What kind of right-wing views do you have?

@davidecklund I hold the same position

K. B. Make sure he will restore your right to keep and bear arms or he is not good. When seconds count police are minutes away. You are all surrounded by people who hate your culture and want sharia law to replace your European laws. If migrants wont work, ship them OUT. Otherwise your people will be angry and scared and it is not right. Tell the EU and UN to take a flying leap and get out!

Thank you Lars! Together we can do it. #HopeIsBack

Varoufakis is not a politician, which is why he still has some trust and following among the public.

What a waste of 25 years you still have the gullible ignorant mind of a nine year old.

@ Humor me, fool.

@@newworldforward1842 Not a politician? Come on, don't be silly. Maybe we can agree that he is not part of the corrupt political elite but opposes them...

I did listen, but there was a lot of bullshit in the voice transmission from the future and the signal got jammed.

​@@budnwiser0 Yes, but Britain can't do its homework properly without taking a good look into its own inner motives and worn-out systems, corruption. And a class system, that keeps everything in the freezer to this day.

Try hallucigens next time. Faster, better, more efficient and they only affect you, not the rest of us.

Exactly what I was thinking back here in Belgrade, Serbia. If only, we all had at least one of politicians like Varoufakis in each of our countries. Today's world is going down without more people like him.

You can get involved in Diem25-like movements in your part of the world and form alliances. The idea is to build a transnational organization. That's the only way to achieve anything in the modern world. Nation state politics is dead. Diem25 is focused in Europe but the whole philosophy necessitates it expand and converge with similar movements in the US, Australia, wherever.

@@Camcolito 1. Any movement needs its visionary instigator. We do not yet have one here ... and *I* am not the one for that role! I'll look around, though. 2. But the populous have to be ready to embrace such a movement through deep dissatisfsction with the status quo. Australia is not yet as desperate as Europe due to comfy materialism and far less turmoil. 3. A 2 party system is still very strong here. There IS a small and growing rise in independent MPs. Maybe in a decade, after Europe has (hopefully successfully) transformed, Australia might follow suit. All the wondrous thinking Yannis talks is considered crazy stuff at present down here. Also, Australia is more politically conservative than Europe. So all up, I hold little hope for the near to medium term future.

LOL. " makes me want to believe", sums up socialist economic "thinking" really.

@@edwardburroughs1489 It sums up economy in general. Confidence and game theory plays a major part.

Try believing in fairies

@@graemecampbell9685 reduction fallacy. Are you suggesting that belief plays NO role in stock markets etc?

Why “want to believe”? Why believe at all? Isn’t knowing what we can know, and knowing that we do not know that which we do not know, far better than believing?

No, not really.

It makes sense to the uninformed and unaware. He is just a populist.. tells nice things with no substance..

@costage He's a great economist, he knows his stuff, though - he's an ace I'd say. But, lately, he engages in heavy platitudes, appeals to the lowest common denominator and, most notably, he never fails to mention those evil Nazis, fascists, racists, xenophobes and what have you, which works on the post-WW2 indoctrinated masses. He still hasn't figured out that those "racists and xenophobes" aren't so because of economy or poverty, but because of principles, which really shows that he doesn't know the kind of people the nations - NATIONS! - of Europe are. And how could he by zooming through the streets on a motorbike, shilling for climate change - a money hungry, globalist lobby? As for populism, there isn't anything inherently wrong about it, just that he's engaged in the same tactics people he criticizes are engaged in. If he stuck to the technical aspects of macro economy, he would've garnered more support also from the right, those evil "xenophobes." His movement, DiEM25, touts a lot of this new-age, neo-liberal lingo, like open borders, feminism, equality (this one always makes me laugh) and all that crap, it most definitely smells a lot like Open Society Foundation - just think of all the necessary resources that go into the public conferences, movement campaigns, public relations, personnel employment, co-hosting, space for rent and so on. I doubt he does it from his own wallet, but I'm sure his heart is in the right place, although, misguided; he's "un-apologetically Marxist" after all (his words).

EU Commission doesn't like J Yanis 2 much... And has SEVERELY hampered passing on information via latest laws on Tim Berners- Lee opposed Article 11 + 13 of so-,called 'copyrite law' allowing film 2 only b shared by wealthy corps (memes r allowed) so, crucially, a political commentator exposing hypocrisy, via film, of politicians displaying contradictory views 2 yrs apart (usually pre and post power) will have 2 pay a lot, risk fines and/or b unable 2 play such clips. I choose commentators, because of context, judicious choice of clips and, crucially, a decent amount of content surrounding such statements eg a 1 minute clip rarely enough. I don't take any commentators word 4 it either, nor do I have time 2 go through all clips a corporation chooses 2 show on-line...

Yeah true.

God spare me from that! Europe becoming a global backwater, time to emigrate.

Thank you! :D

@Maria M. For that to work, we need you as a worker too, don't sit on your hands.

Mission impossible 😂

Really? When he was describing my country (Poland) he clearly behaved as either having no clue about our internal political dynamics or disregarded that for rhetorical purposes as it was not matching his agenda at all.

Standardowy Login I grew up in Greece, England and the US and I live in Asia. I have read three of his books and everything he has written and said reflects exactly what I have seen and experienced. But I know very little about Poland.

Standardowy Login As far as I understand, his agenda is a transparent democracy with economic justice. What do you understand?

​@@zantecarroll4448 He is using Poland in his narrative of post-crisis nationalist wave sweeping all over Europe because of German imposed austerity. Yup, Law and Justice Party is nationalistic party and is mass producing international PR disasters. The only problem... we neither had serious crisis nor austerity in Poland. Its recent electoral success is result of usual political cycle (we had liberals for prior 8 years) and EU trying to dump us some Muslim refugees/migrants caused some extra outrage among masses.

​@@zantecarroll4448 Anyway for me impression was that his agenda is winning election in Greece (or possibly also in other Mediterranean countries too) while effectively promising his voters German money. Which is as good as Trump idea of promising his voters some Mexican money. (both may work perfectly fine in election campaign, but in implementation phase require some scapegoat)

What’s happening in Australia?

You don’t need Yanis, awesome as he is. You need your community. Help establish a progressive movement at home, chances are there’s already one there you can lend a helping hand with. It’s not easy but even with a good leader they aren’t going to be enough with out the groundwork of local communities and those local communities joining the other communities. I’m sure there’s an Australian leader that can take the role, but the support needs to be there for them to do so and that starts with you. We all need to take these causes upon ourselves, we can’t wait for others to do it for us

@@Sam._. We have politicians, on both sides of the fence with their heads so far up their arses the don't know what is happening. They are responding to those that support them financially and at their beck and call. Our economy is a giant bubble, ready to burst, we have no clue about what is happening with the environment despite many drought / flood events recently, despite our own agencies warnings. The muppets in Canberra ignore all expert advice - the governments own experts and they treat the populations' concerns with disdain. We are a disaster in the making Sam.

@@markhaus There is a group (that I belong to) called GetUp! who do some good things, but our government supports and in turn is supported by the Murdoch press and they invariably demonise them and we are dumb enough to buy the scare mongering. The polies have tried on several occasions to shut them down. We are a basket case in the making Marcus.

I live in the US, and yes I am slightly aware that Australian politics are similarly twisted like the US’s is, but right now an activist progressive politician Bernie Sanders is running. He’s not just clear the front runner for one of our two parties in the presidential election, but right now it looks like the right wing isn’t going to do very well when the final election happens. If this can be done in the US, one of the most disgustingly corrupt governments in the western world, then it can done in Australia.

This man cares about himself and no one else. His whole tactic was to not have one but try to build a brand around himself and capitalize it later on. He closed the banks and people would stand in the queue to withdraw with a limit of 40 euro but he "didn't think its appropriate for him as finance minister to do that". His whole interest was about portraying a personal brand image on TV wearing leather jackets, lifted jacket collars and bullshit people all over the board - when he wasn't trying to enforce a tutoring of his "ideas" on them. He is a moron, and one of gigantic proportions. Just like his ego. He has no idea about real life whatsoever because he enjoys living in his bubble where he's the center of the universe and God among peasants. He is completely ignorant, one with studies - a charming bullshitter for those who enjoy consuming such content. I admire you having such views. And I mean that, even though I find such views delusional.

i don't agree with you.... he has an ego.... yes he wears leather jackets and rides a bike....yes. he can appear and could be ignorant.... yes all that. ....but he was all that, way back then before this crisis, i remember well during his time that he spend at sydney university. same man....he didn't just change, just for that crisis to create the image that you are talking about. ....he was like that way beforehand, i can assure you. and he didn't write greek history and could never have known or predicted his fate with the dealings that he had and met. he never planned or ever wanted to become greece's financial minister anyhow. it was tsipras who approached him to become his financial minister, with the view and the plan between themselves to never yield or compromise greece's position...no matter what. the plan was never to borrow again to pay off greek debts, something which should have happened 30 years ago anyway. this was the plan which they both agreed and they both went into. he was then betrayed by tsipras because allegedly, tsipras was pressured by the european union and given the ultimatum to get rid of him (varoufakis) or suffer the closure of the greek banks. something the european union (not varoufakis) did anyway to the greek banks and something that varoufakis did not want. varoufakis could never had all this planned beforehand as you say only to act accordingly and create his brand....sorry but your story sounds somewhat delusional.

@@mikelast7918 If your argument is YaNNis was forced to become a minister then I urge him to resign from Greek parliament and go back to what he enjoyed doing (whatever that might be). No one becomes a minister by force. Put a camera in front of his face and he will give the best show. "the plan"... Neither him nor the other moron had any plan. Neither has ever worked for a living. I can have many brilliant ideas if I sit on my ass all day and have nothing to do. If I'm a sociopath I might as well develop a nice facade over time for people to fall for it easier. Especially Greeks who love a bullshitter (for example Andreas Papandreou) who says one thing and does another. This guy thinks he's better than everyone else. In my opinion, he's a douche.

@@bite-my-shinny-metal-ass .... you have missed my point because i never said he was forced into being a minister. in my argument as you describe it, i said that he was approached by tsipras, not forced by tsipras. so straight up, you are trying to colour up the conversation, to suit your argument.... the only force was used later and only by the european union upon on him, from the negotiations that he had with them, to either accept their ultimatum or close the banks. .... but thats history and one cant re write it....not even you. and so papandreou is a bull shitter...?....well he is a politician after all. perhaps you have perfect flying virgin angels flying over as politicians, where you come from...? its clear my friend, that you not only know much about greek politics, but also ignorant about world politics as a whole. it also sounds as if you have discovered that very rare politician who has never lied and did exactly what he/she promised. you are a lucky and special rare breed my friend, you and your truthful political friends who ever they are. you should buy a lottery ticket.

@@mikelast7918 I don't need a lottery ticket. I work for my own prosperity and that of my extended family. I don't leave things in luck, that's for the rest voters to do. My bullshit radar is quite sensitive and has warned many people I talked to about the disasters of their choices, before they voted for their "saviors". I don't hang out with politicians, nor I befriend them. But, aA pparently I pinched a nerve there with Papandreou :-) So you might as well be a former Pasok voter who later went along with Syriza and now with Baroufakis? Apparently one with studies and raised up in a upper class family, judging from the tone of your posts. Yes, I still do believe, and I used to even when it was happening, that A. Papandreou was the worst politician ever. But Tsipras now has taken the throne; and it was an easy task for him. I also believe that Baroufakis is highly toxic, regardless if some of his thoughts may make sense to some. He is pure toxic, in my humble opinion, and I am amazed how 30+ percent voted for a complete moron and 3+ percent voted for a non moron but highly toxic person. I guess I will continue having that area of Europe as exclusively recreational and avoid dealing with a big percentage of its inhabitants who ruin it for the rest of us. Tsipras is going to come back in power because he's shit like A. Papandreou. Just a lot worse. So tough luck if you're living there (although most times left rebels with such profile have millions in the bank)

None of your business.

Next suggested referendum: on Muslim refugees/migrants. :D [Come on, after a big economic crisis, it is a tradition to vote for some brown shirts]

@Anagha Shyham. Haven't you heard Yanis, saying we need a transformation? The 19th century style is in sync with the consciousness of that time, in people. We're moving toward a less violent, less destructive way of solving things now. Let the dead bury the dead and let the living live for the living. Yanis is alive! Nothing wrong with being a rebel without a cause, but does it pay off, helpful?

hohoho

@Johannes Bekker. Yes, I see why you share that link with lectures. Yanis and Rudolf Steiner would've enjoyed each other's company much, I believe.

If you put Mercurial in upper-case, then it makes it a noun (someone from Mercury). If you put mercurial in lower case, then it's an adjective (someone who is changeable, adaptable, dynamic, etc).

He will do great together with Trump. By all means, take him.

People want to know what practical solutions he offers, before they vote. He just told us.

You should listen again to his last point.

Oh please enough with this crap. There are 160 countries in the world that are out of the EU. Does that mean that they have to obey the USA and China ? International relationships don't work like that. Vietnam has the GDP the size of Romania and decided to ban Glyphosate last month. They were able to do it because they are a self-governing country. Many countries including France wanted to do the exact ame thing but couldn't because they had to obey the EU. The EU IS the problem not the solution.

@@philippegoogle1388 yes they do obey the USA and if they do not...some US air carrier will be sent close to the coast of that specific country....to force the country to obey......Do not also forget about secret task forces thatr can change the regime in a country..USA has done that already many times Just read the documents about MOssadegh 1953 and the involvemnet of CIA..........

I belive you need content to actually make a video. On that topic it would be quite an accomplishment.

He was elected on a mandate to stop irrational bailout policies that were economically idiotic and didn't benefit anyone, including Greece's creditors. He held firm but was betrayed by others in his party and he then resigned. Read up a bit on it. Yanis has been subject to a smear campaign, same as anyone else who dared question the received wisdom from the Eurogroup.

But not necessarily. There is no certain science when it comes to modern economic and financial policy, and since monopolists, oligarchs, big banks and financial speculators have not solved the problem it is time to try something different.

Yes

LOL maybe some day you'll be able to afford something from the European Union, then your whole village can celebrate.

This is at least a hope my friend. Hopefully we can achieve something and if not at least we will fail doing something with right and justice, rather than laying down and allowing the current situation to continue to create a large poverty ridden underclass.

That’s BS
