Varoufakis: "Clinton ruled herself out of progressive politics when she backed the war in Iraq"
Yanis Varoufakis: "Just because she [Hillary Clinton] is on the left of
Donald Trump does not exactly qualify her for being a representative of
the left. It’s like saying Attila the Hun was on the left of Genghis
Khan. It doesn’t make much sense. Hillary Clinton ruled herself out of
progressive politics when she backed the war in Iraq. When, as secretary
of the state, she participated in this catastrophe, which is Libya, and
indeed celebrating watching the video of the mutilation
of a very bad man [Muammar Gaddafi]. Anyone who actually celebrates
watching the mutilation even of an enemy in my mind is a dangerous
person. And finally when she strategically, but also I think in terms of
belief, identified completely with Wall Street and the struggle that
Wall Street made after 2008 not to be seriously reformed following the
collapse that it occasioned."
