The Leftie just became PM of Greece, and his first order of business is to burden the one industry where Greece actually earns some money.

Slash and burn. Just like Depissio in NY.

It is as if the entire world has gone f-ing insane.

Lose all your money? NO PROBLEM! Double down and go twice as hard!

This is obviously Satan’s time.

Greece's new radical Prime Minister has declared war on the country's all-inclusive holiday resorts and vowed to limit them.

If the Army isn't involved in breaking shit and killing people then it's not war.

Whenever delusional socialists come to power, they destroy anything productive and worsen poverty.

Liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Communists are, first and foremost, jealous little losers who resent anyone who has anything that they don’t.

One usually becomes a leftist when one realizes that even the most simple things are virtually not understandable.

They therefore work to make their imaginary (and obviously very very simple) world real.

Why do we not treat them as they deserve?

Guillotines would do the job nicely.

They can’t figure out how to kill the golden goose any quicker so they can serve up roast goose to the masses.

Those resorts take money and put it into corporate profit while the tourists stay in a Disneyworld like environment because everything's been paid for. I'd wage those resorts will get around it by selling optional tours, just as the cruise ships do.

I actually think this offers the vacationer more freedom.

believes such deals 'alienate tourists from the local economy' by keeping them behind resort gates and away from local businesses and attractions.

So allow tourists to experience the same shortages, shakedowns and sh_tty service as the rest of the Greek population. Great. That'll draw them in.

What next, Albanian-style autarky from the days of Hoxha?

No more Brits throwing up in the pool or demanding chips with their moussaka.

I took a look at the platform of the SYRIZA (Coalition of the Radical Left), which just won the Greek election:

Reneg on loans, nationalize multiple industries (banks, hospitals, etc.), multiple new and increased taxes, massive new welfare programs and spending, withdraw from NATO, gut the military, attack the church (e.g. turn church buildings into homeless shelters), etc.

They are the national wrecking crew. Greece has screwed itself mightily.

Will tours of ‘ghost resorts’ be allowed? Can tourists pay money to see the ruins of recently thriving all inclusive resorts?

Greece- start stocking up on toilet paper, and get ready to wait in long lines at stores with empty shelves-your about to become Venezuela.

Why dont the locals get together and start offering their own package deals to compete with the big hotels?

They want to screw those places, but offer nothing but the expectation that you are going to naturally hand them money?
