6 On the Greek experiences
6. What about a demand for an International Criminal Court for fi-
nance criminals, a tribunal to prosecute international economic
crimes against the peoples?
7. Such a policy would not mainly target on, as you Yanis, have pro-
claimed rather large in Jan. 2015 ”to destroy the Greek oligarchy sys-
tem” 14 . It would not challenge “the rich” and is no proletarian revolu-
tion to overthrow capitalism. It would simply be the just procedure
for the Greek people to get rid of the debt crisis in a non-
austeritarian way. Led by their government they would even help in-
ternational financial creditor circles to get back their capital in a way
they never had thought of.
8. This policy would break the most pivotal systemic rules of the ex-
isting economic world. It neglects the “WE” lie of the nation-ideology
and abandons the absolute power of disposal entitled by private
property. For sure the Greek government would have to face the tes-
tiest and hostile opposition of the internationally influential Greek
oligarchy and we would be naïve to neglect the danger of another
military coup d’état. Therefore the Greek government has to be pre-
pared well enough in advance to threats of this type by a radical
democratic reform of the armed forces and the police to make sure
that they would stay to their folks in any precarious situation.
