Call me an absolutist, but the whole Eurozone project is an antidemocratic death star. And though he's not an obvious toad like Tsipras, I remember seeing a headline like this and thinking, "Wow, there never really was any hope, was there." That he gracefully pirouetted away with his "lefty creds" intact still bothers me.
It was Varoufkis's insistence in staying in the EU that gave away the game and still does, not how he behaved at one particular moment. I remember the Naked Capitalism bunch pushed this guy hard during the Greek crisis. And Naked Capitalism is pretty lib once you scratch the surface. All arguements end with "Eurozone good!" He was given to the greeks (and now the rest of us) to explicitly NOT give them what they wanted, much like the rest of our political class. But this one talks good.............
I wasn't gonna reply after my initial comment was blasted. I did have to refresh my memory just to make sure I wasn't just being a contrarian asshole -but yeah- I remember now. Then a few posters showed up with a frame of reference larger than the last two years. So thank you for that.
