Nikos Dimous: Whatever happens Greece losesNikos Dimous: Whatever happens Greece loses

Yes – as here they were.

Visions of Alexis, the contortions of Varoufakis. Tales of Flabourari. The degradation of Soviet Baltics. Fetish Lafazani.

Thus far it was the “first time left.”

By choosing the – as an act divisive – Referendum separates Greece from Europe. Bisects.

After the Referendum we will find ourselves in a different Greece. Regardless of the result.

If Syriza wins ximerothoume suddenly we are in a poor country. Marginal, the third – or rather the fourth – world.

The government claims – so as not to scare people – that we will remain in the euro. It might want it so, but will  the euro want us? Without debt financing – without ELA and ESF – we cannot stand. I do not know even if I manage to print drachmas.

If  SYRIZA loses it will not be able to survive. A Government of national unity does not arise – so there will be elections.

With what money? Who will pay pensions and salaries in the meantime? Banks are there? And what government can emerge from the current political scene?

Alexis Tsipras has shot himself in the foot. The heroic movements are spectacular. But behind them usually follow tragedies.

Alexis in Leonidas role. Molon lave and glorious debacle.

What inspired this referendum! Lose-lose. Whoever wins – we will all be losers.

We are entering uncharted waters. Only one thing is certain. Everything changes.

He was here.
