While it is amply clear that Greek survival is now obviously dependent on an independent mode of existence, the path to such'Grexism' is through a very hard and painful transition.
Such transition is up the sleeves of not any politician or economist but a very precious commodity called leadership displayed by the likes of Washington, Lincoln or MK Gandhi.
Greece is unfortunate here- Tsipras is the usual middle aged Romantic political hero who can lord it out in a Corporate board battle or a parliamentary fracas- but the dirt and grime of battle will make him wheeze and sneeze. Washington and MK Gandhi were totally different stuff that legendary leadership is made up of. Greece does not possess any leadership that can deliver the necessary Grexit-No party has that commodity that can deliver what the nation requires immediately and urgently.
So we move from one drama to another-like a sordid tragedy getting murkier and having greater costs on human life untill violence on the street takes over in Athens. When that inevitably happens it will in itself be a complete failure of Statesmanship in Europe. What else could you possibly expect from a de facto Politburo?
