Something extraordinary happened during the period of the Greek economic crisis. Through the angst of monetary collapse, the nascent politics of FM Yanis Varoufakis’ came to be. It was a quiet emergence from a womb of bitter contention. Everyone understood that the Greeks were getting a raw deal. It was a matter of signing on the dotted line for that balloon payment that came due far too quickly. Fairness is damned; what creditors agree to renegotiate in favor of debtors?
An unnoticed uprising found its voice in the boisterous but very handsome Yanis Varoufakis. Compelling because he’s smart and a rebel.
Compelling because he’s the elegant, eloquent professor of a new Greece… the conscripted soldier of an economic overthrow. His army is growing in the face of another upstart or …. a reawakened conservative movement. They are an opposing force bound to collide. I think the outcomes will shape global economic futures. The BRICS will have to rethink trading agreements. FANG will become toothless in its formation of trading partners. And why, you say? The monetary influencers and regulators will focus on the most significant economic engine gaining steam, a politically mature and stable EU.
Led by Angela Merkel, the EU is growing in governmental and economic power. Even immersed in partisanship, the German collective mind is centric and owns sovereign pride. And it’s the leader of a block of economically united countries. Pinching one… the group yells ouch.
There’s a growing need within the populace of Europe to resist embracing the idiocies of the singularity in religions and the politics of “the other.” Neither mindset serves the greater purpose of increasing power through sound economics and GDP growth.
This mindset is heresy and is slowly eating at the economic marrow of the current global influencer, the United States. While Americans have allowed the corrosive politics to consume its confidence and economy, Europe is coming into its own. Professor Varoufakis gets this. And has preached this for over a decade. The young and liberals are slowly growing into a new European state.
The oligarchs of corrupted wealth are gazing nervously in their rearview mirrors.
Whether intentional, intuitive, or just the product of financial upheaval, Varoufakis has become the leading nemesis of passé’ oligarchs. The Greek socio-economists have become the emerging leader in a world facing melting borders and economic shifts.
Coupled with America and the UK’s tumble down the rabbit hole of sectarianism, the EU culture gains control. It’s becoming the more powerful influencer of financial exchanges and sovereign border agreements.
DIEM24 is his love child.
Real politics is an influential art. The owner of that talent wields global outcomes. In my opinion, a reconfiguration of global wealth can be anticipated… it’s a given. And history will note that SYRIZA versus Varoufakis was its impetus.
