The capitalist crisis in Greece

The Guardian today had an article on the Greek crisis dealing with the general European, Euro and German crisis too.

It was followed by dozens of comments. I added mine:

Our media are liars. Our economists are more idiotic than the astronomers and priests who thought the earth was the centre of the universe. And they cheer on our rulers as if the sun shone out of their arses.
If any of this (or only a tiny fraction of it) had happened in the Soviet Bloc in the days of the Cold War, it would have been headlined as a catastrophic collapse and irrefutable evidence of an insane and absurd economy.
But it didn't happen. And the headlines screamed at us regardless.
Now we have a catastrophic collapse in the heartlands of capitalism, providing irrefutable evidence of an insane and absurd economy. And the media tell us it's all a readjustment. And the economists mumble into their beards. And our rulers work  half of us to our deaths, and leave the other half to rot.
But in this capitalist world is There Is No Alternative. Just as there was no alternative to the Pope ("burn em alive!") or the maggoty sorry mighty Catholic Church or the Kings and Emperors by the grease of god.
That's enough irony and sarcasm. There is an alternative - workers states running a non-capitalist economy. This will replace the outworn, worm-eaten capitalist system and sweep the capitalists and their lickspittle politicians, astrologers and ideologues into the cesspool of history along with the Popes and the Emperors.
The capitalist class has no time - it faces its historical exit - and so its policies are more and more destructive and desperate. The people who produce the things the capitalists own and sell can't be got rid of until our world is destroyed. But our struggle is urgent - if socialism doesn't replace capitalism in the near future, then capitalism will destroy our world.
