- On Friday, January 27, 2023, DiEM25 co-founder and MERA25 leader Yanis Varoufakis gave a speech at the Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order, about the need for a new Non-Aligned Movement to "end the legalised robbery of people and Earth fuelling climate catastrophe."
The co-founder of DiEM25 was in Cuba on an official visit upon an invitation from the Havana government and a key topic of discussion on his trip was the creation of a New Non-Aligned Movement that will aim for a New International Economic Order.

This may not have hundreds of millions of views, but its one of the most important speeches of the modern time that has been given. Bravo, comrade Varoufakis!
Hmmm
😊😊
I believe this will either go down in history as one of the most important speeches ever given or be totally buried, so nobody may find it, as capital still reigns over the post-apocalyptic wasteland. I implore all comrades download it and distribute it.
Discern demagoguery, PLEASE....
@@ThewonderingmindsYou again? Say something. Or say nothing, cynic. PLEASE!
If you’ve got a specific claim to make, by all means please share it. Many of us would no doubt like to read it, since we’re here in an earnest pursuit of information and insight to remedy today’s clearly disintegrating western capitalist democracies.
Otherwise we should reflect on the fact that cynicism … a very common point of view quite encouraged by our ruling class in the west’s capitalist democracies today … cannot abide hearing anyone express earnest beliefs with conviction, and a firm declaration for a cause, without defaulting to belittling anyone who speaks in this way. But by doing so the cynic merely reveals a shadowy reflection of their own cynicism and lack of belief and hopelessness in everyone else. It’s not good enough. Specific claims, facts, arguments. Or say nothing, Kynikos.
By trusting no one the cynic can be no one’s friend and no one can abide them. The powerful will tolerate and encourage them though, since their transactional nature and tendency to viciousness (Kynikos … dog-like) is useful in the maintenance of existing power.
We need less cynics and cynicism. Not more. It’s a misanthropic philosophy too common historically when one small minority has grabbed too much power and wealth in a society.
What a speech 👍
The Greek vote of "No More!" in 2015 was an astounding democratic moment (against all "advice" from media), and Varoufakis at least walked out rather than betray the people. If Greece had held on, they would have won (as Schaubel told YV privately later), and Greece would be 1000% better off already. All power to the international workers' movement with Diem25.
"international workers"
as if the working class people from Italy give a shit about workers in Pakistan or Brazil. or Greek working class gives a shit about Turkish working class.
this is the nonsense about socialism and why fascism/nazism from an economic standpoint makes more sense to implement in a country.
a pro-workers government in a country should ONLY care about the workers of its country. nothing else.
economics isn't the only thing that matters anyways. local culture and traditions are also important in a county's society. it is part of a country's identity and heritage.
@@LevisH21 Too bad you're so poorly informed about international worker cooperations. Must be why you're wallowing in fascist fantasies and believe workers have no common interests across borders: I doubt your fantasy features you near/at the bottom of slaves and cannon fodder. Well, if business can make German union workers "compete" with Chinese wage-slaves in a race to the bottom, the opposite force of global cooperation can/must act too. Welcome to Diem25.
@@37Dionysos good luck your socialist fantasies as well.
it also is so hilarious that supposed socialist countries of the world like China and Vietnam have willingly abandoned socialism in order to become essentially state capitalist countries.
and you should also explain why Cuba which is another socialist country trades goods/services with capitalist countries.
this should have been a blasphemy for a serious socialist to even consider doing business with capitalist countries.
it's complete hypocrisy.
just like how a conservative politician might say he is against gay marriage or gay rights but is hilariously cought himself having sex with a gay prostitute in some hotel room in Budapest or Prague.
lol 🤣
@@LevisH21 Lots of socialist countries trade with capitalists, many are threatened like Cuba or caused to crash as in Central/South America due to CIA arm-twisting (so they must be a "threat" to somebody), and both China nor Vietnam retain all kinds of features that Western fascists call socialist. Now you can see how the cartoons that feed you actually lead you away from reality. What's that tell ya? Enjoy your minimum wage and your weekend: thank a socialist for both.
@@37Dionysos you should bloody thank me because I pay taxes in order for lazy fucks like yourself to live on welfare checks like a parasite.
I just love the fact you accuse me of somehow supporting the CIA.
and hilarious that the CIA is the boogyman of all socialists when the KGB or any other socialist secret service organization have done just as many crimes against humanity as the CIA.
try harder
Great lecture! Yanis THANK YOU!

Truly we need it.
I completely agree with the Athens Declaration: no more wars in the world! And I support and share the admiration for Cuban people.
Solidarity from this Scot. With work it will be Solidarity from Scotland.
Great Yanis, thank you for being in Cuba, my country. A world free of the tirany of capital, a world without wars of pillage and imperialism, were globalization leads to happier and more expansive lives rather than anxiety and precariousness. With people and environment first. It's not a dream, and it it is indeed a dream, it's the dream. Hasta la victoria siempre
put so elegantly, concisely, and brilliantly by yanis once again ... twer it all were so simple, as the vision is clear
Greetings to our comrades in Cuba, Solidarity from Greece!!!
Thanks Yanis, much appreciated.
Full support!
Viva cuba.
Viva indeed, and down with its autocratic, antidemocratic, repressive regime.
Cuba is a totalitarian regime which oppresses their citizens
Si!
Anyone who fights for Julian Assange like yanis does is a true champion. Thank you
Cuba knows what's like to be target of imperialism but still survive and thrive many decades later.
Kudos to Cuba for this program!
Yet millions leave yearly there no middle class under communism
How would you define a thriving country if Cuba is among them?
@@aarnehalen1686less infant mortality than the richest country on earth
@@ver4135 LMAO
Cuba. Where surgeons literally moonlight as taxi drivers because they make more money as taxi drivers than performing surgery. Cuba. Where experienced physicians make $80 per month. Cuba. Where physicians who practice abroad have to send their foreign earnings BACK to the Cuban government - even when not in their home country, they can't retain the wealth they earn. There’s a Cuban saying: “We live like poor people, but we die like rich people.” Well, in a country where you don't have political freedom or cars (per capita car ownership per 1000 people in Cuba: 67; per capita car ownership per 1000 people in USA: 908), of course you're going to be more proud of how you get to DIE than how you get to live.
"Using the ratios found for other countries, corrections were proposed to the statistics [infant mortality] published by the Cuban government: instead of 5.79 per 1000 births, the rate stands between 7.45 and 11.16 per 1000 births."

What happened? He mentioned making Amazon pay and the video skipped? Excellent speech otherwise. Thank you Yanis. Proud to support Diem25
I noticed that too. Worrying...🤔
What time did this happen?

@@conallmorrison2379 I wondered if Yanis had been "edited" for some reason...🤨
I am glad that thereis Cuba in this world! We all should help keeping her independent! 💪✊♥️
Long live Cuba , and this lecture by yanks is brilliant ✊✊✊❤️
Viva Cuba hoy y siempre!
i founded a "non-aligned" human rights movement 20 years ago. its called "equalism." equalism rejects the fascism, elitism, delusions, extremism, corruption, insanity and the corporate technological police-state now embraced by the global ruling elite on BOTH SIDES!
but guess what? although i've suffeciently notified the ruling elite on the left and right of this new philosophy i've been completely ignored and margainalized by the fascist leaders now in control of BOTH SIDES! go figure. welcome to your future as the slaves to your global corporate masters.

Cuba is an authoritarian regime. Let’s not romanticize either
This was good...

Yanis & Noam are some of my hero's, however in my environment it's difficult to even talk about them.
I loved Yanis's comment about new international economic movements that should not include theocratic regimes. It should not tolerate any abuse of human rights by governments that just because of their anti-imperialist frontage for any other reasons contrary to non-aligned movements such as having a backwards religious ideology (Iran) or for competition (Russia). As I understood, The ultimate movement's goal stands for fair economic interactions that benefit the masses and eventually end human suffering where it is a lifetime struggle for the majority of society to provide the basic necessities and seek security, a peaceful place to live and be free from warmongers and exploitations of the large cooperations.
should it be taken as a direct message to the cuban regime then? I think it should, if he’s consequent with what he says
@@dago87able What Cuban regime? The autocratic US-backed Cuban regime was banished to Florida decades ago..

He is a truly AWAKENED one. He knows the INSIDES of what is really going on behind the curtains of the many governments and the many connected societies of the governments. He is proposing a solution to the oncoming problem.
Oh wow! Yanis always breaks thing down the way they are.
Wonderull, impeccable! We must try the same in Brussels, Strassburg, with an new alliance with Nouveau Front Populaire.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER VAROFAKIS I HOPE AND PRAY FOR GOD FUTRE
Excellent explanation of the current global economic system.
Great speech, greetings from the Netherlands!
Great speech but you moved to Netherlands for work when he closed the banks in Greece right? Haha
@@sbarros78 I moved to the Netherlands because the economic crisis fucked Spain in the ass and because my mother is from there. I don't know what you're tryng to insinuate
@@sbarros78 Because ECB closed the banks off Greece and there is a lawsuit against it.
But you are pusi and you have not DNA of Greeks ancient mtfks (leonidas, kolokotronis) etc.

@@sbarros78 Are you talking about the Europeans and what Great Britain did to Greece? Janis Varoufakis was the ex finance minister in that time. He didn't want to sign the bail out The troika is a term used to refer to the single decision group created by three entities, the European Commission (EC), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It was formed in the aftermath of the European debt crisis and this actually European Union in disguised as an ad hoc authority with a mandate to manage the bailouts of Cyprus, Greece, Ireland and Portugal, in the aftermath of their prospective insolvency caused by the world financial crisis of 2007-2008. Janis Varoufakis couldn't fight along with the big bullies from the West.
Thanks for sharing!
Clown words are free.
BRICS has a potential for becoming just what brother @YanisVaroufakis is promoting.
"the exodus of dollars was the foundation of American hegemony" at 9:35 needs to be learned and memorized
Yanis is brilliant, courageous and he has a uncanny way of explaining to the layman how the entire Neoliberal(soon to be economic nationalism) system works. His historical perspective is nuanced, technical and thorough. bless his heart.
The people with power be economic or military won’t give it up for any notion of greater good or progressive humanity.
YES!!!!!!! WITH THIS!!!!!!
With everything I've seen I no longer trust politicians. I sincerely hope he is honest. And if he is, I hope his intelligence will get many people on his side. Because the lobbies that control the governments will not let any good intending leader to rise. They have their own puppets for that.
Thank you Yanis.
Total support YES, he has said it as it is for years, I personally would like him as my county's Prime Minister. But I fear for his life,

You be careful what you wish for, before even issuing an entrance visa check up on his "achievements" as Greeces PM (well know facts will make You fear for your life).
@@hussar6347 He has never been Greece's Prime Minister. He was a one-time finance minister. You're talking horseshit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis
@@9UaYXxB After 40 years in Greece, believe Me, I know perfectly well that He was a finance minister! (mistake occurred because I was responding to Ricky Wallace's "wishes"... Varufakis becoming Prime Minister in his country (God forbids!!!). Unfortunately, spotting this obvious mistake was too complicated for You. Anyway, just remember how lucky Greeks were, He was just a "one-time" finance minister in an ultimately destructive, government of... "first-time lefties"(and never again!!!).In Greece, we call him a BS Master, He cost our economy over 100 billion euros (but if you check up on His IRS from the last few years, well He is laughing all the way to the bank! - crisis was very profitable for Him). Hopefully, this "champagne"-neo-commie, did not manage to brainwash you, with this word salad!!! Elections are coming and DIEM 25 will be kicked out of the parliament forever!
Ever a clear and wise thinker, Yanis succinctly describes the way to the salvation of our species.
Anyone curious about the global financial system needs to start with this video.
The Non-Aligned Movement never ended for India, but thanks, Yanis.
non aligned but aligned to russkie lol

@@fatalmokrane they are both as stupid as the idiot using them with a straight face.
Great one this is really eyes openers 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏.
It makes sense that a man from Greece would give the best speech ever in favor of Democracy. I listened carefully to Yanis and he's absolutely right and sound in his arguments. The world regime called "financialized global capitalists" is wreckless and insane. Cloud capital? Workers shareholders at their place of employment? Sounds good to me!
Very interesting, thanks for uploading, we need to accompany economic change with a reconciliation between humanity and nature.
Thankyou.
A great mind like yanis varoufakis
Comes want once on a century
Great innovative ideas
And what a shame how the international audience seems to understand him much more than then Greek... I am so embarrassed by many of my fellow compatriots
This is the most sensible and powerful political speech I've heard since… I don't know when. Thank you Yanis. "One person, one share, one vote." is the only righteous way to structure companies/corporations. It's absolutely obvious to me.
Sir Varoufakis, I really hope you people will be able to help Cuba as Cuba has been punished for many decades by the west.

Wow, I had no idea Yanis Varoufakis was so unbelievably based
Viva Cuba 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺👍👍👍 BRICS es el futuro
Sehr gut dargestellt
I'd like to hear Yanis' ideas on why current account deficit countries in the global north are able to avoid needing IMF/Wall Street credit (debt). Is it that they have a critical amount of capital domestically to produce enough income to maintain their standard of living while continuing their deficit status? If so, then it's obvious that the issue of who can live well vs. who suffers is determined by history: the West and Japan became capitalist first, and the rest of the world were their colonies. The pain experienced by the current account status of a nation is therefore a historical issue of colonialism and imperialism, not an economic issue.
The key to neocolonialism is what currency the predatory loans/toxic debt is in.
@@merfymac Yes. This is a starting point to understanding how empires function.
The debt burden has largely been transferred to the populous. The can is being kicked down the road.
Colonialism and imperialism are means of economic extraction. It is therefore an economic issue as well as subjugation.
Possibly a colonial/imperial economic exploitative model?
bring the fire
Any bigger political responses to his speech?
Either at the same congress (Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order) or outside of it?
This guy is intelligent. Nice to see. My own scientific work resonates completely. He understands the structural problems and is not scared to present radical solutions.
The “non-aligned movement” turned out to not be so non-aligned after all.
It’s aligned towards secular liberal democracy.
Which many tribes and nations don’t believe in
There was never truly a secular liberal democracy, at least in the modern times. Britain was practicing secular liberal democracy inside Britain, while at the same time having colonies all over the planet. Liberal democracy is a myth.
If only we could clone this outstanding human Clare I adore this woman.
BRICS is great !
It has taken 50 years for someone to understand Michael Hudson's book, "SuperImperialism," written in 1972.
How can the "Global South" be chronically short of dollars when the U.S. keeps running huge trade deficits?

Why that jump at 31:00??
Cuba for me is the little brave Gallic village, that widstood the Romans alone. They are under sanctions for decades.
❤
Why is the photographer sharing the stage with Yanis. Most distracting.
How can Cuba 🇨🇺 Haiti 🇭🇹 Mexico 🇲🇽 Caribbean , and Latin America create an economic miracle?
Trade logistics to Integrate our markets.
Yanis has a finger on the pulse of the systemic problems besetting the world, but I have great trepidation about his proposed solutions and their consequences in the long term.
I want to hear how he sees his path forward navigating the ugliness brought on by tendencies of human biology, social hierarchy, and privatization as a consequence of genetics and lineage building.
What are the safeguards he would pursue against patrimonialism and totalitarian takeover of these institutions and technologies once they are implemented?
How does he see this revolution successfully combatting the selfishness of genes and consequent human behavior?
Digital cloud capital is a cure that may prove more dangerous than the disease it treats. It can't be ignored, it exists and it can no longer bet put back in its box; Yanis is right that if we don't utilize it, it will utilize us.
I want to speak today about the fact that the international world order was based on Harrassment with weapons, hunger and thirst while the solutions are based on cooperation, and the inexpensive introduction of hydroelectric power to develop income generating private property. Widespread private property capable of generating and accumulating clean energy with water shall become a blessing for everyone that adopts this new “reset” that shall be based on dealing with each other in a more respectful and humane way.
daym yanis
I hate socialism and communism, but I appreciate and agree with his analysis of the US dollar hegemony.
Is that allowed by this crowd?
Maybe we should have balanced trade between countries
Greeks-the Light of the World.
Congratulations, some youtube video from cuba.
If USA chkses tk non-align itself from international politics, half of problems will be solved by itself.
How does China have rentiers?
Viva Cuba 🫡♥️
I don't think the non-aligned countries benefited much from being non-aligned. I think many have found that being aligned, allied, or in common cause to be a far more beneficial policy.
A bit harsh on China and Iran. He makes some decent points, but I don't trust him.
Learning from mistakes of the past does mean to me: Soviet with God .
“Just because a country is fighting US hegemony, it doesn’t give them a free pass” He should have mentioned Cuba here too. This is my issue with this movement, that it seems to give a pass to undemocratic oppressive and often very unequal regimes. I was a bit disappointed that Yanis glorified Fidel and Cuba like this.
I Never Understand Why Brilliant,Honest,Forward-thinking Politicians who Understand Economics Can't achieve a Real,Leadership Role that REALLLY Makes a Difference in the World!
Glad I saw this. I have been pleased by the honesty of this speaker in other videos, but this one was truly an eye opener, and a disappointing one. It seems every power mongering would be hero considers themselves the one who is going to "save mankind" "from itself". In this case, he cites dual extinction events his great movement will avert - global warming extinction and global thermonuclear war. It's just so tiring. I am severely disappointed.
Oh nice. I would hate to think of Yanis as an apologist of the imperial core. There's something very hopeful about seeing your heros double down on their values.
Pls no more bottles water=privatization of this common need
Why isnt the current non alignment movement disbanded already?
Just a word to the guy with the camera: The idea is to be discrete NOT to join the speaker on the podium!!!
I hope this also includes the Americans out of Europe....
This man knows what is going on and his facts. He is educating the world to the change we need to make!

This guys brilliant!
This is great! Remember that Yugoslavia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, India were all part of the non-aligned movement.
What a great and honest speech you would hardly hear from a politician in office.
You won't hear these kinds of things from Western politicians, as most Western countries are just corrupt oligarchies masquerading as liberal democracies.
Yanis is incomparable as always - a mix of competency in modern economics, visions for advancing the cause of saving all of us from capitalist dystopia through technology, and the good old revolutionary spirit of those who won so many gains from the ruling classes over the past century and a half.
