A heritage of pyromania
There is much else to consider in Politics?' "A New Hellenic Philosophy: Rise Up!" but one passage concerning Greek public service unions struck me in particular. Yet more evidence we must first dismantle our state bureaucracies if we are too recover our civilization and see to the watchtowers.
Call it a Crusade if you will.
The outrageous, uncivil and violent behaviour of protesters who have made the streets of the capital a very dangerous place, and who have engaged in a nation wide intifada against their struggling government forced to face the music of their incautiously dangerous economic fiddling, is incomprehensible. Throwing rocks and incendiary Molotov cocktails, demolishing property and destroying lives.
Thugs associated with unions and deeply dysfunctional ideological movements clashing with first-responders so that firefighters are unable to rescue people trapped in burning buildings represents a civil atrocity of atrocious incivility. All are implicated; teachers, hospital workers, trash collectors, pensioners, construction workers and any number of other public employees.

Let the mandarins riot. Then let them starve. They have lost the mandate of heaven (via Blazing Cat Fur with more random furballs).
