    You have got to be joking. He admitted to partying back in the 80’s…and they’re charging him for saying it was enjoyable? What the actual fuck?

      It’s a politically motivated act of terrorism. Authoritarians/dictators/fascists always twist the rule of law to destroy the lives of their opposition.

      Calling Varoufakis a finance bro is wild. He is kinda a Marxist.

            I don’t know much about the man but I found this

            He has described himself as a “libertarian Marxist”.[46]

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis

            Libertarian Marxism is a broad scope of economic and political philosophies that emphasize the anti-authoritarian and libertarian aspects of Marxism.[211] Early currents of libertarian Marxism such as left communism[212] emerged in opposition to Marxism–Leninism.[213] Libertarian Marxism is often critical of reformist positions such as those held by social democrats.[214]
