and I use that word purposefully. And ideology doesn't need facts or results to justify itself because the idea is everything. That's why you can't change these ideologues' minds on austerity. As several posters have said in this thread, they will have all sorts of excuses as to why any rebound in the Greek economy will be BECAUSE of the austerity that was in place and NOT because they abandoned it.

They're like fascists in that way, you can't convince them, so they just have to be fought.
