Noting subsequent comments by Tsipras warning of the threat to democratic rule, this month Business Insider also cited a note from Mujtaba Rahman and Federico Santi at the Eurasia Group consultancy, who said the talks between Athens and the creditors were being carried out “in the hope of bringing about regime change.”
With the European Commission talking of an imminent “state of emergency” in Greece and the need to plan for social unrest, the Daily Telegraph said Tsipras hinted “that their real goal is to destroy the credibility of his radical-Left Syriza government and force regime change.”

It took all this for these Einsteins to realize that "democracy" means shit to these forces? "Democracy", to the bourgeoisie, means democracy within the ruling class and lip-service to everyone else. The Troika doesn't give a damn what kind of government Greece or any of the PIIGS have - as long as that government toes-the-line. Why do all these "radical" indignato "leftists" always seem so socked that the bosses do not give one bleeding shit about "the people"? "The people" work for the bosses or "the people" can drop dead. Why is this so hard for these suck-ups to grasp? I think Tsipras and all these faux radical leftists actually believe what they espouse; which makes it even more disgusting. "Leaders" who live in the fog of an imaginary world.
