“…From this perspective, elements of continuity are established in public discourse between the Nazi Occupation of Greece (1941)(1942)(1943)(1944), the post-war regime of US control over the country and the experience of limited sovereignty during the economic crisis (2010-2014). 69 Notes…”

“…The management of the crisis by the European elites with the imposition of a "Memorandum" between Greece and the socalled Troika (European Commission, International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank), that included severe austerity measures, resulted in the loss of national sovereignty since Troika's representatives functioned as commissioners over the Greek government's agencies (Eleftheriou and Papadopoulos 2018). This state of affairs, which could be defined as a "colony of debt" (Kotzias 2013), triggered a wave of anti-Germanyism that was presented with explicit references to the 1940s and Axis Occupation of Greece (Lialiouti and Bithymitris, 2013), something that made it also plausible to right-wing pundits and audiences.

I hope we are not seeing the same film all over again.The position of imperial states was very different from the states of the nonaligned world. Countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, and South Africa praised Gaddafi, while in most parts of Africa, there are those who call for exposure on the role of France in Libya.After NATO declared victory, there were elaborate plans for the reform agenda in Libya. The supporters of Gaddafi were persecuted, and black Libyans were killed as mercenaries. The NTC orchestrated an elaborate process for parliamentary elections and a new government in 2012, but the case of the Libyan Investment Authority against Goldman Sachs thrust Libya again into war until the British High Court Judgment in 2016. Since then, the United Nations has attempted to create the basis for a government of National Unity, but the differing external forces that had come together to defeat Gaddafi could not agree. Libya is now caught in a war with Egypt, France, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia supporting one faction led by general Haftar, while Italy, Qatar, Turkey, and other members of the EU supporting the UN back government in Tripoli. War and destabilization has plagued the peoples of Libya since 2011. The absence of real organization of the people by Gaddafi took a heavy toll on Libyan society.
