With an intelligent interviewer who deeply listens. Cornel West scales up the view on the Gaza conflict and all conflicts to a spiritual level.
Engagements like this raises the consciousness of any who listen with ears and soul
I am going to write an article on this episode . It is vehemently powerful.
Disappointing to see Yanis take on another task when the opportunity for these two great minds to unite is available. Both great men, completely understandable but still disrespectful.
It’s a mental treat to listen to this man. So eloquent, powerful and inspiring.
VOTE FOR CORNEL WEST
Immense respect for this beautiful man in my heart … Dr Cornel West.
What a beautiful, soulful conversation...
Let us all try to emulate the spirit of this man.
He's incredible...a genius, a highly spiritually evolved man. GO CORNEL .....we need leaders like you everywhere ❤
I have admired Dr.West for many years. His intelligence, philosophical outlook and endless knowledge on important matters is just incredible! I watched a video of him speaking to a crowd at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem and now this video. I have to say, I STILL have no idea what his policies are. I think running president is a waste of time for such an incredible mind. He is capable of doing so much more for the human race. Nuff said.
Thank you for sharing this conversation with Dr Cornel West, my favorite intellectual.
The USA would be very fortunate to have him for our President. ❤️
Thank you for having Dr. Cornel West on.

Ah yeah the guy who said a society cant function without black people
Truly a genius look at Lagos Nigeria vs Seoul Korea 😂😂😂
America needs more candidates!
great and inspirational chap
"They authorize futures we cannot see." Much needed light in the darkness!
Thank you and Blessings, Gentlemen.
a brave man indeed with right in his heart. almost unbelievable what's happening in palestine, almost.
Cornel is a true world treasure. He makes life worth living and fighting for. What a marvellous interview.
He should have been on the presidential debate
Waste of his and everyone else's time. It was just a propaganda wash for the old liberal vs right wing game. No point in watching.
This man has my vote, working people of the world must back this man if we wish for justice against the evil acts of the empires.
I think This episode, more than any other, has the eye of the storm in Proper perspective...
Great! Thank you.

DR. CORNEL WEST 2024 for humanity sake #POTUS
Yes! That is what I see, and put in my comments. I follow Dr. West because how he is now is what he has been always. America and the world desperately need a mind like his running not only this beautiful country and his people but also contributing to uplift how the nations coexist
My spiritual leader
Inspiring stuff. Fantastic.
What a big hearted and Wise man❤❤ someone decent in the realm of politics❤
Thank you for the likes Cornel Weat in this World 🙏🏼 ❤
Wisdom, compassion and eloquence. How many ways do I love this man? ❤❤❤️ A true legend. Thank you for having him on🔥🙏✌️🇸🇩
Yes, bring on more clean clear voices speaking truth to power.
“Don’t be surprised by evil, don’t be paralyzed by despair.”- Cornel West
What an orator! If your average American has any sense, they would vote for this man, my only worry would be that the state itself will damage this beautiful human being, PEACE FOR ALL!
Ya, vote 3rd party regardless-but from a strategic point of view Jill Stein for Greens will be on all ballots it seems and has political currency. Wish Cornel had stuck it out in the Greens. He had Jill’s endorsement and a huge historical platform-that was the ticket. Now we are splitting the power of the “alternative challenge to corporate empire” vote.
@@nightoftheworld Agree, shame, stay strong!
Nobody would (nor should) vote for this man. Because he's completely unserious. DueDissidence channel has covered his rally in NYC, nobody showed up, like not even 100 people. Remarkably, almost none of them black.
1)His campaign manager Peter Daou was (by all accounts) a deep state operative who dropped out late in the game.
2)He self-sabotaged by dropping from the Green party ticket due to a (IMO) petty ideological difference. Now he has no meaningful ballot access, has no organization behind him, and is a mockery of the left.
Too bad our winner-take-all system won't even allow that happen...
Beautiful spirit
Love brother Cornel West, who so eloquently speaks from the heart and shines like a soulful human spotlight.
First discovered Cornel West from a framed portrait in a cafe in Berlin, 2016. His photo was accompanied by a framed portrait of Julian Assange and Robert Dinero and few other famous faces. The owner of the cafe who if recall was Russian, asked me, “What do you think connects all these people represented in the portraits?” He replied, “Humour”. Humour is love in communicative action.
“Peace”

Adolphe Sax began to make his own instruments at an early age, entering two of his flutes and a clarinet into a competition at the age of 15. He subsequently studied performance on those two instruments as well as voice at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.[4][5]
Sax faced many brushes with death. As a child, he once fell from a height of three floors, hit his head on a stone and was believed dead. At the age of three, he drank a bowl full of acidic water, mistaking it for milk,[6] and later swallowed a pin. He received serious burns from a gunpowder explosion and once fell onto a hot cast-iron frying pan, burning his side. Several times he avoided accidental poisoning and asphyxiation from sleeping in a room where varnished furniture was drying. Another time young Sax was struck on the head by a cobblestone and fell into a river, almost dying.[7]
His mother once said that "he's a child condemned to misfortune; he won't live". His neighbors called him "little Sax, the ghost".[7]

Cornell West synthesis blend of Buddha and Christosh.
The love and victory in suffering.
I believe you are both right, that there needs to be more spirituality in Politics. It would be good to hear Yanis' thoughts on spirituality/morality and politics - I feel like this is something he dodges. (still love him though;)
Love supreme
Thank you Cornel I just listened to John Coltrane Equinox..The musicianship is wonderful. The piano soloing reminds me of John Paul Jones's playing on no quarter. I didn't know what Equinox ment I read the notes. Balance. I'll say this the English Bro here and myself love you. In my opinion your the Man Malcolm and Martin would agree I do believe.. God bless You Cornel and your PEOPLE ❤ Maori 🚼 Jeebus 😊🖐️

Gotta love a presidential candidate who can talk up art and art-makers so divinely! 🧡💥🧡🔥Thanks, Raoul, for inviting Bro' West on to spin his magic! ...And thanks for yr own magic, too!🌷
"artists authorize futures we cannot see..."
Ohhh, the poetry!!!
Uplifting veil lifting weight lifting. Dog dignity cat dignity - made me happy and wiser
Cornel West is an amazing spiritual intellectual man and to think that he doesn't need to run for President. There is nothing for him to gain out of being attacked for trying to put the needs of the suffering People before his own. Not even Jill Stein has the type individual inspiring strength that Cornel West has and she knows it. This is much more than a color of a party, this is about putting the needs of the people before corporate bought political parties. We need Cornel West for President in 2024 because Progressives never give up,never surrender.
Go West!!!
This posted video came up yesterday for a few minutes then stopped.
Vote for Cornell !!
Yanis really should have showed up.
Why is Cornel rocking back n forth like that??😮😮
Maybe a coping mechanism. Maybe he just does that 🤷
Lots of us do that - blues people. People who come out of the rhythmic, soulful traditions of jazz, of the Black church and African American improvisational culture. You move with the energy created in the space.
We need a more moral and ethical public. The politicians come from the public - its cultures. The Right talks all the time of being in a culture war. The political Left rarely if ever talks about the values/culture Liberalism is rooted in. The Right speaks of the culture of Western civilization, religious and family values, but the Left don't say much about the relationship between family values and socialist/safety net policies. They speak little about the individual's social/civic responsibilities other than to ask them to vote. That is a fundamental reason for our lack of greater policy gains in recent decades.
Brilliant...those who fear spirituality are the cowards...many run this world..stuck on the left hemisphere of the brain ..breathe, observe and liberate ..to realize our oneness with nature...
Great interview guys.
Something that did irritate me a bit though was brother Cornell's answer to the "what can we do about it question?"
For thousands of years people treated getting along harmoniously and settling tribal differences as a priority. There are actually methods of dialogue and other means of building interconnection. They just take work and making it a priority.
This is not to say that either brothers Raoul or Cornell would argue with this sentiment, I just think it needs to be said. Too many progressives are just waiting for the other side to realise how intrinsically wrong they are.
On this front can recommend a book called Treading Lightly. It busts a myth that Aboriginal Australians only had to work a few hours a day. They were working a lot more than that, but the work was about social connectivity. Check it out!
Have you considered stopping your own campaign, after the debate debacle, and voicing support for Biden to step down so that Senator Warnok can serve as his replacement?
Why is Yanis not talking with Dr. West?
The description says:
-Yanis Varoufakis was unable to participate in this episode due to last minute work commitments.
@@fmz6911 Ok, I did not take a look at the description. My mistake. However, I still would like to see a conversation between these two. It is important.
@@andreselectrico It's not important because West's campaign has no support. You can read my other comment under this video where I go into details explaining why people don't have faith in his campaign.
@@kane_lives It is true that he has no chance. But we all knew that from the very beginning of his campaign. On the other hand, Yanis's movement does not score very high in the polls either, but we still believe it is important to listen to him.
This is important for other reasons, namely for the sake of learning. Yanis is fond of disagreeing with fellow leftists, which I think is important. For me, it is about seeing what kind of disagreement Yanis might have with Cornel.
MR. WEST the ONLY logical choice! #NOTAPAIDPUPPET #FREEPALESTINE
Its interesting to me that he uses white supremacy as the force behind the vision that palestinian babies arent seen as being of the same value as Israeli babies. Most jews do not consider themselves white. It often makes me wonder why people arent blaming Jewish supremacy seeing as Dr. West talked about how power and money is leading the charge of genocide around the world. For an example of how Jewish Supremacy is effective not just around the world, but also in America, look no further than AIPAC. Im curious if the Dr considers AIPAC a form of white supremacy.
Cornetheray.
Not too sure if I can agree with Cornel West, I certainly don't think that mankind is getting weaker.
This is RIDICULOUS, in part because these candidates aren't VIABLE (It takes serious, years- long organization to have even a "seat at the table.") AND WE HAVE A FAR SUPERIOR, VIABLE CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, ANYWAY!!!
"Dismantle the US Empire and use the resources saved to address domestic needs." JILL STEIN
Ya, Cornel’s is a great philosopher and his takes on violence of empire, death and love are great. But the super-ballot was Cornel on Greens-now we are splitting power of conscientious anti-empire/prosocial vote between the two.
This just gets worse and worse. Cornel West just another obscurantist.....
Another great video. He is such a good man. I have adored him for years. Extremely talented and cares about people, speaking out against all injustices and wrong doings.
Thank you. 🪷
Too good to be president 🤔
Thanks Bro you get it love you my Friend Maori 🚼 Jeebus 😊🖐️
😊❤️🕊
Get Claudia De La Cruz. Way better candidate than this grifter.
Cornel is a grifter just how?
Here's your generic Cornel West interview. First you call the interviewer " My dear brother" or
"My dear sister", then you say
" neo fascism and
neo liberalism" a bunch of times,then you pretend to care about the Palestinians for a couple minutes, and of course you have to make sure that everybody sees the John Coltrane album covers you have hanging on the wall.
Do you know that Cornel West owes over half a million dollars in unpaid taxes and child support?
@@vivalaleta Because he is not seriously running. You can read my other comment under this video where I go into details explaining why people don't have faith in his campaign.
Claudia de la Cruz is nothing more than a Communist posing as a Progressive. There is nothing Socialized Democracy about her and coming from a Communist country I can tell you there is nothing morally right about The practice of Communism. Claudia de la Cruz is nothing more than a Communist sellout.
@@kane_lives The only thing in our lives still in our control is how we respond to our consciences. If my choice is between a marginalized man of lofty words demanding a humane existence for all, a vile proponent of fascism and cruelty, and a corporate fluffer and enthusiastic supporter of genocide, my conscience demands I choose the one who which to it.
