      1. Contra @mattyglesias, Syriza's "irresponsible rhetoric about Nazis" served a function: to place debt crisis in historical framework

      2. The Troika wanted the discussion to be just about Greece's irresponsible borrowing. Syriza needed to break that framework.

      3. By breaking Godwin's Law, Syriza said: this isn't just about Greece. It's about what type of Europe we want to live in.

      4. The EU project, it's important to remember, was a direct outgrowth of the World Wars. Attempt to end autarky & inter-European wars.

      5. To remind people of WWII was, of course, very rude of Syriza. But it served function of moving debt issue into realm of political economy

          @HeerJeet if you can't bring up the Versailles debt strangling when unemployment is at 25%, when *can* you bring it up?

          @ryanlcooper @ckilpatrick @HeerJeet But it had fallen all the way down from 27% in just 2 1/2 years! Syriza ruined the boom!

          6. It's worth reminding people that the EU itself was only possible by the forgiveness of older debts.

          7. Also worth reminding people that the history of forcing payment on debts regardless of human costs has led to terrible things.

          @HeerJeet Syriza's (especially @yanisvaroufakis's) rudeness is the main reason the Troika hates them so. They break decorum.

          @HeerJeet Piketty makes similar points in Die Zeit interview. (Also Germany after WWI)
