SYRIZA won a triumphant 'no' vote in the Greek referendum, then capitulated to the troika literally the next day. Žižek uses this to show how even genuine popular mandates are neutralized when the left has no theory of transforming state mechanisms., illustrating left's deadlock,rebellion without new power

Greeks voted 'No' to EU austerity in a heroic referendum, then capitulated one or two days later; Žižek cites this not as betrayal (as Tariq Ali argued) but as the tragic deadlock of radical politics: winning without knowing what to do next., illustrating revolutionary tragedy,V for Vendetta problem

Syriza won a referendum against austerity and capitulated entirely the next day, for Žižek, the metaphor for the fate of the contemporary left: spectacular democratic victory followed by structural impossibility., illustrating limits of democracy,exhaustion of 20th-century left
