		<description><![CDATA[If Greeks loved their children, would they—just to describe a few things I’ve seen with my own eyes—let them ride, helmetless, on motorbikes sandwiched between baba and mama, on roads designed for mules in the countryside, or, in a city, flying along in the wrong direction on a one-way street? Would they put their children [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[…[I]n practice, there is very little human contact between deputies of different nationalities [in the European parliament]. In the evenings, everyone goes out to dinner with their fellow countrymen—Germans with Germans, Italians with Italians; it is very rare to see people of different nationalities dining together….Everyone reads their own national newspaper: the Italians come along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is March 25th, Greece’s Independence Day, its national holiday. Liturgically, it commemorates the beginning of the Greek struggle for independence from the Ottoman empire. In fact, it represents both the initial catalyst to and the continual reference-point of a fabricated modern historiography, a seemingly endless fraud whose only purpose is the preservation—indeed, sanctification—of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word, “fascism,” had been roiling my brain for a few days before reading Perry Anderson’s essay, since I’d been thinking that, although I’ll be turning 60 next year, it’s only recently, living in Greece, that I’ve realized—by which I mean, felt in my bones—that fascism is not so much political disorder as existential regress [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where the state has led, society has followed. The years since 1993 have, in one area of life after another, been the most calamitous since the fall of Fascism….
…When the Second Republic started, Italy still enjoyed the second-highest GDP per capita of the big EU states, measured in purchasing power parity, after Germany—a standard of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If justice was done in the Trial of the Six, it was a vindictive and malignant justice. Which is why, decades afterward, its memory would add to the toxicity of a political culture already poisoned by the division among royalists, Venizelists, and, from the Thirties on, the left. The trial constituted the century’s foundational ideological [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For somebody like me, who came of age politically as part of the New—that is, anti-Soviet—Left, the years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the subsequent (incomplete) opening of the Soviet archives, have forced me into my own (voluntary) reeducation. Any number of histories of the Cold War, and of its most prominent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the keyboard this morning. I’d initially planned to continue yesterday’s post, and, in fact, to lead into what will be my last posts on this blog. But, before getting down to work, I turned on the TV, as I do most mornings, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, it’s been a while—only about three weeks, actually, but even Greece lives at (on) Internet speed, so, true to neo-Hellenic form, the revolution was not only televised (prime time, all the time), but heavily sponsored (by political parties and detergent-makers alike), split into marketing packages (depending on the demographic, as they say in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even when I was young, I never understood the privileging of youth. Turning eighteen in 1968, one of the more asinine slogans I had to contend with was the one about not trusting anyone over 30. The French are so much better at this sort of thing. “Sous les pavés, la plage!” says it all [...]]]></description>
