Varoufakis, now secretary of the small leftist party Mera25, is due to appear in court in December.

Seems dumb as heck

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?

Finance bro uses party drugs. Not exactly news.

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

KKE are Marxist. Syriza is not.

No true Scotsman, got it.

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

OF COURSE ITS NBC NEWS, the other FOX, trying to air the boogeymans"leftists, and drug"

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]

He's a finance bro by personality, Marxist-ish by economy

Yanis is so Based

Greece is so fucking corrupt it’s hard to explain how stupid this is

Yanis talking without shutting up while rolling sounds like a fun time.

The only acceptable finance bro

The marxist thing makes it news worthy.
