  "It's not capitalism". What he means is it's capitalism where a few actors have too much influence. Was the US oil trade around 1880 not capitalism because of Standard Oil? Are the US not capitalist because of the military-industrial complex? Is the labor market not capitalism because of (the strong position of large employers / unions, your choice)? These extremisms are also thought-terminating. They offer little nuance to attach to and follow along and maybe have some own ideas. What Varoufakis offers are ready-made slogans to shout at someone.
