Yanis Varoufakis just sat down for his first interview since resigning as Finance Minister of Greece. He talked frankly with Harry Lambert of the New Statesman. Here are the two most important paragraphs from the transcript.
There is no democracy in Europe. None.
Varoufakis said that Schäuble, Germany’s finance minister and the architect of the deals Greece signed in 2010 and 2012, was “consistent throughout”. “His view was ‘I’m not discussing the programme – this was accepted by the previous [Greek] government and we can’t possibly allow an election to change anything.
“So at that point I said ‘Well perhaps we should simply not hold elections anymore for indebted countries’, and there was no answer. The only interpretation I can give [of their view] is, ‘Yes, that would be a good idea, but it would be difficult. So you either sign on the dotted line or you are out.’”
Any questions?

Mob rule is equally egregious as despotism. Only a cursory examination of history will prove this.
Unfortunately, moderation is rarely sought for and still rarer to accomplish.
In all honesty, the Greek masses hardly know what’s best for them, while politicians are, for the most part, self serving.
Momentum of new world order has pushed beyond “over Center” we’ve entered free-fall state. Victims well played still lay unaware. God Speed
