[ukipwarrior]

[PanosKates95]

if all Greek communist parties unite and solve their differences i think they can lead Greece with communism K.K.E can't do it alone!

[pie8441]

Lianas my name!!!! Yay!!!! hahaha

[333anastasios]

How long we are going to hide behind Akropolis? Come down to the real world. How long we are going to sing old glory and cry? If Churchill said "the heroes fight like Greeks" he had his reasons to say so. We were never rewarded for that then, we are never going to get anything now. We civilized the barbarians then, who is going to give us some common sense to put order to our house. WAKE UP!!!

[artemis20001000]

[014255]

Oops maybe that's too much.....how about this....try and enforce the smoking ban, stop serving bombes in bar and clubs, learn to stop at traffic lights. Red means stop...green is for go. Hahaha......try an form an orderly queue. If you've lived in Athens then you know what I am talking about.

[014255]

Lol.....so funny reading the comments. My opinion, Greece is in the mess it's in because.......they are short sighted, arrogant and corrupt. By the way.....I am Greek. Stop blaming the eurozone, stop blaming the world economy. Wakey wakey....collect taxes, reduce defunct public sector and why not throw some corrupt politicians in jail (Greek politicians have immunity...cannot be tried in a court of law currently).

[StamfordMax]

Is this woman drunk?

[65fisherman]

@StamfordMax why??? most probably you are!!!

[bulletsons]

φυσικά!

καλούμε το λαό για αντίσταση αλλά φυλάμε τη βουλή παρέα με τους μπάτσους

καλούμε το λαό να ανατρέψει το καπιταλισμό και όταν ακούμε δημοψήφισμα δε νιώθουμε τόσο μπαόουλντ εντ μπιούτιφουλ...μα εκεί θα χρειάζοταν να μας εξηγήσει το σχέδιο του κκε για την μετά ευρώπης εποχή για την Ελλάδα.

ξέρεις κανένα μόουρ ντιμοκράτικ γούεϊ από το δημοψήφισμα μάϊ ντίαρ?

επιχείρημα ότι μας χρειάζεται η ευρώπη για την ακρόπολη ούτε ο άδωνης δεν θα έλεγε!

εκλογές?από μπαρούφες είμαστε χορτάτοι,θενκς

[fbbluv]

apart from bankers and Euro.. Greece has cultural structural problem, Greeks are laid back too relax like oil rich golf countries. Forget the past history work for the future, empire comes and go.

[amaratan1]

Who really supports the Greeks? In fact NOONE. Time to look at yourselves in the mirror and try to understand why the entire world hates you. It would be good for you. And please, stop being lazy. Work harder and pay your taxes

[DominusofMyself]

@amaratan1 How you say that? You ve lived in Greece? Or maybe you say what you ve listened from ur media? You know how a greek citizen lives? If he works a lot or not? Have you ever think if these are stereotypic views of other countries?? Every European who hates me, will be in my position soon......even if he is lazy or not!!

[georgia2291]

@amaratan1 before you speak learn to think and before that learn to hear, hear very careful what the world say. hear what is the real problem and no what ''they want to make you hear and think''. you are 30 it's the time to hear, to think and in the end to speak.. i am only 20 but please hear and feel what i say to you.

[21Sozon]

@amaratan1 Greeks work harder than anyone in Europe in smallest sallaries than the most of them! What r they told u? xaxaxa! Learn more and dont say bullshit! Capital has the responsibility for that! They never pay cent! They try to take from the people what they dont get from banks and big industries! For sure i wont pay for them! REAL DEMOCRACY NOW

[amaratan1]

@21Sozon Greeks work shorter than any other European and pay no taxes at all. Most of them like to mock about those who want to pay and work. Greeks also retire at 55. So how long you expect us to cover your messes? You need to understand that if there is something that moves the world forward this is WORK. Protesting and rioting is immoral. The only moral way to improve your country is HARD WORK

[picollogrande1991]

@amaratan1 Personally i'm greek and i have to assure you that "Go Greek for a week" is not a reliable media to make assumptions on greek life and work! All you say are such an atrocious lie, that the govermental greek parties hane been blurting out all these years....The only real responsible of greek crisis is the greek and european Capital that through their anti-greek policies mess up our lives....

[picollogrande1991]

@amaratan1 Plus, protesting and rioting in reason(as it happens here) is not immoral, if you are a european citizen you should know that " goverments should be servants to their peoples-and if they do not implement the civil will they should be outcast"(Rousseau). That' s the greek reality, so please don't judge a whole people only by reproducing "reality shows' bullshit!"

[picollogrande1991]

@amaratan1 The only defect you can cast on Greeks, is that all these years they have been supporting(the majority of them) not only outsent parties but also policies of their own national betrayal!

[DoelGr]

@amaratan1 well...your wrong,greeks work longer hours than all europeans about 2000h/ per year,and the average retirment age is 61.7 years,its imposible not to pay taxes like vat tax(23%) gas tax that makes the gas prices go at 1.60/littre,and also income taxes that depends on your status.the only people that tax-evade are free lancers like doctors lawyers electricians etc...and big corporations,my father is 58 and has a lot of years to work ahead...and we have payied all our taxes...

[amaratan1]

@DoelGr Bullshit, if you are so hard working then why you don't leave the euro and build up your country again? So for now, euro is crashing. All because of you

[DoelGr]

@amaratan1 you speak like a 7 year old...first of all we want to get out of the euro,second euro is not crushing cause of us or (me) if this was true everything would be fine,everyone has large debts even your country,and third its not in my hand to do anything,its not like if i say get out of the euro we will get out of the euro,there are many unjusticies for example i know people that got pension at 33 but these people live in the back of others that get it at 60 or more...

[kk789789789]

@amaratan1 Do you actually have any serious argument worth discussing besides saying 'bullshit' and then reproducing the most simplistic cliches you've heard about the crisis? It's obvious that you don't know 'bullshit' about what's going on, that you don't realize that the crisis not a particularly Greek but a global issue, that the crisis is expanding throughout the western world because it is a structural problem of neoliberalism. Do your studying before you express your arrogant opinion.

[21Sozon]

@amaratan1 

[21Sozon]

Απάντηση σε αυτό το βίντεο... ok

[AnnAzAb2912]

@amaratan1 Bullshit. The work-harder-pay-taxes cliche, is getting too boring to answer properly. So, fuck you, really.

[amaratan1]

@AnnAzAb2912 Bullshit. The idea I-want-everything-for-nothing isn't it a bit immoral?

[tearitup999]

'and I know that everybody understands me.....'

[aleksissoulafoula]

@tearitup999 could you possibly point out the reason of highlighting this spesific phrase,my dear?

[MrAugustus88]

What does a stupid communist know of Democrasy ? The communists and socialists destroyed Hellas and they put the blame on the jews or Americans or some other convenient scape goat.

[ComradeZX]

@MrAugustus88

As Karl Marx said: Democracy is the road to Communism. Only a true Democracy allows the workers to benefit. Democracy is about more than just voting for a variety of parties each year, social issues must be involved with a democracy as well. Communism is the the result of socialistic democracy. The majority of Communists, (if you had done research), believe in democracy to establish a workers paradise.

[aleksissoulafoula]

@MrAugustus88 THAT STUPID SOCIALISTS?? u r really not well informed!would u say the same thing if someone non-communist stated these things?cause she is saying everything right!+ look at Papandreou,Karamanlis and all the others in the houses of parliament!they r supposed 2 b democrats + look what THEY'VE DONE!the point is not WHO says these things!the point is "does hemeant it?" definitely our so called democrats dont mean a shit of what they say!

[kwisatzhaderach]

This woman, while having good intentions, is speaking delusional crap. She never answered the question put to her -- why is she not taking some personal responsibility? Clearly the banks, evil as they are, are _not_ the only ones to blame.

[funkadoros]

@kwisatzhaderach Explain what you mean please, that was quite ambiguous

[shakiMiki]

@kwisatzhaderach She says, rather than EU with Greek PM imposing, they should have an election where all the parties will will put their plans to the electorate. That is how things are done in Democracies.

[dememelei]

Your problem should be the question itself, instead of the answer that -you think- was never given. Don't you feel that your intelligence is insulted, when you are told that "Greece is threatening the intire world's economy"??? Greeks are hardly 10 million people. Realy, you believe Liana Kanelli's answer is "dillusional crap"? Interesting... Not strange that you care about the interests of poor bankers that are being so unfairly judged!

[soisodoeht]

@kwisatzhaderach Cause the greek communists have never governed Greece and have always tried to overthrow the governing class and the capitalist (within EU) system, which led Greece (Ireland, Portugal, Italy as well) to catastrophe. The consequences of excessive concentation of wealth in few hands are what the whole world is dealing with this very moment. The solution proposed by EU, IMF, USA etc is the sacrifice of the people in favor of the monopolies and bank system. Greek communists are not

[soisodoeht]

@kwisatzhaderach willing to "save" the capitalist system, but the people of Greece.

P.S. Greek communist party was the most powerful in 1944 (cause was one of the few labor parties to oppose actively the Nazi occupators of Greece) and was about to govern Greece. Of course, British and American governments were not willing to let greek people to elect their government, and and along with greek royalists and fascists/Nazi collaborators persecuted greek communists. Americans even tried for the

[soisodoeht]

@kwisatzhaderach first time the Napalm bombs on greek communists during the, so called, "greek civil war". Many were killed, some left Greece and went to the USSR and the rest were sent on desrted islands. Do you know the name of the first greek Prime-minister to persecute Greek communist along with British troops during Dekemvriana events after 1944?George Papandreou (today's prime minister's grand-father)! Do you know the Nazi collaborator who founded greek-fascist military groups to persecute

[soisodoeht]

@kwisatzhaderach greek anti-Nazi guerillas during Nazi occupation of Greece? That was Theodore Pangalos (today's vice-president's grandfather)! So, since the pro-EU, pro-Euro anti-communists have governed Greece continuously since 1944, Greek communists are the last to blame.

[SorabShroff]

Love this so much - thank you for putting this up. How wonderful is she!

[SeamusHobo]

@SorabShroff No problem, its not very often I watch a politician speak and just go WOW. Fantastic woman, wish she would move to Ireland.

[theotzimos]

@SeamusHobo Ireland and many countries should boost their Communist Revolutionary Party and you will see to spring up many personalities like Liana.

[SorabShroff]

Wonderful!
