Regarding tax collection, corruption, political patronage, judicial system - the difference is in local oligarchies. Syriza is much more serious (though not much able) to address the Greek oligarchy than the troika institutions.

Efficient tax collection?

In the Greek proposal, vetoed by the IMF.

A 21st century grade well functioning public administration?

In the Greek proposal.

Corruption at Swedish, not Swaziland levels?

In the Greek proposal.

A well managed public service with a minimum of political patronage?

In the Greek proposal.

A public service size commensurate with the financial ability of Greek society?

Pure sophistry, since the "financial ability" of a society is decided by political convention: The marginal cost of printing more money is zero, so sovereign financing can never be a scarce resource. Only a political weapon wielded by those with a pathological dislike of the public sector.

A judical system that provides timely and workable resolution of business and administrative disputes comparably to other EMU members?

Already in the Greek proposal. Unless you meant to append "in favor of the businesses." In which case you can shove it where the sun won't shine.

When every substantive proposal on your list is either uncontroversial or in fact the Greek position that the Troika is rejecting, it may be a sign that you need to maybe go read the Greek proposals, instead of Stasi 2.0's lies about them in FAZ.

LOL. Except for the red herring about the size of the public service, those are not the parts the Greek proposals differed from the troika proposals.

Unworkable reforms are ones that claim to put Greece back on the path to growth and debt sustainability, all the while depressing consumption and thereby tax income. That is, ones where expectation and reality diverges this spectacularly:

And let's not forget that these policies are also unworkable because the social destruction they bring (I bet you haven't read the FAZ link Katrin provided) is bound to trigger political results that undo them. The Syriza–ANEL government is already such a result, but if fools like Dijsselbloem get what they wanted in collapsing the government, the next one will be the Nazis.

DerFriedrich, ignoring that Tsipras/Syriza has actually, or is actually, addressing your concerns, you seem to be missing a very huge point.

Greece has had decades of entrenched corruption from the oligarchy, including during the last five years of acquiescence to the Troika. And you seriously expect that corruption to be undone within six months of a totally new government?

You must truly be an honored Professor of Political Science, Economics, and Fantasy Role-play, and Yurp seriously needs someone of your understanding to fix this mess quickly. Please help us.
