Corporate Capitalism Is the Foundation of Police Brutality and the Prison State.

I am not opposed to capitalism as such, if it is kept in check and under strict regulation by a democratic state. I refer to our current system as "extreme capitalism" or "plutocracy".

Varoufakis explains why the rulers of Germany benefit from perpetuating crisis in southern Europe.

Some of his sharp one-liners.

About the debt crisis that is crushing Puerto Rico.

The European banks are still trying to crush Greece with a shortage of cash.

I suppose this is meant to force Greece out of the euro zone quickly. Most Greeks don't want that, but I think they will accept it rather than continue this.

The euro-zone's austerity reflects its rejection of democracy.

A German politician who represents the line of the euro banks says that Tsipras must "rebuild trust" before negotiations begin. What this means is, Tsipras should start speaking in subservient tones to show they can "trust him" to impose their rule on Greece.

The writer continues by refusing to recognize crushing imposed poverty as an issue. He says the issue is making Greece more "competitive".

That's their code work for eliminating workers' rights and giving business a free hand. They do this in one country, which puts some other country where workers still have rights at a disadvantage, which creates an excuse to do it in that country. Thus all the countries compete to let businesses spread poverty. "Free trade" treaties also represent this idea.

His next piece of bullshit is the claim that this "reform" was "hugely successful" in other European countries where poverty and suffering are still in place. It's certainly not true in Spain.

That writer is the mouthpiece of the banksters, and the fact that he says these things suggests that the banksters are not willing to compromise. Apparently they still demand abject surrender.
