonstrating without violence does not interest anyone anymore. Such protests are ignored by those targeted.
Same goes for permitted protests. They are like alibi feel-good events without any effects. Any demonstrations of serious extent and effect are not permitted in the first place.

I find it odd when conservatives complain about leftists demonstrating violently when at the same time it is conservatives promoting guns and wars all the time...

You don't seem to want to go further back in time. Try Stalin and his mass graves or Pol Pot and his killing fields. No, the left never ever raises a pinky finger. LOL

....Or right wingers like Hitler, Franco, Peron, Fujimori, and Duvalier. They know all about peaceful protests too.

We can do this all day.

Communist China is doing extremely well, all because of right wing greed. The GOP and communists are the best of buds.
