I've read and listened to Yanis Varoufakis many times - but one thing he Tweeted about recently made me immensely sad.
In #Romania, the electoral authority denied the candidacy of the fascist Călin Georgescu. Varoufakis is saying that this is wrong, that we (as progressives) should defeat the fascists at the ballot box.
Here are the two reasons why I wish Varoufakis would have platformed a voice with local knowledge, instead of platforming his own, misinformed take.
