#ThisIsNotAcoup makes a pretty convincing case that the ECB's supremacy over nat'l EU govts is antithetical to European democracy #tdf19
Frankly, after 7+ yrs of relentless austerity & the direct+indirect undermining of democracy in Greece, I find it hard to argue the point.
The narrative Aris paints of the Greek pre & post-referendum events reads accurate & I followed the whole thing. Still traumatic to process.
As a disclaimer, Aris is a friend, but I openly share my criticism whenever I disagree w his views. On this one, it's hard to put up a fight
As w all of his docs, the Greek crisis may be the linchpin, but it's not the whole. The historical background/explainers are always valuable
In "Coup," in particular, we get a running summary of ECB-led interventions in Italy, Ireland & Cyprus, and even a fmr EC VP chiming in.
.@xstefanou openly admits & cautions that his work doesn't pander to "objectivity." All of his docs are crowdfunded (and worth watching.)
The underlying point is of a need for leftist -exits from the EZ (at least); and critique of the left for ceding the field to the far-right.
"Greece is the only EU country where the 'no' critique mostly comes from the left." (Aris asserts that Syriza had caved long before the ref)
PS: Behind every spike of bailausterity bullying hangs the implicit threat of ELA cutoff & a Cyprus-style bail-in (looting of deposits)
