Greek Youth Against Austerity
Syriza Youth
Syriza Youth was founded in 2013, as the youth organization of the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza) in Greece. This article first published on their website neolaiasyriza.gr (July 23).
The agreement reached in the months of negotiation of the SYRIZA-ANEL Government on 13 July is, beyond doubt, a huge defeat for the forces of the radical left in Greece. The unprecedented coup that lenders caused, was only the latest episode of a series of extreme coercion that led the government in a stifling political impasse.
However, it would be extremely deficient on our part, to interpret the outcome of the negotiations only as a result of lenders’ options. We ought to negatively evaluate the significant devaluation of the...

Social Democracy or Revolutionary Democracy: Syriza and Us
Michael A. Lebowitz
All eyes on the Left are upon Greece. Not because of a general interest in the contradictions of capitalism in the midst of this particular crisis but because of Syriza. Unfortunately, what we are observing is not unique to Syriza. The story has been told before, and the story inevitably will occur again if we do not learn from it. Rather than debating the arguments of individuals (many of them good comrades) who may hold different views, I think it is essential to try to understand how this happened and why.
Let me begin by setting out my premises, which may be sufficient to draw a red line between my argument and that...

BY THE LAPINE · JULY 26, 2015
Harper tries to conduct firefighters but they refuse to sing O Canada for him.
KELOWNA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is getting slammed on social media for having a group of front-line firefighters pulled out of the smoky hills near this bustling B.C. city so they could pose with him for a patriotic, pre-election picture.
But things didn’t go quite as planned for Harper’s advance team of organizers.
The selected firefighters were so tired and annoyed that they just silently watched Harper as he waved his arms around like a conductor and tried to get them to sing along with him in a rousing chorus of O Canada.
None of the group sang or even hummed along.
And none of them accepted the “Canada’s Better With Harper” t-shirts that the PM’s bodyguards were handing out.

Hello PAOV,"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality." - Dr. Jonas Salk
When Jonas Salk invented the polio vaccine in 1952, he had the courage to dream of a world without polio. Thanks to his ingenuity, and the efforts of millions around the world, the polio virus is now 99.9% eradicated. But the fight isn't over yet. It's time we match Dr. Salk's courage and end it once and for all.
Send a tweet to the Canadian and Australian governments asking them to commit to ending polio for good.
