How is raising taxes helping to cure Greece's biggest problem (tax evasion and corruption)? I could even support a EU driven tax collection system, but not this.

I think Greece has bigger problems. Case in point: the extreme left is the ruling party. That can't end well. It never does.

The very fact that an anti-establishment leftist party can amass such power means the fathers of democracy aren't fit to vote responsibly.

 far left my ass... syriza is just not neoliberal they dont want state capitalism like the udssr had, or communism, they dont even want socialism.   they want a more social democratic system, thats not realy  problem, those system have the best results in the long run.

That system will end in an even more corrupt country. Like China, Cuba, Soviet, East gemany that system is almost extinct for a reason it doesn't work with humans only with robots

you mean state capitalism, not social democartic.  northern europe is social democratic, strong unions, a strong state, alot of regulations, a good social system, state holdings just in some parts of the economy(railroads, postal service, etc).
