The finance minister of Greece stated in 2013 which aspects of Marxism he follows and which aspects he finds mistaken.

He also explained why he does not aim to destroy the euro-zone.

His experience with a first-class air ticket reminds me of an experience I had around 1990. I was invited to Japan along with Thomas Bushnell, developer of the GNU Hurd, and we were both given business-class tickets on the same flight. On arrival we found that we were both perturbed by the intensely servile attitude of the flight attendants, and perturbed even more by the idea that there are people who get used to this and expect it.
