did vroufakis resign because he could not go along with 'greasy politician, tsipras'?
Varoufakis argues that no union can operate without transfers from surplus areas to deficit areas. I am close to convinced that is indeed the case. He also asserts that there is no such mechanism in the euro area and that also appears to be true - a major part of the current chaos with Greece/Germany. Does Germany ever learn? Such transfers are even operating in Germany. Such mechanisms are in place in the UK regarding transfers to Scotchland, Wales, Northern Ireland etc, as well as various transfers via the dole and pensions systems, and infrastructure programs of various forms. (The last are generally supporting government offices or multinational manufacturing in weaker areas.) Varoufakis is a very unusual fellow. He calls himself a Marxist, yet he is remarkably realistic in among his dogma. now consider, who rules greece?

eussr greek farce continues - is the eussr in meltdown? It is war in Brussels. The Greek government cannot be trusted. Then no country can be trusted in the Euro fairyland. Governments are bad enough without the mad euro. Meanwhile, the populations are being sacrificed to the egos of politicians. It isn't the peasants who ruin the polity, it is politicians, driven by ego or, even worse, driven by the socialist cult. The peasants put their money in the banks, in the trusting manner of the less educated and the less powerful. Then when the lunatic schemes of politicians come undone, they seek to bail themselves out by stealing the chickens of the peasants. The EUSSR has no legitimate claims on the Greek peasants. The Troika - the ECB, IMF and the EU - are in breach of contract to the Greek people, but they are playing at collective punishment of those people to try to save themselves and the Greek politicians. By all means, we could put the politicians who generated this mess in jail, but attacking the populations as scapegoats is an outrage. The point of democracy is to hold politicians to account. The EUSSR is well on the way to destroying democracy. It is entirely the fault of politicians who offer bribes to peasants for votes. Those politicians should be driven out of politics. If a company offers wages higher than its production and profits will support, then the company and the directors go bankrupt, and the workers can move on. The peasants cannot (easily) move away from corrupt politicians. Corrupt company directors are in fear of the laws. Corrupt politicians even make corrupt laws and continually evade responsibility. The leadership of the UK Labour Party would all be on trial in my view, as should many Greek politicians and EUSSR bureaucrats. Only with adequate political and economic education can the peasantry be brought into meaningful citizenship. It well past time that teachers were better educated and subject to a similar stricture of the Hippocratic oath and the British Medical Council. Even though the BMC is subject to the usual interest capture, a similar supervisory structure could be a step forward. related material the web address for the article above is | ||
