The fact Corporations treat our environment as an externality and we allow them to get away with that means we're all doomed. Solidarity = survival

Thank you, Yanis Varoufakis for everything you do to stand up against the ideological absolutism of the capitalists.

"Adults In The Room" is a terrific read! Free Julian Assange & Leonard Peltier!

This is Revolution is one of the best political shows out there right now. However, I am with Varoufakis on Star Trek being better than Star Wars.

A good human being! Love this man!

I urge anyone who is a staunch defender of capitalism to listen to this man, he is the arrow that pierces through the deep fog of deception.

Only tuned in for Yanis but am most pleasantly surprised. Almost forgot what real substance looks like.

Wow, opened my eyes. Thank you for helping me see the light.

I am with Varoufakis all the way, with one caveat, that we shouldn't implicitly or explicitly disrespect the efforts of labor activists, many of whom died to get the concessions described (ca 1932-91). Even if it wouldn't have happened without the competition of communism as a system, those people still did what they did, and did it for us. Love the forum, the hosts are fantastic, so on topic and well versed and extra hosty. Thanks for getting YV on!

I've seen several of Yanis' speeches and read a couple of his books. He is the best explainer I know of when it comes to the global economic system. Unfortunately, most people are not open to even considering his ideas, preferring instead to accept what corporate media tells them.

The most enlightening and informative program and discussion that I have ever witnessed and listen to! All three of you guys I’ve blown my mind and expanded it in ways I could never have imagined! Infinite gratitude and appreciation for your generous contribution to The successful continuation of our species and it’s attempt to be civilized......🕊🦋⚖️⏰❗️🖖❗️🖖❗️🖖❗️🖖

Top quality content. Thank you guys!

Capitalism can only exist as a positive force in society if corporations and monopolies are outlawed. Otherwise, financial power will always get consolidated at the very top. Love listening to Yanis speak!

Varoufakis is such an interesting man to listen to. Well read with a deep understanding of history.

excellent interview, really liked the questions.

"I always blame the Left" -- understood properly, this is a strategically crucial insight. So many of the struggles and paths taken by the leftist leaderships of the 20th and 21st century come down to a loss of nerve at the critical moment, with Tsipras being a relevant example. That loss of nerve is not fundamentally a matter of moral character, it is rooted in historical perspective and a sober yet robust confidence in the creative capacities of the working class. The balance of forces won't always be in our favor, so defeats are inevitable. But there have been many occasions where the opposite was the case, and the struggle was not for the ruling class to win, but for the working class to lose -- not through any fault of their own, but as a consequence of the failures of leadership. It is something of an ideological act of cowardice to say after the fact, "well, the defeat was overdetermined" and absolve oneself of any serious insight and responsibility. Lessons have to be learned, not to moralistically separate saints from sinners, but because objectively assessing historical experience is of strategic importance to the international working class.

This is a most awesome and informative interview guys... Thanks! Keep it up yo!

Once again, fantastic content comrades. Love the way ya let Yanus just talk through it. Would like to here Pascal's response to Yanis''s take on last question ... after I enjoy a lengthy conversation about Stars Trek and War.

I try to catch Yanis each time a recent interview appears. This was an excellent session! Trekkies of the world, unite! Thank you Jason and Pascal for great questions.

So happy to see yall speaking with Yanis. One thing to add to his point at the beginning about platforms like Alexa and Google maps extracting value without compensation--all these platforms and algorithms, e.g. Google translate, are harvesting & aggregating the labor of millions of real, human translators and writers and speakers and laborers that they cannot function without; they are all completely built and made better by our participation and data

This was a very fascinating interview. Great job guys.

Techno-feudalism = the WEF's goal.

Conservatives love to claim that we leftists "don't know basic economics"- in fact, the more I learn about economics & listen to the perspective of people like Varofaukis who are outside the narrow neoliberal orthodoxy, the more socialister I become.

First show I've caught. Good stuff. Edit: whoa.😮

That doom metal over Bolshevik footage is badass as fuck. I love it. 👍

5:28 Quote from Another Now: underlaying concerns of a dystopian future . 6:20 foregrounding science fiction 6:40 Indigenous Australian “Dreaming” had been evolving over 40,000 years, until European “Invasion”. It mythologised origin, explained language, organised country and ancestral families and laws over property and for governance. It wasn’t the imagining of things that didn’t exist but instead of existence itself as it was - until the cultural break. Reaccumulation is only 250 years young, we still have lots of time. Possibility is an inherent part of story itself. Science Fiction is the fictionalised possibilities of science infused with the everyday, and that dreaming is still with us and largely forms the dominant origin story since the birth of the industrial revolution. Science has been with all humans and possibly all human types forever and possibly is the early example of our abstract thinking ability and as such is a wonderful cladistic grouping, of similarity not differences. 8:50 Techno Feudalism 15:55 “50plus Year Counter Revolution context - brilliant. 28:00 Counter 34:17 The reality of Techno Feudalism for traditional Labour. 40:54 Wtf 😳 happened with Syriza!? 47:17 Star Wars vs Star Trek - who owns the universe debate - rescheduled for another Galaxy quadrant. 48:31 Q: The inability of the left today to capture the imagination of black and brown people in America. ( timing the conversation out is for my own records - it’s an important theory - it was nothing more than that) Indigenous Dreaming doesn’t fit neatly into western narratives, it very much part of the reason they have remain culturally seperate despite having lived along side each other for over two hundred years. There were over 500 different clan groups or 'nations' around the continent, many with distinctive cultures, beliefs and languages so which one are you talking about. Not all nations got along together just like today, some could easily said to be liberals, other conservatives and others again socialist and even Maoist’s.

Thank you all! Wonderful, pointed questions - substantial answers that address the questions! What a concept! Think it could catch on? Well-informed, articulate intelligence. I love it!

Absolutely on mark…I’ve worked in corporate America my whole life and it’s truly beyond anything I’ve ever seen.

Great questions n great Guest!

Great interview with Varoufakis. You provided him with interesting questions to answer and a welcoming atmosphere. I watch all of the Varoufakis interviews. This was a really good one.

Thank you gentlemen for bringing us this interesting interview.

Great interview with thoughtful questions. Glad to have found this channel!

That was one of the best interviews with YV that I have seen. Enlightening and accurate

I feel for Yanis when he said he's still recovering. Thank you Yanis for your vulnerability and continuing effort.

Thanks to you guys for creating yet another portal for enjoying and assimilating the thoughtfulness of Yanis Varoufakis. Do keep up the excellent work.

What a great interview & discussion! Thank you all.

Amazing how this vid has only gotten a little over 50K views. Everyone should be having this conversation. Thank you, Gentlemen.

Well this is an exciting connection! Great to find you here!!! Loved you before, and still, even more! So you and Max Alvarez??? Awesome

Phenomenal conversation!

Wow! That last answer from Yanis was so damn insightful and spot on about what causes divisions amongst people.

Unfortunately, the voting age adults in "the land of the free and home of the brave" are not Greeks. I would be profoundly shocked to hear any american say, "I have only a small pension but gladly risk it for (eg.making fundamental change toward building a real democracy)". NEVER! Here It would be the exact opposite: "I have only a small pension that I will not risk losing! ~and all my friends feel the same way I got bills to pay, a family to support and I don't want them to be living out in the street~homeless! No! Forget it!!!!" Write your congressman!

Just found your channel, enjoyed this very much Peace and love to all

Another great program - AND you still have the best intro anywhere. :)

Fan-f-n-tastic interview!!! Thank you for such an indepth conversation.

Wonderful and thought provoking show as always 🙏

Great content guys!! Yanis never dissapoints!!! Thx guys

I was looking for the latest interviews of Yanis, this is bit old interview but great as usual.

Love this guy. I also have been accused of having verbal diarrhea

Great interview! 👍

With capitalism there is no real incentive by an individual or group to ensure the quality of life of all society. ALL wealth is produced by ALL of society....it just using natural resources to produce goods and then creating services. There is absolutely no blue print of how to distribute the wealth produced....actually it's " last pig to the trough gets no slop"....in other words " greed is good, greed works ". When a society attemps to put any kind of restrictions on capitalism it's accused of being socialist. Capitalism has its place,,but so does society that produces all the wealth. " goods and services is all that really exists " money ( currency ) was created as a means to distribute. ....how's that working out for over 90% of society ( producers and services ) ?

LOVE YANIS!!! You guys are getting amazing guests. Yanis, Chris Hedges, amazing. Thank you!!

one thing is that the central banks in US and London are private, they are not state. then remember the supercomputors put inline with stock market? I think this is their way of siphoning out the 401k of the working folks retirement

excellent show, excellent guest and excellent questions prompting a great conversation---est stupendo.

The plot of the book sounds a lot like the plot from "Moon".

Wow you guys and you Yanis what a revealing and stimulating discussion. I bet the people in power and the politicians they control pls the corporate press would not have had a clue and could not possibly enter a discussion like this. Thank you!

Great questions, enjoyed the depth of the conversation.

Oooh thinking about moving to Mexico too!! How are you liking it? I've been all over the county and would have a hard times deciding were to move. Thanks Yanis! We need you voice much more at this moment!!

"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all."

Wonderful -- informative AND entertaining. Well done, all.

I'm surprised Mr. Varoufakis' suggestion concerning an organized Black Friday event, including a 1 day Amazon boycott, was sort of ignored due to time constraints. These are tactics which must be considered, we have so little leverage and will never gain any if we don't push back, even if we lose.

Varufakis is the voice we need to give sense to our struggle

Great Job as Well by This Is✊🏾 Revolution

That was amazing. I’m on my porch in the sun with a fire up here in Northern New Hampshire enjoying the shit out of this. I love you people.

Very interesting discussion ! Thank You !

What a great discussion. Thank you.

Great segment. Always enjoy Yanis's take on things

Always good to hear from Yanis.

Thank y'all, I saved this one👍✊

Great show! 👍

Awesome channel, keep up the good work

Really enjoyed that. Subscribed. 👍

Great Interview - As far as I know YV gives interviews in Greek or English only...

Yanis always brings it :)

Love the show amazing 🤩

I’m an oaklander too just found the show Thanks for your work

Great interview to all. I took away at least one thing during this episode, that half-measures avail us nothing.

Please consider putting subtitle names under "my friend in Miami." and the other fine cohost. You guys are great, and people need to match a name to your faces.

An absolute homerun...thanks to all involved!

So, what about the French Revolution of 1789 that swept away the Feudal Monarchy in France? That revolution was triggered by a volcano eruption event changing the weather enough to cause a food shortage. I think I can agree with Yanis that there is a steady state political equilibrium where a techno-feudal elite dominate our political economy until, a revolution of some kind sweeps it away.

Yanis is the man. One of the few people on this planet that can give you the truth. Thank you for your dedication to truth and humanity.

Totally vibing at 0:15 nothing says our times quite like Thick Sabbathian sludge!

A brilliant guest!………..👍🏽

Hooray Yanis, glad to see you again. When are you going to run for world President? You are the man to do it well

The question and answer after 48:40 are quite enlightening! (Yes the question too!)

Yes!! I'm all up for Star Trek v. Star Wars.

This was so good!

- Star Trek (pre-Abrams): Let's be logical and find a better way to resolve our problems than to polarize and kill each other. Set phasers to stun. Star Wars (pre and post-Abrams): Abandon rational thought, "trust your feelings," DO polarize (Light Side vs Dark Side). Light Saber in hand... Brain in neutral. -

As an American, I cheered when progressives won in Greece. I had hopes of a David and Goliath scenario and yes, I was hurt that they failed, but I definitely understand.

Looking foward to the Star Wars vs Star Trek discussion!

40:00 A long time ago on a now dead forum, I coined the expression "Consumer Unions". The bottom line is what gets the Capitalist's attention.

You're really playing Silver Hawks in the closing credits? Nice.

Well that was awesome, as usual. Can't wait for the Star Wars v. Star Trek debate to really demonstrate how incorrect Jason is on that one debate (sorry, but it's just true lol). You guys should interview Michael Hudson for his amazing understanding of the financial functionality of US empire, was the balance of payments accountant for Chase-Manhattan in the 70s and wrote Superimperialism which for me was eye-opening and made sense of...basically everything.

Great chat. Would love to see the discussion about Star Trek Liberal Communism vs Star Wars Feudalism. You should definitely tour Greece and maybe make a series.

Awesome discussion!

How did you not link the book in the notes?!

I love ya two as a tag team. My dudes.

Great, great show. Thanks guys.

Subscribed for the follow up sci-fi show 😅

Yanis is great. Awesome chat.

WOW! Knock out question at 41:47 by "my best Haitian friend in Miami" who by the way is a real genius and ask Yanus about the sadly failed efforts of left to fight raw capitalism in the bunkers of the highest offices in Greece. Yanus very humbly answers on how he tried his absolute best, and NO ONE CAN FAULT YANUS ONE BIT. What a wonderful, amazing human being Yanus is and may he live to the ripe healthy age of 120!
