Wow! That is so hardcore! Stick it to 'em Latuff!

fan

either the previous commentor was a true master of irony or in need of getting themselves down the national gallery and checking out real comic satire.

This illistration is as always, tiresome.

do people pay money for this, I must really think about going back to art.
1 part racial sterotype
2 parts left wing dogma
and a pinch of no brain insult.

Actually, U.S. Statue of "Liberty" would be more accurate portrayal

Because it is essentially [b]U.S. imposed neo-liberal economics[/b] that have devastated the economy of Greece(and most of the rest of the world) as they are [b]Anglo-Saxon economics[/b]

Oh-oh, am I "racial stereotyping"?

Well, I suppose I am since I'm [b]exposing economic white supremacy[/b]!

STOP ANGLO-SAXON WHITE ECONOMIC SUPREMACY!

i really don't see where the racism comes into it. but also, i think it's a bit shit to blame this stuff on the european union or the united states. greece is a super corrupt county for sure. i've been there many times. the greek upper class's greed and corruption has created this situation and the working class has to pay. that the greek state is in trouble is no big deal, but maybe fair.

I see Latuff now has a cult troll(s) following. What we see here is the same dubious claims made and the same grammatical style, yet this time the troll is pretending he is an artist. Get a life!

Nice artwork, don't get the semantic

shouldn't it be a piggy draped in a Greek flag smashing a plate in the form of a Euro, while 3 other piggies look on?

I don't mean to troll

Empires have driven women crazy.

Greece has had its matruarchy destroyed by empires ruling for thousands of years in the area. Does anyone think the new millenium would be a good time to see the Sextus era ended, and the full restoration of woman's equality brought back? Seeing that 50-50 electing of women contains the material seed of the species vital livability, and the consequent laws of joy and hamony that is the natural man, woman question. Liberation of Greece and all countries depends on doubling democracy and electing woman equally, so woman can access half the wealth and law making which consequences the end of empire that sources poverty, pollution, aggressive Imperial wars, unemployment, and gender and racist discrimination. Male domination of democracy is not natural full democracy. Bring back the sanity. Viva social liberation. End pollution wars, not endless wars for more pollution.
