    Wall Street was a one off bet not reliably replicated. Approx 75% of small investors lose. Hedge funds tried to manipulate the market by shorting "Gamestop" small investors applied a squeeze bet and won. Now the small investors have to sell and take their profit. Some of those small investors may end up losing by selling at a lower share price than they bought at. The final winner still hasn't been worked out. Hedge funds are crying about losing $20 billion and asking for a government bail out. Society can still lose what ever the outcome. I'm glad the small investor fucked the hedge funds over in the short term.

    Using a popular platform is, in my view, a sensible thing to do if you are a marginalised figure because a wider audience gets to see how reasonable your arguments actually are. This is completely different to what Owen Jones sometimes does; ie. interview establishment figures who already have ample opportunity to spread their propaganda on the main stream media.

    The analysis Yanis Varoufakis offers is as always broad and yet to the point, the practical detail of how the alternative came come to pass perhaps less so. The idea of a transnational movement is attractive and, in a global world, necessary; but DiEM25 was not the example of such a movement, operating democratically within its own structures, I was looking for. It would be nice to think others could take up the promise of the ideas offered by members of DiEM25, and forge a more successful path towards the future Yanis says we need.

    Writing from NYC. Currently 73 and housebound, but I get my second shot next week. Been following Yanis from at least 2014, Long before I could spell either of his names (I just had to check “Yanis” on the screen). Followed 2015 in hope and horror, learning more than I ever desired about the fine structure of European power and the European banking structure, and the dismal effects of Euroization. Most readers are probably too young to remember the introduction of the market mechanism that as supposed to limit currency moves that were disrupting the common market (read overvaluing the mark and threatening to drive West Germany out of any market saved only be the falling prices of imports that could then be transformed into exports, plus cash inflow seeking safety. Low internal inflation although, bizarrely, high export prices. The system was unstable, an instability due to problems too deep to be cured by requiring each nation to balance its budget. Thus the Euro. As the Euro was being introduced, Hal says to himself “How can you have a currency without a state system-not the current false front? I never felt lonely in this US centric opinion and was not surprised to learn that Yanis, and even Mitterrand (sp.) along with the Brits shared this opinion at the time. I and I gather Mitterrand, etc., assumed that the iron laws of reality and necessity would result in a Federal Republic of some sort with universal tax and social welfare authority. See comments by Yanis on how without the geographical redistribution of funds from the social welfare system and military budget (I would add in the post office and Federal Highway trust funds prominently), the US dollar could not function internally as a medium of exchange. This reality afflicted the US economy with recurrent depressions and an absurd reliance on London for capital at least until the creation of the Federal Reserve, the Progressive Era Reforms, and the financial and industrial tsunami of World War 1. Lincoln had to fight the Civil War without a central bank, although brilliant and insanely ambitious Treasury Secretary Chase created a sort of virtual bank along with on the side creating a paper currency featuring Chase’s portrait on the $1 bill - he was literally trying to increase his name recognition and convey the message that He had created this currency and was its guardian. Sigh. Except for the Chase story this was the common knowledge a generation ago as conveyed by history and Civics texts. Currency reform was the hottest political issue in the US after slavery from at least 1820 to 1920 including the very substantial Greenback party in the late 1860s and even more substantial Populist party which briefly took over the national Democratic Party in the 1890s and were later subsumed into the Republican/Progressives movement. These third party revolts were based increasing the money supply and increasing spending to increase industrial employment and agricultural prices. Their solutions may have been crude, “free” unlimited minting of silver from the silver mines (the mint at one point gave in a bit, minted vast quantities of silver dollars, and then never released them, gold standard folks.). In the post civil war period the US considered going completely off the gold standard (it was only barely on it, gold coins enjoyed a slight premium over paper). Speculators no doubt using highly leveraged funds drove the price of gold to absurd heights. Pres. Grant’s brother in law was involved communicating (incorrectly) that he had inside information. Grant correctly saw that this was a true crisis extending far beyond familial embarrassment, so as he says he made a study of the issue. Grant, whose reputation has been sabotaged by generations of Confederates and racists (see “Lost Cause Movement”).was very intelligent as well as a competent evenhanded administrator. He was also excellent at mathematics and was slated to be a math instructor at West Point before the Mexican War intervened (at the time, all West Pointers were trained to be engineers). In other words, he had the ability to study with understanding the leading edge scholarly writings on the subject circa 1870. After acquiring this understanding and no doubt after discussions with cabinet officials and allies such as senator Sherman, the general’s older brother and later author of the Sherman antitrust act, ordered the sale of gold from the treasury reserve, destroying the speculators including his brother in law and eventually enabling the US to eventually return to the Gold standard. Some persons blame the Financial Panic of 1873 on Grants action and no doubt it contributed, but the whole world financial structure must have been rotten and blighted by overproduction for this speculative madness to have created a world depression lasting 10-15 years. US agricultural profitability except in wartime has never again approached these levels. And the cotton boom, now seven or eight years following the war, was destroyed forever. The agricultural South was especially mired in poverty at least until WWII. You can see why the idea of a currency without a state system seemed impossible to North Americans 30 years ago, and should really only exist as a fever dream of German bureaucrats. And more tsunamis inevitably ensue, vastly exacerbated by the fetishization of various media of exchange.

The international left needed a new vision instead of just looking back to the post-war era - Yanis gave us that vision and has already begun the work to socialize the capitalist framework of our world.

    Yanis was correct when he spoke about not demonizing the trumpers and brexiters, specifically the people who have been brutalized by neoliberal capitalism. But just listening, talking, and learning from them is not enough. This points to a key problem with Labour and DiEM25. The problem is that struggling people have needed and currently need material help. Labour and the left did not come to their aid for decades and in the case of Labour, often supported their oppression through embracing neoliberal austerity. The failure of door-knocking should have been an object lesson. The point is, as well-meaning as the Momentum section of Labour and Yanis's DiEM25 party are, they're still in the end a top down intervention into a crisis situation that has now gone on for over two generations. In my humble opinion, it's putting the cart before the horse. We need to form, build, and support linked organizations that directly help struggling people, not out of charity, but out of solidarity and shared struggle. That would give real meaning to listening, talking, and learning - which would work both ways and be the ground for political education and organization. Parties and institutions can be built from that base, but not I fear the other way around - unless Labour and DiEM25 decide to integrate materially helping struggling people into their plans and make it a priority, but it's hard to see that happening. So, we'll have to do it ourselves.

    The library card concept has been thouroughly tested in Yugoslavia, especially in its northernmost state of Slovenia, through Edvard Kardelj's concept of socialist self-management. It was, one one hand, a democratic illusion for the masses, so that a one-party system could continue without public discontent, and on the other a geniunely innovative attempt at distributing economic decision-making among the working class. What it resulted in was a rise in near-political participation, while keeping the big guns in the hands of the communist party. And company directors complaining that a janitor obstructed a vote. It would be absolutely beautiful if this could be attempted again without sacrificing democracy. So the key still lies in obtaining the power necessary to pull this off through election, which means uniting the disenfranchised with the identity politics crowd, an ever less likely scenario.

    My suggestion to my fellow American Lefties is that we give Biden a fair chance to do what he needs to do, and then burry him as soon as it obvious that he will not do what he needs to do. If the PTB ever do manage to create a One World Government, I hope Yanis Varoufakis becomes its first President. I cannot think of any better suited to the task.

    One World Goverment??? I hope it's just a joke man because your should be stupid or pretty innocent to spect something like that succed or not becoming a totalitarian regiment just like George Orwells 1984 "Oceania"... I''m not a communist (and I hope you not to be also), but I also agree with you that globalization and the modern rulling economic (Neo)Liberal System ("Laissez Faire" or Classical capitalism) which is the real responsible for all this posmodernist identity politics that the right calls "Cultural marxism" (also the radical marxists/scoialist don't help as usually) and use it to discrimante/reject any progressive/left/socialist politics in the name of "Liberty" and now its giving power to the fascist resurgiance, this same system will not not save us to get out from this global crysis and to reduce the number of disease/dead people by COVID-19 for not having enough money to pay helathcare and many other basic services that should be able for all, it's incredible that a country like US which has always proclaim itself to be the Liberty's Country" has one of the worst healthcare system in the first world countries and cares more about letting other people like Jeff Bazos, Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk to get richer (but the consumers are also responsible for buying their products/services) than helping the must needed ones!!!

    I always enjoy conversations with Yanis. It is the duty of social minded people embracing solidarity to show the way forward for a more pure democracy. We the people are the Government. Come let us reason together. Multiculturalism within humanity is based on the illimitable expression of the mind where we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead and to tolerate any error as long in a open society the freedom exist to question it and can never be censored speech and the free exercise thereof. What is missing is a single point of organizational resistance to the CORPORATOCRACY. It's a bad day in hell If we blindly accept that, the election systems are fair and transparent then most everything else is just a wish and a dream. Verifiable, clean Voting integrity and Unity candidates is a must in affecting real change for all of mother Earth. The curtain has been pulled back in the land of OZ but most are asleep in the poppy fields by vulture profit design I might add. Going down the golden yellow brick road can the lion find his courage, the tin man his heart and the scarecrow find common sense? When they finally arrive at Emerald City minus the flying monkeys of course, and Dorothy asks the gate keeper "why do Ya'll have on rose colored glasses?" He replied "Because if you did not wear spectacles the brightness and glory of Emerald City would blind you. Even those who live in the City must wear spectacles night and day. They are all locked on, for Oz so ordered it when the City was first built, and we have the only key that will unlock them". A world wide "MULTICULTURAL UNITY MOVEMENT" could be that single point, if the objectives are clear and widely understood and accepted. "It's amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites". Thomas Sowell We are reluctant to consider and slow to support. In America 34% of registered voters identify as independent, compared with 33% who identify as Democrats and 29% who identify as Republicans. This poll doesn't reflect reality since no Independent/Unity party is allowed to exists, but all this could change in a moment. I Am working hard to bring about a Independent/Unity Headquarters USA a podcast studio/music shin,dig get together where common sense, truth and Unity can prevail. Let the revolution continue, it will be televised. Such is life, so they say. c'est la vie kzread.info/dash/bejne/iX9or5uietXNpNI.html

    Excellent Owen/Yanis. Where's our FDR!? Left, moderate and extreme, must first answer man's basest instinct...greed. Only with a model where greed can succeed, but be inherently capped, can Fascism lose any appeal. 1929 on steroids...so now is what 1934? Grim. Engage the deplorable's...yes. Build a model that attracts greed, but delivers social equity...what a rubric! 👍

    Yannis I'm sorry but Mussolini propping up a pension system is a well known myth that fascists like to reiterate. Italy's pension system was established in 1898 when Mussolini was 15. He did reform it and he did prop up pseudo-socialist measures following the same project you describe, but most of it was "show" and propaganda. Otherwise, very informed and interesting discussion, cheers from Italy!

    Complete democratic consent in a company would never work. I’ll use the example Yanis gave to make a few points. So Kate needs to be paid more money. How do you get consensus on the additional value she is providing to the corporation? Implicit in her providing more value is others providing less. And if it’s based on monetary value - why is more importance being given to a revenue generation role vs a support role? It’s easy to imagine feelings of inequity and unfairness arising. This is without even factoring the competitive social games that would likely be taking place. Even if you get consensus on the need for a pay rise, how would you decide on what the pay rise should be? Would that also require consensus? How would you decide which matters to vote on, and on which matters to forego voting? If it’s a few big decisions, then not all opinions would be equally as valuable for a particular vote. This is why we have specialities. If it’s too many small decisions, you risk spending more time discussing and voting than doing the work to create value in the marketplace.

    The Democrats now have a slim majority in the Senate (following special elections in January). We here in the U.S. know that they are masters of making excuses.

    They are despised by the democrats establishment much more than the republicans. I would recommend the squad gets off Twitter and uses the time more productively in coming together to center on economics so that they can more coherently build a platform in opposition to the left right consensus on militarism and financialization.

    I can understand Yanis personal resentment against the EU, but you do not need the category of 'imperialism' (or Germany's alleged domination of the EU) when you have the category of 'capital'. Techno-feudalism does not do the same trick, unless it is understood as byproduct of capital (and therefore labour).
