<h1>The Real Plan B:<br>The New Greek Marathon</h1>
</div>
</span><div><span class="">
<div>
<h3>Sam Gindin and Leo Panitch</h3>
</div>
</span><p>In the face of being excluded from desperately
needed funds and the threat of being kicked out of the European Union,
the Greek parliament has now voted to accept the <a href="http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2015/07/12-euro-summit-statement-greece/" target="_blank">Troika memorandum</a>. The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras acknowledged – unlike social democrats <em>choosing</em>
to implement neoliberalism as part of their ‘modernization‘ – that this
was ‘a bad deal’ forced on the Greeks. Syriza's MPs were divided
although three quarters of them followed Tsipras and voted yes. Outside
in Syntagma Square thousands of angry demonstrators gathered and then
marched through downtown Athens, this time the ‘NO’ being reserved for
rejecting the memorandum. There is a strong current of dissent in the
Syriza party Central Committee, which has yet to meet. Yet there is also
a general sense we get from party members and supporters at all levels
we have talked with here that the government should be supported and
continue in office.</p>
<div style="float:right;border:0px none;margin:1em;padding:0.3em;width:31.6em">
<div style="margin-left:0.5em">
<img src="http://www.socialistproject.ca/bullet/b1145.jpg" alt="" height="385" width="490"></div></div><span class="">
<p>In the face of these divisions and frustrations, what if anything
might be done to revive and continue Syriza's struggle against
neoliberalism? And since neoliberalism is what capitalism <em>is</em>
today – there is no other kind – what can be done to lay the basis for
ending capitalism? This is not just a question for Greeks, though
crucial aspects of this dilemma are of course specific to Greece, but
for how the left everywhere thinks about and responds to the challenges
of coming to power in a hostile environment to try to protect people
from the worst depredations of neoliberalism, and tries to embark on
‘really-existing transitions’ to a more egalitarian, solidaristic,
substantively more democratic world.</p>
</span><p>Sections of the Greek left and a good part of the international left
have argued that the deal should have been rejected, and Grexit embraced
instead. This opens up a number of scenarios but the most likely would
be the government resigning, calling new elections, and Syriza running
on a program that reversed its former support for staying in the
eurozone. Whether or not the party would win its credibility would,
according to this argument, be maintained and it would at least live to
fight another day.</p><span class="">
<h3><a>Exiting the Euro, Leaving the State</a></h3>
</span><p>We would not dismiss the above argument out of hand. It reflects
legitimate emotional sentiments and strategic orientations. Until
recently, however, three of four Greeks opposed Grexit, and even if this
has shifted dramatically with the referendum and its aftermath, there
is no clear and deep consensus on leaving. Tsipras and a good part of
the leadership is, in this regard, not simply ‘tailing’ the public but
deeply committed to Europe on both economic and cultural grounds. For
those of us who have long argued that eventual exit is essential,
especially from a socialist perspective, the challenge is not so much to
condemn this but to ask: When is the right moment to take this on? What
practical steps, ideological and in terms of state capacities, might be
argued for now to move the party and its base toward a consensus?</p>
<p>As for counselling Syriza to risk losing its governing status, it
needs to be noted that Syriza already faced this question in the run up
to the 2012 elections, and concluded that the responsible decision was
to enter the state and do everything it could to restrain the neoliberal
assault from <em>within</em> the state. Its electoral breakthrough that
year was based on Tsipras's declaration that Syriza was not just
campaigning to register a higher percentage of the vote but determined
to form a government with any others who would join with it in stopping
the economic torture while remaining within Europe. It was only when it
came close to winning on this basis, that Syriza vaunted to the
forefront of the international left's attention, and by the following
summer, Tsipras was chosen by the European Left Parties to lead their
campaign in the 2014 European Parliament elections. Syriza's subsequent
clear victory in Greece in this election foretold its victory in the
Greek national election of January 2015, when it became the first and
only one of all the European left parties to challenge neoliberalism and
win national office.</p>
<p>Even apart from the humanitarian measures it immediately introduced
without allowing the Troika's representatives to vet the legislation,
the very attempt by the new government to challenge the Troika has
helped expose the neoliberal essence of the EU and to generate
discussions on what alternatives, however difficult to imagine, might
be. It strikes us as premature to conclude from the denouement to this
five month challenge that was finally reached this week, however
sobering it has been, that it is better for Syriza to leave the state to
its bourgeois opponents. It seems better to move beyond outrage and
protest, let alone resignation, and instead struggle with what kinds of
changes remain possible in the state to support the needs of the
majority of Greek people who voted OXI in the referendum and to
contribute to the much-needed further development of their already
powerfully demonstrated capacities for solidarity and innovation.
Without this a productive path out of the eurozone, and perhaps even the
EU, to escape neoliberalism would be inconceivable. It is this, not
just surreptitiously making plans for a new currency, that properly
preparing for Grexit would really need to be about.</p>
<p>Those advocating an exit from the euro acknowledge that there will be
costs. Yet they also tend to understate, sometimes rather glibly, the
chaos this would entail especially for a state steeped in two centuries
of clientalist practices. Along with this comes an exaggeration of what
exiting the euro would, in itself, achieve. The economics of a new
devalued currency are sure to lead to high inflation and further
dramatic reductions in living standards, nor can it of itself produce
new competitive industries. Where the depth of the crisis is as severe
as it is in Greece and partly rooted in the very restructuring of its
economy that came with its deeper integration into Europe, changes in
the currency are unlikely to restore old industries or develop new ones.
It is worth remembering how many states with their own currencies are
unable to withstand the ravages of neoliberalism.</p>
<p>That the options open to the Syriza government are even more limited
by the way the new memorandum is structured to cruelly discipline
Greece's integration into neoliberal Europe is obvious enough. It should
also be increasingly obvious to those in the party whose commitment to
the EU was foundational that staying in the eurozone is inconsistent
with restraining neoliberalism's negative impact on most Greeks. It is
much to be hoped that Syriza, and the European Left Parties in general,
will abandon the notion that an even more centralized transnational
European state would be more progressive. But it does not follow from
any of this that it would be correct for Syriza to lead a Grexit right
now, without a much deeper preparation for dealing with the
consequences.</p>
<p>What about resigning from office to free itself from administering
the memorandum? It would be highly irresponsible, having entered the
state in the first place promising to try to at least ameliorate the
effects of neoliberalism in Greece, to step down now after what has been
imposed on the Syriza government for its anti-neoliberal orientation
and its democratic temerity in calling the referendum. This only deepens
its responsibility to do all it still can to restrain the impact of
neoliberalism. To do otherwise would be to acquiesce in the goal of
those who tried to use the negotiations as a way to bring this
government down.</p>
<h3>Toward a Real Plan B</h3>
<p>The point we are getting at is that framing the issue in terms of an
exhausted Plan A (negotiating with Europe) and a rejection of the euro
(Plan B) is too limited a way to frame the dilemmas confronting Syriza.
What the deeper preparation for leaving the eurozone and possibly also
the EU, actually entails is <em>to build on the solidarity networks that
have developed in society to cope with the crisis as the basis for
starting to transform social relations within Greece</em>. That is the
real plan B, the terrain on which both Syriza and the social movements
might re-invigorate now. What, more concretely, might this mean?</p>
<p>The recent years of struggle have developed the famous grassroots
solidarity movement that began – as all organizing must – by addressing
the needs of people. Out of this grew the <a href="http://www.solidarity4all.gr/" target="_blank">some 400 solidarity groups</a>
all across Greece addressing basic community needs through
self-organized democratically run collectives which provide support for
people's health, food, housing and other needs. Syriza members were
among those deeply involved in establishing and maintaining the
solidarity networks and its MPs elected in 2012 contributed 20 per cent
of their salaries to them. But since the Syriza government was elected
this year it has done very little to change and use the state so as to
sustain and broaden this remarkable movement.</p><span class="">
<p>Two leaders of the ‘Solidarity for All’ assembly of these groups told
us how frustrated they were that they could not even get from the
Ministry of Agriculture the information they need on the locations of
specific crops so they might approach a broader range of farmers and
develop more direct links between them and people in need. Only 12
people in total are employed in working for Solidarity for All – their
numbers should be multiplied with the state's help. The military trucks
sitting idle between demonstrations could be used to facilitate the
distribution of food through the solidarity networks as a way of
offsetting some of the cuts to the poorest pensioners, and of
compensating for the increased VAT on food imposed by the latest
memorandum. Various state departments could be engaged in identifying
idle land – of which there is plenty in the countryside and in light of
the crisis also in urban areas – which could be be given over to
community co-ops to create work in growing food, and coordinating this
across sub-regions.</p>
</span><p>The Ministry of Education should be actively engaged in promoting the
use of schools as community hubs that provide spaces for the social
movements organizing around food and health services, and also to
provide technical education appropriate to this. We talked with many
students who were clearly enthusiastic about working in the community
but were also quick to admit that while they were adept at competing in
student union elections and good at distributing pamphlets and
organizing demonstrations, their skills for longer-term community
organizing were very limited. The Ministry of Education could help
overcome this by setting up special programs to prepare students to
spend periods of time in communities, contributing to adult education
and working on community projects.</p>
<p>Similarly, the privatizations forced on the Greek state should be
accompanied by requirements that the new owners make a compensating
commitment to establish industrial parks where new jobs might be
created. Privatized firms might be required to source inputs inside
Greece, while the state's own purchases of furniture, materials and
supplies (including for schools and hospitals) might be sourced from new
production units set up his way. With so many structures standing idle
and under-used (like the Olympic sports facilities), all manners of
co-ops and small businesses should be supported in setting up operations
in them, aided by groups of young architects and engineers recruited to
reconfigure these spaces. The U.S. New Deal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration" target="_blank">Work Projects Administration</a>
could serve as an example not only in this respect, but especially in
respect to the broad range of artistic, theatrical and cultural
activities in which so many unemployed young people are already engaged.</p><span class="">
<p>We do not want to overstate this. These experiments would not
themselves be 'solutions’. And they would no doubt lead to objections
that they negate the intent of the new memorandum's structural
adjustment demands. But seen strategically, they invite a constructive
approach to linking the state to communities in new ways that would
offset the black and grey markets which might otherwise overwhelm an
economy that moved out of the eurozone. And it helps lay the foundation
for a new stage in addressing the domestic barriers imposed by the
inequalities of wealth and private property, and concretizes the need
for investment planning and public ownership so as circulate society's
social surplus to local, regional and sectoral institutions.</p>
</span><h3>Conclusion: Leadership of a New Kind</h3>
<p>The Syriza government currently retains a store of good will, even if
this has been damaged by the memorandum. To prevent the further erosion
of that popular support it will need to concretely counter the
Troika-imposed legislation. For every negative bill it puts forth it
should creatively put forth a positive bill that confirms its continuing
commitment to the fight against neoliberalism. Syriza's ministers must
never depart from treating the negative impositions as something
positive, and indeed be expected to act as socialist educators, helping
people grasp the barriers to improving their lives and raising rather
than lowering long term expectations by continuing to attack
neoliberalism and speak to a socialist vision of solidarity and
democracy. And it is this that should inspire and guide the
transformation of state structures away from the old clientalism.</p>
<p>None of this can happen unless Syriza as a party develops the
orientation and capacities to lead the Greek state and society in this
direction. We have met with people in the party and social movements, as
well as the state, who are concerned that Syriza falls well short in
this respect. Among the various reasons for being critical of Syriza,
this is the most significant. •</p>
