Yanis Varoufakis, Alexis Tsipras and the entire Syriza party are children, not men. Men don't whine and threaten and issue bold claims then do nothing. Men take action. Greece cannot move forward under the euro or, at least without heavily taxing the oligarchy and even that would not do the job fully.
You can say you are going to do all these things; you can get yourself elected to power, but when you keep talking and pledging your allegience to a system that has raped and decimated your economy and your people you are nothing but a child. You're not a man. Men take action.
My personal view.

I think eventually the Greek people will realize they've been conned and turn on Syriza.
History is not kind to politicians who sold out their own people -- i.e., Vichy France, Quisling.
The fundamental question is why politicians all over the West seek power and then do absolutely nothing with it.
The world is controlled by 'weather men' who do not act, just observe, and maybe, sometimes, react.
Humanity, so dumb.
All this brainwashing about 'the market' as an analogy of God has destroyed democracy effectively over the last 40 years, the weather man have been captured by the narrative and we cannot do anything about it.
TINA is now a reality, because how intellectually bankrupt the "elites" are, constrained by their own thinking and lack of insight.
And the industrialized university education machine keeps regurgitating this type of 'leadership' unfortunately.
Varoufakis has been open about his discomfort with his policy of saving capitalism from itself. What I appreciate is his pragmatism. Sometimes you are well served in underplaying your hand until the opponent overplays his. Alternatively, the opponents may eventually realize that their own policies are more dangerous than the Syriza "radicals".
It's not just a matter of Bankstas coming to believe that the Eurozone would continue to personally benefit them by being re-designed as an open system to replace the closed one it's about asking them to convert from libertarian fascism to democracy.

“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.”
(Franklin D. Roosevelt: “Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies.,” April 29, 1938.
