I concur.  Anyway, in the 1970s Greece was along with Italy and Portugal
part of that "unsettled" zone of European capitalism...
despite democratization, not much has changed, right?  The CP is still
wedded to Stalinist orthodoxy and is drab and conservative, but still has
some real roots in the working class and trade union support.  I'm not sure
about the current political orientation of SYRIZA, but compared to the rest
of Europe they are quite vibrant.  I'm also not sure if all that
"petit-bourgeois rock throwing" pushed people towards the "law and order",
but from the last election results it didn't seem that way.  I don't see
much of an alternative opening up in Greece.  If shit hits the fan and the
center-left can't impose austerity and there aren't forces strong enough to
the left to really rock the boat and the country enters into another prolong
period of chaos.... what happens?  Chaos until the right wins a mandate in
the next elections?
