Yanis Varoufakis is a rich kid as is his wife, and their relatives. That's my point. He is part of the very thing he claims to be fighting.

You say he is talented. I say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has been promoted by some powerful institutions such as mainstream media and elite universities. He did not get up there on his own. He isn't some street kid from Athens who clawed his way up by his own intellect.

By the way, I don't have a big problem with Corbyn as an individual. I think he is personally honest. I do have concerns that a decent man like him (or Bernie Sanders) may be used by individuals who are less honest. That has happened in the British Labour Party many times.

I'm not disputing the facts. I'm just pointing out that it's the norm.

I'm not sure what you're implying though. I don't think he is being platformed by current mainstream institutions if that's what you're saying.

He is being platformed by them. He was never off the BBC at one point and he writes for broadsheet papers on a frequent basis.
