Peter's Viewpoint

The left wing parties of Greece are a bunch of carpet baggers.

What is a carpet bagger? A person that is an extreme opportunist exploiting people based on their needs and usually with unethical methods to gain from them financially.

The left wing parties of Greece are paradoxes that deceive the lower class into the pretense of one for all and all for one ideology.

Remnants of communism still roam the globe in every corner of the world, including the USA.  The ideas of equality are used as bait to entice people (even more today) into believing that a better life and therefore lifestyle awaits them, and all that they have to do is vote.

What the communist parties do not say is how they will perform their economic miracles to change all of society into what modern communistic societies are and offers.

Communism in Greece is portrayed by the poor lower class striving to survive and by members of the same parties enjoying a comfortable lifestyle of obscured incomes and luxuries.  Some claim that they do not have more than 100 euros in the bank but if one searches enough they will find that those members are supported by companies that favor the communist parties by using them to influence or gain political advantages.

Just as China is now a “capitalist” country with communist leadership, others are marketing to advance the increase of the populist vote.  In the balance of political life, you cannot have just the right, and the middle, without the left otherwise the scale wouldn’t be equal.

In the end, they still play the same game, “you scratch my back, and I will scratch yours…” as is said.

The KKE or communist party is a left wing party is led by Mrs. Aleka Papariga, President.

Syriza, also known as Synaspismos (Coalition of the Radical Left) another left wing party is led by Mr. Alexis Tsipras, President.

When the voting polls call, is the response is truly democratic during Greek elections?

During most of the year, people watching Greek news broadcasts will see and hear that there are currently five major political parties.  The truth is though that at the election polls, an unbelievable number of smaller parties (I’ve seen up to 40) will be presented to the voter.

In any case, whether forty or five, democracy is no longer a valid term.
