Fight for Greece! Fight for Europe!

1.

Don't let Greece go - let the goddess of joy, daughter of Elysium, unite us with our sisters and brothers!
 

2.

If we let Greece go the euro will start to unravel, then the EU. There are epochs in European history when pan-European organisations are vital for the preservation of our various local cultures. Now is one of those epochs. Such transnational European organisations are the norm throughout history - the Roman Empire, the Delian League, the Catholic Church, the Holy Roman Empire, the Hanseatic League, the Confederation of the Rhine, the Habsburg Empire, Napoleonic Europe. Anyone who doesn't see this does not understand Europe. Keep Greece in the euro and protect our common heritage from the anti-European barbarians!

If we lose Greece it will be a terrible mistake. The city-states of Ancient Greece are where the European story started.  Classicism, Medievalism, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and Romanticism were NOT national phenomena - historically these were all European phenomena that synthesised with local cultures and nationalities in a variety of different ways. The era of the exclusively sovereign nation-state was a recent short-lived period that ended in total catastrophe for Europe. Let Europe return to its traditional roots. Fight for Greece and fight for Europe!

4.

If we lose Greece then Europe will fracture -  we will be powerless to resist the on-going invasion of our lands by bourgeois capitalist barbarians and their global corporations. Our precious towns and villages will be completely overrun with bland homogenised plastic logos, junk food chains and other vulgarities - and the glory of Europe will be extinguished forever. Is that what you want for your children?

Do you want to have to queue up at a foreign embassy for a visa every time you holiday in Greece? Get real Europe! If we are this myopic we might as well be done with it and just hand over the Greek Islands to Putin or Turkey or whoever else might want them. Then we can all sing along with Byron:

The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece

Where burning Sappho loved and sung, 

Where grew the arts of war and peace,

Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung! 

Eternal summer gilds them yet,

But all, except their sun, is set.
