    As an ordinary person, this man is someone I will always hold in esteem mainly because of two points: He shows no signs of self interest and more importantly he admits that he made mistakes. To me that's the real sign of a person who can be held in trust, a very dangerous thing in the modern world. There's not enough of people like him in power.

    @@borntodoit8744 -Yes, you Dolt, I believe in capitalism because it works. In a free market each person is able to bargain with different people to determine the pecuniary value of his/her own labor, rather than to be forcibly remunerated according to a decision made by some government official per socialism. A free market system is just and proper because it enables each person to achieve the highest possible pecuniary return for his/her labor by bargaining with multiple people and by freely entering into contracts that will most advantageously remunerate remunerate him/her. This willing seller-willing buyer situation also benefits society because it incentivizes people to develop and provide new and improved products and services for the public. Products and services developed competitively through free enterprise are on the whole far superior to the products and services that are available in a government-controlled socialist economies. Whenever and wherever true socialist economies have been instituted, they have ALWAYS failed to compete with free market systems. Furthermore, socialism can not survive unless it is forcibly imposed by government on citizens. True socialism benifits only the elite ruling class and always deprives other citizens of basic rights.

    Agree on that, the plan was for Germany to pay for Europe as some sort of guilt trip for WWII, (ps look int who really started WWII, it was not the Germans) Anyhow, Germany works to subsidise everyone else. Except the Germans are slowly waking up, it is absurd that Germany has to pay for other nations. Germany's AfD wants Germany out of the EU and they are the fastest-growing political party in Germany, now a major force. Once Germany leaves the EU is dead. Apparently, Merkel has just agreed to pay the extra money needed to cover the Brexit shortfall, its in the British press but not in the German media, strange that.

I clearly remember many cases of introducing myself as a greek to german people and the insults about being poor and lazy and not paying taxes started immediately. And no, they were not meant as jokes, these were people I'd just met and the first thing they though of saying to me after I mentioned my name and ethnicity was insults and racism. It was completely insane. I know not everyone is like that in Germany, as i have german friends who are cool, but the anti-greek propaganda in german politics and media between 2008 and now, has done a lot of damage and has caused hate and racism in germany.

    Varoufakis is the person who has best articulated what has really been going on during the Euro crisis. Politicians throughout Europe have simply been totally dishonest with their electorates because they know that prioritising the interests of the self destructing financial elite over everyone else would be a non starter if voters knew what was happening.

    The problem is voters don't understand HOW they are being screwed. They prefer a simple narrative that doesn't require any deep thinking on their part. The reactionary agenda is so much easier to swallow. Just pretend entire economies can be compared to individual households.

    Our prime minister is a national and international disgrace. She is NOT a true Brit. What she is is a greedy, treacherous, treasonous bitch who deserves, along with many of our politicians, to be hung for their crimes against democracy and therefore the people. But trust me when I say this, it's a battle history has taught that they will, they must lose. We will not lie down and just take it. People are more furious than I have ever known in my 50 years.
