Because it isn't I'm afraid, and as such please cease to do so.Regards,LimetlessI am currently re reading "Das Kapital" and while Marx may have been quite the idealist it seems he doesn't give much thought as to how to transform Communism into a workable system.As much as I admire what Communism and (by dint of this Socialism) attempts to achieve,in its very nature it quashes the spirit of self determination and entrepreneurship that is the very solution to this crisis.Sad to say if they continue down this route I think they'll be forced to withdraw from the Euro- this of course will trigger a run on the banks as Greeks are desperate to withdraw their Euros before their automatically converted to near worthless drachmas and will cause businesses to lose faith in financial institutions overall once again spiralling the country further into debt.To all our Greek friends : this was why your government introduced austerity measures like cutting your minimum wage and laying off jobs. Not because they wanted to enforce ruthless capitalist greed but because it was the only way to stop your country becoming a Hooverville slum - let's hope the European bank is willing to throw good money after bad is all I can say.V.
