This is not a Crisis

Most in the mainstream press assume that whatever the economic technocrats decide for Greece must be necessary.  They also assume the corollary that the Greek people should see reason and accept whatever the Troika and their Greek mouthpieces hand down.  Austerity is inevitable.  Resistance is futile.  In that climate it is nice to see John Holloway’s piece in the Guardian today say what people in the streets have been saying from the start.  The problem is not the Greek people or their political mobilization.  The problem is the rule of money and profit.
