i never know when to believe Yanis Varoufakis, i like when he speaks about things w/in his expertise, but it feels like he's just become another talking head that knows everthing

@JohnDoe-jn8hg April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Yanis is totally insipid. Well, what do you expect froma commie?

@alexplummer6397 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

By your logic all political ideology do this. It depends on which perspective you have. As far as people being lead by hate, you’ll have to look at British India. We’re jumping way too far ahead

@alexplummer6397 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADING ,LOOTING ,TAXING AND PRINTING?

@A.P.1821 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

What about post-modern fascists like Varoufakis himself?! (question from Greece)

A failing Europe? Maybe not. Since this interview things have been looking up for Europe.

@carrerau7138 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

For Commies like Varufuckis every non-leftist is a "fascist".
So what….

@JCElzinga April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Why is the video quality so shit? looks like this was filmed in 2005 but with a new RODE microphone.

@mariettestabel275 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Thanks again Mr.Varoufakis.

@LookinAtStars April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

I love how irrelevant this popinjay has become.

The Breton Woods agreement was supposed to end. Time it did. It will be a calamity but a better and more equitable arrangement has to be made.

@DeonPretorius-f9g April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Trump is a showman. A magician. He relies on miss direction, but that is very difficult to attain in the modern world. Nixon had it easy to pull a fast one past the world's eyes, but everyone is paranoid now.

@Arin_wright April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Yanis called it with the double barrel shotgun analogy.

@johna202 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Clearly Yanis’ extraordinary insight is fuelled by all that cumulative “failure”!

@aminoorrahman4453 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

By having a massive trade deficit and having the dollar to be used in all world transactions. Trump is basically using other countries money to pay off US debt by imposing trade tariffs. He is imposing massive tariffs on China so that he can use the money China have accumilated via communism to pay the US deficit. Most of the deficit was accumulated by the US by supplying arms and financial assistance to Israel from the late 1960s to the present day. No one has heard of the israeli state paying off state debt to the US.

@Jonathan-yr3so April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

About the only thing I’ve gathered over the past 10 years after returning to America as a looong time expat is, the left has become the very thing they claim others of being. I use to be left leaning but now I absolutely can’t stand what they have become

@doorwhisperer April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

The modus operandi of fascism is violence.
There is no violence.
Ergo no fascism.

the autofocus on your camera could incite fascism however

@pasternus April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

real point is to convince working class, to stand against to sadism by these fascists which has already aplied on them by bankers or jewish imperialists. to say the truth, varoufakis style trockists are too soft against finance-capital. left alone masses, reflects the same kind of sadism to finance capital "jews". so if there is no justice, nobody is safe. everyone crying for their own class statue, including varoufakis

@FrederickBowdler April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

I think America has been in trouble for many years and sourcing from other countries in an unbalanced way is a problem which was inevitable.

@camilordofficial April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

So the countries that had tariffs on the US were fascists? These people think everyone is dumb.

@JoaoHenrico-Ico April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Well said Voldemort!

@AghorBhairav-o7v April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

putinist fascist is here to explain fascism to us. IT's hypocrites like Varoufascist who are the biggest enemies of Europe amd freedom.

@ralphperry3576 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Agree

@endsieb April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Not fashism. Zionism

@vasoskaraflas8084 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Yianis, the nazis are governing Europe again. The European "left", tolerated them and let them to control the entire EU.
DO YOURSELVES, a favour and cut the crap, about "nazis", "racists"and shit.
We have seen your political choises and where, we've ended up.
You care more about your personal careers, "green agenda" and sexual minorities, than the working people of Europe.
… we are furious, angry and disgusted by your "blind eyes" while the nazis were snatching power in europe.
European "left" is over, get over it.

@TiagoSilva-pf4oj April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Meanwhile, in Europe, a friend of mine who is a police chief officer was stabbed in a police facility and the immigrant criminal was released. Just one example that might put one thinking: if power will never be with the people, nor freedom, why choose freedom of speech and no freedoms other than that? Food for though…

@Merstak April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm

Hahaha cry more 😂😂😂

@bazmawhirk1134 April 17, 2025 - 6:32 pm
