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!
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.
@@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.
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.

yes yanis and progressives international and diem25 gives me hope, i grew up in England/Greece/Italy/Mexico/US can you comment in more length? would love to hear an individual chinese perspective
Cuba had a revolution that was stolen by the Castro family (the Chinese had theirs stolen by the so-called "CCP"). Dictatorship IS NOT a feature of communism. Communism should be hyper democratic rather than a crony system of family and friends getting the plum jobs and making themselves rich. George Orwell described it best, "some are more equal than others".
@@toi_techno yes...animal farm ..i read that when i was twelve ..i never recovered democracy is still a kracy ..rulership..have you read kojin karatani's, Isonomia..no rule..?
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.
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 very knowledgeable, conscientious and capable of an independent way of thinking. The world needs more people like him so that there can be real peace.

His call to action in the last 5 minutes or so was spot on. If the past 7-8 years have taught us anything, it is the power of what he calls "cloud capital" to steer societies and change the world, for better or for worse. I think many of us did not recognize just how powerful these nascent technological platforms were until they were harnessed for destructive ends. Those of us who were paying attention were shocked at how effective these tools are at influencing the opinions and behaviors of vast populations, and we suddenly recognized the power being wielded by those who saw the dark potential sooner than we did. But he is absolutely right - leveraging cloud capital effectively in the coming years will be a make-or-break requirement for the large-scale social changes he is proposing. Doing it well will be the key to success, and ignoring or using it poorly will likely guarantee failure.
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.

I stand humbled and admiring, with a deep bow of respect and sentiment of goodwill and applause. Bravo!
Dear Mr. Varoufakis, you are by definitions "Brilliant " and your desire to lead people to a better financial system is to be appreciated, never the less, if you will turn your head back, you will realize that the followers your trying to mobilize for your idea are sitting comfortably in air conditioned or heated living room's or SUVs, enjoying the fruits of a system your criticizing, most of the "comfortable" ones would push the like button on your TH-cam, but to my understanding, people would not change the comfortable system they are having, with your "Brilliant idea" which have not being tested yet.

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.

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.

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.
It's quite impressive that Varoufakis has reached the interpretation he has; there's so much muddle in-between the socialist thought of the early 20th century and his fully developed understanding of contemporary imperialism. He pulls together threads from such very different fields to create this clear and incisive story.

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.
It’s not a difficult concept. Organising human society to produce the goods and services we need for the benefit of all rather than the few that for the last 40 years have enacted the biggest transfer of wealth and power up to themselves from ordinary people. It’s pretty much how humans cooperatively engaged for millennia. Capitalism has been a relatively short experiment, neoliberalism even shorter and much more damaging, as Yano’s described in his speech. What’s your alternative solution (genuine question)?
It appears that suggestions of an end to Capitalism, seem to be Verbotten? The ability to view nations that now complain of a growing inability to satisfy economic demands, appears to display most of the inhabitants of the Planet, as not being served by Capital? Yanis is a brave Man to spread the word about the facts.
Nice to hear those ideas. We should have more voices like Yanis Varoufakis. In fact, we have, they should come forward, I believe that's emerging. Perspective is a gradient of social courage coming into the world. Hope for change.

It is not often I swallow a whole half hour speech broadcasted on youtube in one sitting, in one breath, unable to take my eyes and ears and mind away from it, but this is certainly the case here! I stand humbled and admiring, with a deep bow of respect and sentiment of goodwill and applause. Bravo!
Danke, Yanis! Carpe DiEM! ✊️
Truly we need it.
Dear Mr. Varoufakis, you are by definitions "Brilliant " and your desire to lead people to a better financial system is to be appreciated, never the less, if you will turn your head back, you will realize that the followers your trying to mobilize for your idea are sitting comfortably in air conditioned or heated living room's or SUVs, enjoying the fruits of a system your criticizing, most of the "comfortable" ones would push the like button on your TH-cam, but to my understanding, people would not change the comfortable system they are having, with your "Brilliant idea" which have not being tested yet. It is mostly hungry and despert people who are willing to fight for an idea. Good luck. The world needs inspiration.
Greetings to the great Cuba and Yanis
Insightful and optimistic.
Thank you Yianis.
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.
Brilliant!
Thank you Yanis for a great talk.
Thank you Yanis for this excellent speech. I am grateful for our team locally both globally that all we have a purpose. Local to Global and Global to local. We have to frustrate technology to go faster and more faster to an other point of globe to other.
This word salad indicates, that You might be a little dizzy by the speed Yanis is throwing all this BS on your head!?

Anyone who fights for Julian Assange like yanis does is a true champion. Thank you
Great speech. Regards from Bosnia and Herzegowina
put so elegantly, concisely, and brilliantly by yanis once again ... twer it all were so simple, as the vision is clear
Keep what yanis said
It's important
He knows what he is saying
He is one of the smart cookies
this man makes me happy. It is good to know that there is an alternative... and people who are smart enough to understand and explain how the systems work. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK of educating the world.
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."

YES, and each of us can implement these ideas RIGHT NOW where we live, with our actions.
@@bertanelson8062 Yes indeed....

Sehr gut dargestellt
Dear Yanis , you should launch DiEM25 in India as well !
Why?
This is the most insightful and optimistic speech I have listened to in many years. I will try to share this as much as I can and I wish to express my deep appreciation that you have shown me a whole series of connections I never understood
Great intellectual, economis,phillosophet,or snd geniud
Just brilliant! Greetings from 🇨🇵.
Thanks for not kicking down on the working class folks of America as we are captive too.
What a speech! Vivid, true and powerful.
Bravo comrade Varoufakis! Great speech.
Thank you, Yanis for all your efforts and hard work to help our world grow in truth, justice, and understanding ❤️

Thanks Yanis, much appreciated.
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
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?
31:03 - there’s a bit missing?!
@@conallmorrison2379 I wondered if Yanis had been "edited" for some reason...🤨
Completely on point. Let’s pull it off!
Such a great mind Yanis
Brilliant!
Watching from 🇨🇦
This gives me hope for the future.
He's the smartest social economic mind on the world stage
Check out Michael Hudson as well.
Thanks
Great politician. workers of all countries unite!
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.
It's quite impressive that Varoufakis has reached the interpretation he has; there's so much muddle in-between the socialist thought of the early 20th century and his fully developed understanding of contemporary imperialism. He pulls together threads from such very different fields to create this clear and incisive story.
Poly Ourea!!! Super Speech 🎤!!!! 🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍
I have tremendous admiration for Yanis. Thank you Yanis.
This man has the understanding that is so much needed by those that would lead.
RANKED CHOICE VOTING 🗳️ NOW!
Keep going Yanis! Well done. You made the correct answer and direction. I hope this could wake up people.
Yanis for World Prime Minister.
Plz no there no home owners in cuba
Accurate. Heavy hitting. Honest.
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 έτσι τέτοια άσχετα να λέτε, τόσο respect οι έξω και εδώ να αναμασατε ότι λένε τα media. Κάτσε εσύ στο καναπέ να σου παίρνουν την πρώτη κατοικία τώρα 🙄
@@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.
Excellent! Thank you!
❤. Insightful. ❤.
First conference of non aligned movement was in Belgrade..... Big conference hall is under reconstruction and it would be very nice to open it with new nonalignment summit....
👍🏿💪🏿🇲🇾
Thanks for sharing!
Clown words are free.
Brilliant. The closest politician to a Philosopher King (Plato's Republic) as I have ever seen!
Wonderull, impeccable! We must try the same in Brussels, Strassburg, with an new alliance with Nouveau Front Populaire.
I aprove of Yaniks proposal !!
Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ Γιάννης! Καλύτερες ευχές σε όλους τού κόσμου.
Thank you Yanis.
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.
This is not a drill, this is not a pipe dream, we can pull it off!
Amazing speech!
I am against all bad things. I am for all good things.
This was good...

It’s not a difficult concept. Organising human society to produce the goods and services we need for the benefit of all rather than the few that for the last 40 years have enacted the biggest transfer of wealth and power up to themselves from ordinary people. It’s pretty much how humans cooperatively engaged for millennia. Capitalism has been a relatively short experiment, neoliberalism even shorter and much more damaging, as Yano’s described in his speech. What’s your alternative solution (genuine question)?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER VAROFAKIS I HOPE AND PRAY FOR GOD FUTRE
I cried.
YES!!!!!!! WITH THIS!!!!!!
It appears that suggestions of an end to Capitalism, seem to be Verbotten?
The ability to view nations that now complain of a growing inability to satisfy economic demands, appears to display most of the inhabitants of the Planet, as not being served by Capital?
Yanis is a brave Man to spread the word about the facts.
Nice to hear those ideas. We should have more voices like Yanis Varoufakis.
In fact, we have, they should come forward, I believe that's emerging.
Perspective is a gradient of social courage coming into the world.
Hope for change.
This man talk through is heart for the truth
For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against, against Powers, against the #RulersOfTheDarkness of this world, against Spiritual Wickedness in #HighPlaces. - Ephesians 6.12

"the exodus of dollars was the foundation of American hegemony" at 9:35 needs to be learned and memorized
Wow great speech
I love you Yannis and your deep decency.
Good work and truth
An extra ordinary insightful lecture by the distinguished intellectual and realust Yanis Varoufakis. Thank you!
