How to get our future back- with Yanis Varoufakis and more! Frankfurt, Germany, 2024
In the face of Europe's political turmoil, marked by the rise of the right and a glaring neglect for our planet, DiEM25's Frankfurt gathering, "How To Get Our Future Back," was a beacon of hope. Organised in conjunction with MERA25, our German political party, this event brought together brilliant thinkers like Yanis Varoufakis, our leading candidate for the EU elections in Germany, Karin de Rigo, German economist Helge Peukert, among others, to confront the crises of economic instability, militarisation, and climate inaction head-on.
This wasn't just a meeting; it was a battle cry for mobilisation. We delved into the issues at our continent's heart, charting a course for a fairer, truly greener Europe. The day sparked a fire for change, setting the stage for a Europe united by justice, resistance, and collective action.
Stand with DiEM25. Together, let's reclaim our future.

Absolutely concur!!!!!! 😍😍😍 I haven't listened to him or read anything by him for years - well, tbh, basically since he hasn't been in the public limelight that much any longer, or not so long thereafter... (But I'm still a proud, though inactive, member of DiEM25!!) I must say, I'm even more impressed, or let's say, at least as impressed as I was when I first got to know him... 👌🤩👏👏👏👏 Is it just my impression, or has he become even more amazing in the meanwhile??? Anyway, that was an amazing event! 🔥 Soooo glad it showed up on my timeline unexpectedly!!! 🥰🥰🥰

He said that he is going to die, but its possible after the singularity (which may happen either around 2035-2045), we can be immortal, however, that would require the capitalists to relinquish their power somehow. You can put "self-replicating satellites" around the sun that use the suns energy and solar wind to build matter to replicate, and have near billions of times of energy that the Earth has right now, enough to completely turn all random Earth materials into carbon fibre, steel, aluminum, silicon, fibreglass, enough to cryofreeze yourself into the future indefinately, enough to create VR worlds in the "blockchain" just as complex as the Earth but more fair.

we gotta eat the rich asap, what other choice have they left us?? this always happens in history, the rich get far too arrogant, indulgent, selfish, disconnected, and then we the people destroy them... either we do it now or in 10 years, but the sooner we do it the sooner we can start to find solutions to real problems, like the environmental problems, not these made up mind games that the politicians/media conglomerates would have us falling into for the rest of eternity eat the rich asap
Yanis a very intelligent, rational humanitarian social maxist, What he speaks is true HUMANITY. He is what we should all be , rational and humanitarian. No one can hold a candle to him, they cannot win an argument. He is well informed, understands history and humanity.

Thank you for this talk, so many important points given. The quality of the audio recording and microphone prove Yanis' point about Germany's third world technology level for public affairs. In fact, being from the third world and having public gatherings and discussions logistically very like this one with certain frequency, I can tell you, we do better audio for public talks even outdoors. Now, the quality of the ideas of this talk is remarkable, and that is why I listened through it all. I agree very much, there will be rationing, there has to be full on organized and mandatory de-growth or we just have destructive collapse and gauging, as we currently are feeling (again, we have been living it in that place people like to call, with polite-sounding geographical terms, the global south, since the mid 90s at least) for the past decade in full. Furthermore, migration is and will be happening as in Europe's, Australia's and the US's wildest media-juiced nightmares, but trust me, the nightmares of the people migrating are way more terrible and way more real. Both what Karin and what Yanis say will be the case: rich countries have to really help and "gift money" directly and fully to the countries that are really being way more affected by Climate catastrophe to help keep some living conditions for some of us to be able to stay, but when the heat and crop failures become constant, borders will have to be brought down because human beings, as all animals, do not stay in a place that is unlivable... we will see and have to deal with the phenomenon if and when it comes, where rich countries go full blown Israel on thousands of millions of people looking to survive. The quote of Kant that Yanis gives is stop on. Greetings and best wishes from a random Mexican woman ✊🏽✊🏽💜✊🏽✊🏽

When you notice the thought "someone should do something", remember you are Someone! The oppressors are very very organised, and so the oppressed need an equal level of organisation amongst themselves in order to have a chance. Yanis is trying to inspire us enough to organise ourselves. He can't do that for us, only we can do it. Join a Trades Union if you haven't already, join an organised protest group, join DIEM25 ...talk to people, start a group, and act!

Thank you for this discussion, how do we regain power when everything seems to be controlled by the few and so centralised. Example! I stayed in a motel in Melbourne recently.... I Commented on how comfy the bedding was. Low and behold a link appeared on the review section for online store they provide to buy the product provided by the hotel group. So I looked at this more and sure enough this same hotel/ motel group owns most of the accommodation throughout Victoria statewide and Australia wide. They also own all Safeway group liquor store's pubs/the pokies, Bunnings store's Energy companies, fertiliser company,Kmart/ and Target.... And so many other companies under different names , but all owned by the one group. It feels so overwhelming. How do we compete with these behemoths and the technocrats... Thanks for at least trying to get some hope back for our future and democracy.
Putin came from a stong support base before the conflict in Ukraine. His support has solidified since. Apar from that Yanis' comments appear relevant.

👍 I watched his and my theory come true this isn't rocket science only a competent System Analysis that I was trained 1981-85.
Mr. varoufakis: thank you for your logical perception and directions! The current mental state is clearly illogical! Shown clearly by the co-speaker who had difficulty understanding the simple definition of genocide! And, not even the point of a definition, but, the acceptance that whatever the explanation or description is, that what is happening is so very inhuman! For ALL of us!

Helge Peukert seems to be speaking quite directly to *Degrowth Communism* - like Kohei Saito and Jason Hickel talk about. Totally agree, we need international planning and regulation to reprioritize our value systems-we need to leave behind GDP as an accurate measure of common health/wealth and focus on ecology and global community wellbeing. Our current situation is riding on the last fumes of credit, western excess has not only pushed the problems of capital away into the global south, but also into the future-we have been cannibalizing the future and will be left holding an unpayable bill soon. We could have slower lives, better health, more time for family and community and less toxic burnout working conditions if we pursued the justice inherent to Degrowth ideas. The only hurdle is the scariness of the word “planning” (regulation)-but what else to do when we are rocketing past planetary boundaries and the ability of nature to regenerate itself from our excessive consumption?

It’s astonishing that Yanis with his MeRA25 party couldn’t overcome the 3% threshold in May 2023 parliamentary election. What a pity!
You do not need to agree with all what Yanis says (I don't) to recognize his imprescindible brilliance for any contemporary debate. In this one I agree with all (except his negative judgement of Putin, which, I believe is too one-dimensional; of course I do not deny that the man is no angel). In any case, the way Yanis defends his arguments in this particular debate is memorable. Yanis at his best.
