Melancholic Greek Troglodytes<\/a> give birth to a big fat Greek analysis (via<\/em> libcom<\/a>):<\/p>\n Through the constant terrorism of the media for almost a year now concerning \u201cour\u201d debt, the modern moralists, the preachers of the word of capital and money are trying violently to convince us, the \u201cdebtors\u201d, that in order to pay back \u201cour\u201d debt to \u201cour\u201d creditors we are obliged to take up our cross of torture and sacrifices, to place our faith in the orthodoxy of the Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies and the Stability Pact and filled with awe to anticipate in the fullness of time the post-deficit life.<\/p>\n For months now, fiscal terrorism attempts to become more effective targeting, through the collective responsibility of the debts, our own subjectivity. The storm of the imminent threats against \u201cour\u201d national economy aims at the internalization of the crisis as fear and guilt: “our\u201d debts (Schulden<\/em>) should become our collective guilt (Schuld<\/em>). Thus, the original sin recurs even more violently to make us, paraphrazing Nietzsche, pledge our already low wages, our already labour-intensified life, our very expectations for a world where capitalist domination will be history. They want us to pledge our own claims for a life liberated of debts and guilt now and in the future; to get indebted with the burden of a depressingly insecure present so that we eliminate even from our imagination any possibility of abolishing this old, burdened with guilt and debts, world…<\/p>\nBURDENED WITH DEBT<\/strong>
