Slavoj Žižek na zanimiv način razloži, zakaj je Grčijo treba držati v dolžniškem razmerju kot načinu podreditve. S konceptom superega razloži sadistične užitke EU/Nemčije ob tem, ko žrtev (objektivno) ne more izpolnjevati zahtev. Na drugi strani pa govori tudi o nizkotni primitivnosti širše javnosti, ki mirno sprejme milijarde (tisoče milijard) odpisa dolga bankam in njihovega reševanja z davkoplačevalskim denarjem (do česar je prišlo zaradi ekscesnega in goljufivega ravnanja bankirjev), na drugi strani pa ima težave sprejeti odpis dolga do Grčije, zaradi katerega je padlo v humanitarno krizo in v nevarnost revščine milijone ljudi.
As we all know, EU policy towards heavily indebted countries like Greece is one of “extend and pretend” – extending the payback period, but pretending that all debts will eventually be paid. So why is the fiction of repayment so stubborn? It is not just that this fiction makes debt extension more acceptable to German voters; nor is it that the eventual write-off of the Greek debt may trigger similar demands from Portugal, Ireland, and Spain. The true reason is simply that those in power do not really want the debt to be fully repaid. The true goal of lending money to the debtor is not to get the debt reimbursed with a profit, but rather the indefinite continuation of the debt that keeps the debtor in permanent dependency and subordination.

You cant expect Greece to immiserate itself forever
Germany should realise that a settlement that is generous to Greece will hurt in the shortterm but reap benefits longterm
Debt reduction is the best way forward, then and now…
Handily enough, now as then much of the debt is owed “internally” in a bloc of so called allies…
Just set the payments in such a way as to make it in everybodys interest that Greece trades and prospers
Irving…
