So did the anarchists. They're also the only major group ready to pick up arms against the fascists.

What a bullshiat article.

A) The dumpster divers failed to predict the Greek economic crisis.
B) The article is about some douchebag filmmaker claiming his film predicted the Greek economic crisis.
C) His film did not predict the Greek economic crisis.

Do anarchists count as a group? I think that kind of defeats the point of being an anarchist. You kind of need to talk about them is more abstract terms. Many anarchists are ready to pick up arms against the fascists.

Also, if you look a bit, you can find someone who has predeicted just about any major economic downturn. I (among countless others) predecited the collapse of the housing market in the US.

This actually sounds like an argument for increased immigration controls.

Reduce the number of people picking for trash and those remaining have their individual income goes up. Then they wind up with a higher income tax bracket.

I predict a German economic/loan/housing bubble crisis within 10 years, based on a stray fax, a shifty payday loan company, and Siemens.

Didn't they take the gold in that event in '04?

As did I, but I *freely* admit I didn't expect it to take the whole damn economy with it

Came here to post that i had read the article and failed to see where it proved anything beyond the need for better immigration laws. It seems that i am not alone in that view.

Here's my attempt:

A) Find a failed nation.
B) Ask fringe outliers if they ever thought the nation would fail way back when.
C) Print money.

There is a chance for a German bubble in the next decade, as they start to spend/invest the money they get back from all the loans they're making to prop up Greece, Spain, etc.

There are many groups of different types of anarchists in Greece. If you're implying organization isn't anarchist, you should probably read its Wikipedia entry. Anti-organizational anarchists do exist, but they're a fringe, usually anti-technology and anti-civilization too.
