left wing mood crossing all of the borders in the Eurozone. That's a given. To me the real question is what will be the ultimate makeup of that movement. Will it be in a Menshevik mode, collaborating and accommodating to capitalism? Or will it be strongly ANTI-capitalist like the Bolsheviks?

The problem with these types of coalitions is that they water down their demands once they begin to get some traction with the public. Which I always thought was highly ironic, in that they gain popularity by taking a hard left line, then when they get noticed and get popular they moderate the hard left line. The thing about cross-class "popular fronts" like Syriza and Podemos is that they inevitably get dragged down into the capitalists' financial games. When that happens they lose because the capitalists know how to play those games better than anybody. Ergo, these popular fronts lose the support of the people who see them (rightly) as sellouts. When nothing good happens for the people from a "hard left" government, then the next election the populace votes for the further RIGHT wing party. In Greece that would be Golden Dawn.

Trying to sum it up, what I'm trying to say is that the question of the seizure of state power is going to be raised in the next few years in Greece. It will be raised by the circumstances of accommodation WITH the capitalist bankers NOT working for the people. The left needs to be prepared for this question because most assuredly Golden Dawn WILL be prepared.
