From this article on Syriza's surrender:
"Syriza’s failure to deliver on any of its campaign promises or to
reverse the logic of austerity lifts the veil of illusion regarding
institutional top-down solutions and leaves the grassroots movements
exactly where they started from: being the main antagonistic force to
the neoliberal assault on society; the only force capable of envisioning
a different world that goes beyond the failed institutions of the
predatory capitalist market and representative democracy."
"Now is the moment for a broad alliance of social forces to bring forward
a ‘Plan C’, based on social collaboration, decentralized
self-government and the stewardship of common
goods. Without overlooking its significance, national electoral
politics is not the privileged field of action when it comes to social
transformation. The withering away of democracy in Europe should be
complemented and challenged by the fortification of self-organized
communities at a local level and the forging of strong bonds between
them, along with a turn to a solidarity- and needs-based economy, and
the collective management and defense of common goods.”
