2Greece: The Seven Black Years
This Adam Curtis blog-post looks at the Greek propensity for civil disobedience and their recent calls for direct democracy. Curtis finds the nascence of today’s social unrest in the collapse of the Greek Military Junta in 1974. He posts a BBC documentary called Greece: The Seven Black Years in its entirety. The film looks at the last days of the regime, the terrible consequences of military rule, and the direct-action implemented by the students of Athens Technical University.
Though direct-democracy is lethal when it comes to solving complex, aggressive, and circular economic problems, understanding the junta is crucial to understanding why Greece and the Greeks are so protective of their right to vote.
