I think it’s safe to say that Greece isn’t really a nation that is in touch with reality. Once upon a time, Greeks were good with numbers. Nowadays, Greeks don’t really need to be good at math: They only need one hand to be able to count their life savings.
In reality, Greece is a country that is in tremendous trouble. Excessive spending coupled with no money is a recipe for disaster. You don’t need to be Pythagoras to figure that out.
Greece, in actual fact, is quite reminiscent of early 20th century Russia. People can’t afford to live, there is violence and uprising in the streets, and it’s clear that capitalism isn’t something that has panned out in Greece. So maybe it’s time to give that old philosophy of everyone sharing everything equally and the government controlling everything another shot. Yes that’s right: COMMUNISM
So what if it didn’t exactly work out in the past? There’s always a first for everything. In practice, Greece seems like a nation that could benefit from a modified version of communism. It’s simple: Everyone shares all of the wealth and there will be souvlaki for all!
And if it doesn’t work out, can it really get any worse?
