1st. Greece needs to return to a confederacy of city-states
practicing direct democracy and earth first principles with a
green-communist/socialist economy–independent of Europe.
2nd.
Greece needs to reach out to Italy and Spain and other Med countries–to
form a Med economic treaty organization–or even a union. The med
countries are basically in the same boat and have a similar culture with
a cultural taproot. It makes more since–same language roots, same
historical roots, same economical roots. There is no reason for them to
be united with Germanic language groups and economic cultures in the
north–its a wholly different culture in the north.
Cyprus, Malta,
Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, the Balkans, the Canaries, the
Azores–and then reach out to Iceland the Scandinavian countries to from
another trade partnership.
A confederacy of med city-states and
nation-states under a green umbrella government. there are numerous
ways to go about it, but it seems to me a Med Union is the most natural
future. With an established protectionist policy–the med trading zone.
and build trade alliances with Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Black Sea
nations (Russia, Georgia, Crimea (the Crimean Union of Eastern Ukraine),
Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Ethiopia, (not Israel, a rogue terrorist
nation) The MED Trading Federation. If Northern Europe or America or
Africa or Asia wants to pass through the pillars and trade they must go
through the MED Union and trading federation–on Mediterranean terms.
The capital would be in Athens. With the trading federation
headquarters in Sicily or Malta, with customs ports in the Canaries and
Azores. And Gibraltar, the Azores, the Canaries would be defense posts.
It is a natural state–the Mediterranean union. It would not be hostile
to N. Europe or Americas; on the contrary it would be allies, but trade
would be on med terms–not NATO and the bankers of Orwell’s Oceania.
