The Greeks have to be very careful not to become racist, they are overacting their patriotism..Some of the opinions depicted here are very sad. Start accepting responsibilities and stop blaiming everybody else and feeling poor for yourselves. It is becoming embaressing.
Yeah, I’d agree to some extent, but I don’t feel that the workers of Greece can be help culpable for the state of their economy.
The conditions that the Greeks are experiencing at the moment can increase nationalistic sentiments against their perceived oppressors, but it’s not so much Germans as it is the mechanics of capitalism itself.
The austerity measures to which they are being subjected to are terrible. If anything, there needs to be a social revolution in Europe, starting with Greece.
‘None of them should step their foot here’ is Mr. Domoney’s interpretation of reality in the context of this anti-German propaganda
at 01:52 the old man with the hat says «κι απ’ αυτά τα Lidl μην πατάει κανένας»
‘and no one must step foot in such stores as Lidl’
so then he comments on the prices of Lidl and other supermarkets
—someone should tell Mr. Domoney to start filming with a critical point of view
and I sure hope that my comment is not cut again.
Thank you for your comments. I live in this country, I love this country, I understand peoples frustration, but I just dont like it when frustration becomes translated into hatred, because that is when things become out of control.
It is the strategy to divide ordinary people by nationalism. The same here in germany, where we can read everyday that the greecs are lazy foolish people, who just wanna have ‘our’ money.
One interesting thought in the movie: it is a difference if you are already poor and your children will have the same fate or if your children will be much poorer than yourself. This produces the hate and agression and the circumstances might start to dance. The elites have to avoid this, they must keep it under control, so the try to focus the hate and the anger on minorities and different nations. There is a relation between crisis and fascism. Maybe it is not that bad if things become out of control, wanna dance?
A kind of authoritarian capitalism, neofascism is coming anyway. Maybe not in Greece but in Germany. Hopefully there is a social revolution in Greece so i can emigrate to Greece.
‘There is a relation between crisis and fascism.’
Yep, agreed. Radicals in Greece need to do everything in their ability to ensure fascism doesn’t gain momentum, including agitating within organized labor, which would bolster the fascist ideologues if they were to become influential.

On a side note, I’ve been informed that the KKE has been collaborating with ****s? That’s opportunists for you, Leninism can’t be trusted to liberate the proletariat out of a paper bag.
