How should we move beyond the left and right when talking politics? Let us know in the comments below!

We could begin by defining, absolutely, the meaning of "Left" and "Right" - and don't assume that I am just an ignoramus for saying this. The terms left and right as reference to political spheres are very generalized. Perhaps we should drop these terms absolutely.
@@ahagamama 100%. The terms are so fluid now as to be meaningless.
this was easily one of the most informative + inspiring things I've ever seen, I've just finished watching it for the 2nd time, and I'm really excited to now get the book, Yanis' references to the late 1700s are a terribly relevant example from recent-ish history, so powerful to think we may be on the brink of undoing the current cloud-shackles -
I'm really grateful to be able to have access to the thoughts of incredible thinkers around history/economics/revolutionary ideas like this, it's really exciting to think we're potentially only one small revolution away from a far more equitable social situation, given how "globalised" the world asserts to being... it really sounds possible that enough people can agree around the world.. that we don't want to be cloud serfs, maybe more that we want to have a share of the profits being sourced from technological growth.
no longer should the risks be socialised with profits privatised, the more people that learn this key human right the better I think. thank you yanis, pls i rly hope that people see the sense in this information..
i don' t get the argument with risk is being socialized and profits privatized. i founded a company a few years ago. i gave up my very best years in life. i had 0 support, still enlisted at university therefore struggling from double financial pressure. i carried 100% risk, guess who takes 1/3 of the wealth i produce right now??
Just 7 minutes in and the moderator is - through his questions- placing his own opinions into the debate. It’s clear who he agrees with, and who he disagrees with. For example in his interview with Fiona Hill, he clearly says multiple times, “ right, right, correct “. If we are going to rise above left versus right, please get a moderator who asks hard questions to everyone and keeps his own opinions to himself.
Capitalism seeks to constantly grow on a finite planet. It's forced to consume itself presently.
Capitalists think they are smarter than entropy….😬
Please do a video with Jeffrey Sachs
Dang I had to watch it twice!
Regarding the last debate there. I think it is important point to bring out that we should ask ourselves why we have a 8 hour limit of work per day, and why we do not allow children to work (but if you watch something like Peaky Blinders, you'll see child laborers). This is very personal as it you live it every day. Do you think that the business owners decided such 8 hours limit? I think one must know sooner or later. Some of us are fine being ignorant about it, maybe you are not in a good surplus situation to even give attention to it - and that is fine. But I believe sooner or later, you will want to at least have an idea as to why.
Never thought I'd see Yanis Varoufakis and John Redwood in the same debate 😂😂😂
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very informative content cheers Frank
Blaming Russia alone for the invasion is to ignore all that came before it.
Focusing only on what came before ignores russian agency, or rather the agency lacking in their citizens all consumed by Putin.
That journalist is naive and DUMB. She doesnt understand her media collegues are LIARS and have no moral authority. NOTHING is BLACK AND WHITE. Pls grow up.
Glad people are not as dumb as media sheeps
It seems you haven’t looked at your own statement. 🤔 Russia has been in the power projection and empire building business since Peter the Great in the 1700’s. Look at how much territory they’ve acquired, it’s mind boggling really. And they’ve been continuously fighting to preserve or expand their grip on territory throughout the 1800’s, as exemplified through the Crimean War. I think that war was a big turning point people miss, as they lost control of Crimea then. They’re on a never ending quest for power and dominance and until the world acknowledges that and figures out how to deal with it, they’ll just keep warring wherever possible.
@@rhmendelson Omg, are you for real? And the US has just been twiddling its thumbs? Countries aren't entities with human traits. No country is all this or that but the US has been perpetrating regime change and worse all over the globe. Open your eyes!
non-verbal communication reveals much here. I've easily observed sneers to ideas that don't align with the listeners views. This says much more about the sneer-er than it does the speaker. It suggests they are profoundly identified with their views - their "right-ness". What if you opened your heart a little to receive a difference of opinion. Until people can' overcome their own inner-Gestalt around their ego being challenged...on both sides of the political spectrum - until there's a bit of humility arrived at here in relation to what they think they know...welll, good luck with all that, I guess. Thanks for this notion, appreciate the channel.
Exactly. I currently believe pride or lack of humility is the root cause of all our 'problems'. If we all had utmost humility, our minds would be open enough to actually listen to each other and more rapidly inter-think, to co-develop solutions that exist latently within all our minds. Dogma is destroying us. But I think we can overcome this if we integrate our minds (augmented intelligence), where we could e.g. mediate communication via an AI interface to translate between worldviews, and extract the pure thought substance necessary to mould into solutions.
21:48 what is she grinning at while he's speaking? One would think solutions begin when everyone stops acting like children.
when reactionaries bring "gender ideology" as a talking point to a serious discussion its not a serious discussion anymore. Its a political rant@@Daimo83
Professor Wolff is a tremendously talented teacher.
High standard debate, very persuasive too.
Man and institution are a given, both need to grow in order to live better than before, albiet a few times it can mean great restraint too. Fair and ethical capitalists suggest reform has been sufficient to address crises, we are in best shape ever in human history. The left, radical and non radical, see giant systems that have underlived true human potential. Better human wants an equivalent better system, it is sometimes the system that lifts up the average man, it is the better man that lifts up an ailing system.
Is UBI a tenable improvement for both left and right? and would it be fair and profitable to compensate citizens for upholding private property even when they might otherwise do better under basic darwinism?
Richard Woolf is great!
Aaron come to Brazil please
So beyond left and right basically means more of the right!
lets make all narratives appear the same...
Professor Wolff seems to be the only one who knows what he is talking about.
If Fiona Hill is a foreign affair specialist than I might aswell call myself Mickey Mouse! It is a small world after all!
Hi Mickey!
What's the real name of the Game in this World.
Well, Svitlana, your pipe dream is interesting but Donbass and Crimea people need no ukrainian language or Ukraine but they are perfectly fine with functioning Crimea bridge
Wow the hosts were terrible.
Richard Wolff I love u
What is all about is a war between the old model of wealthy people and the big gigants of cloud and everything else is a theater with us as viewers and victims
10:52 since everything goes through central bank and bankers invent too many ways to pay themselves- why don’t we have one global currency? Digital.
Madam, are you a SOCIALIST? 🤔
@@TheWorldTeacherSir, I am a Marxist. Do you have an argument?
Svetlana has posted in her enrolment papers presumably. Thought not.
Ukraine has missed the opportunity to negotiate with Russia back in 2022 when they still retained their territory. At this point in the conflict Ukraine must negotiate on Russian terms. Ukraine with western help and advice lost the war and losers don't have a say at the negotiating table. The world is going through a great transformation and Ukraine picked the short end.
I began to feel uneasy when the US and Ukraine were the only two countries that voted against a United Nations plenary to ban the glorification and practise of Nazism and racism (UN GA 12396). Zelensky missed a trick. He should have relaxed both the US and Russia and remained firmly neutral, dealt with internal problems, and acted as a bridge across Eurasia, and the country could have prospered. Unfortunately he hasn't the talent and has been cajoled into this mess by all-sorts. Any reconstruction will come at a price for the ordinary Ukranian; full privatisation, wage and pension caps, higher fuel prices. I hope they can turn it around.
Unequal as they could be , they knew they wanted it all.I will teach you , to be just , after punishment.
Left and right has lost all meaning. It's a "uniparty" designed to protect it's class interests.
It's a theatrical production designed to convince people that they have a stake in the process.
The basics of life MUST be guaranteed or the planet will be destroyed

13:35: ⚖ Concerns about historical and modern societies being maximally unequal, with a pessimistic view on the future.

Recap by Tammy AI
I noticed that apart from Fiona Hill, most of the speakers were men.
No, actually if u try to challenge Brexit in academia, or arts funding bodies u get stonewall. All official bodies are terrified to talk about Brexit. Especially the downsides.
Ότι είναι σωστο και δίκαιο για τούς λαούς, όχι για εσάς....!!!😂
His legs are g crossed AF @10:48
Fiona articulation ✅ content and actual meaning ❌
I think they hugely underestimate the diversity of cultures around the world in the pre-modern era with respect to inequality and freedom. Hell, even within the small snapshot of classical Greece there are a whole range of political arrangements just on the mainland.
If only 20% of liberals have this view how is 80% not succeeding 🦖🦕🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
What if the doctor is sketchy, lazy or just a managed care doctor- they probably only make $25 an hr anyway - minimum Monday healthcare 😂 don’t get sick
Komrade Yanis !!!! This bright spark also recently denied Oct 7th.
Marx, Engels and Lenin solved these issues. What are you talking about ? all of YOU.
It would be nice to see a far right wing fellow on this panel if you're going to debate this topic
Any good candidate to mind?
@@RobinBobbin555 Alexander Dugan would be pretty good. Speak seven languages, historian philosopher political scientist..... ECT
@@waltershumer4211 You forgot fascist :)
@@waltershumer4211 Well, first of all, it's Dugin. And I wouldn't call him a far-right because he's traditionalist. We can speak of his "Fourth Way" as reinvention of fascism but that's discussionable.
@@oscarwilliams1738 Reinventor of fascism. But officially he's traditionalist.
Omg. Capitalists theorizing about middle ages. Communism anyone?
Richard Wolf is so wrong it’s laughable
First of all, Marxism VS Capitalism wow, to be a Marxist only is to be a Capitalist, you are confusing people.
Ukraineshould not enter NATO.
No reason for Russia to invade Europe.
Ukraine will a lot of benefit to stay neutral.Zelensky has made big mistake.
Russia took Crimea because US ships were stationed in Odessa. Russia negotiated in Istanbul and to show goodwill the army retreated from Kiew. The result was Ukraine except Crimea stays neutral. After empty promises from the west 100000s Ukraineans are dead. The Ukraine should better ask advice in Poland. Before WW2 the then British Empire made empty promises
The argument at the beginning is just stunning, absolute insanity and scary to witness. Russia had been calling for negotiations for 2 years, as were many of us in the west, and we were told by these very pro Ukraine war people that it was unacceptable! That is was "putin apologists" or Chamberlin style "appeasement." They acted like it was an actual thought crime to even suggest it, when the brightest among us knew that it would in fact only be going downhill for Ukraine and they were only going to get in a weaker and weaker negotiationing position from that point. Ridiculous to say "oh the Russians won't negotiate" - it was the slava Ukraine lot that were the ones against negotiations! And that mindset of not taking responsibility, not seeing how our "sides" actions and reactions are part of the problem, is the biggest danger in this war and one of the main causes for all this utterly pointless bloodshed
Svitlana has no clue, unfortunately (let alone the panelist). You still do not see that US-NATO was fighting a proxy war where the ukranians were the less important assets.
That's not a both sides, that is agressor and victim
I have so far never heard Richard Wolff say anything intelligent. Perhaps next time?
One of the most poorly edited & conceived videos I've seen in a long time. What's the point? Oh....it's in the pinned comment: "To watch more big names talk..." I don't care about *big names*, I care about actual exchange of ideas, & people listening to each other, which are singularly lacking here despite the considerable knowledge of the participants. It's not the participants' fault, it's all in the hare-brained editing.
Wolfe is incapable of putting a cogent argument together.
He’s the dumbest intellectual I know.
that chick is certainly blonde.
