“If a lie is only printed often enough, it becomes a quasi-truth, and if such a truth is repeated often enough, it becomes an article of belief, a dogma, and men will die for it.”
Varoufakis is absolutely right about the Germans.
His take on the US and it’s grip on the global payment system is very enlightening. I knew about it, but hadn’t joined the dots.
Great talk! Thanks.
He's talking about something that has some truth & making huge leaps unfortunately. I agree with most of Yanis' positions. But his reasoning of why there is "a new cold war" has HUGE holes & conveniently frames things/cherry picks to make his argument work. Just bc China always wanted Taiwan, isnt some definitive predictor of the future, China didnt say by X date our military must be ready to take Taiwan, as they do now. China didnt have the capacity to do so. And just bc your not selling something to a country, doesnt make it "economic warfare". US wont sell nukes to Germany, is that warfare? All countries have economic interests. High end microchips & the machines that make sub 10nm microchips are sensitive technology, which can and are used for military weapons... and btw, ONLY the Netherlands produces these machines, is Netherlands waging war on the US? China is well known for stealing & reverse engineering technology. He also ignores that EVEN BEFORE TRUMP China started being aggressive & doing illegal things. Such as declaring the ENTIRE Red Sea its territory, building islands in international waters for military bases, & attacking other states shipping like the Phillipines & Vietnam. Ignoring stuff like that makes his commentary on that topic less authoritative.

@@jdogdarkness brilliant take....final argument is simply astonishing..."US wont sell nukes to Gerrmany""....Are you from US and A or at least decent "WASP."....
@@jdogdarkness What's your point here? That the US is in no way behaving with hostility towards China? That conclusion seems quite obviously flawed.
By following Yanis just for one year now i learned more than i have in my 50 years of my adult life
Too bad it’s full of misinformation
I am really sorry for you. Where did u spend the last 50 yeard of yor life? On the Moon?
I have a great appreciation for this man since I got to know him on social media. We may not agree with him on all matters, but the man in my view is the man of the explicit position. Free Palestine. Greetings from Morocco.
Indeed ! Greetings from Meknes!

England practiced genocide with the Highland Clearance 1700-1820, In Scotland.
Cool story. Know any about the Ottomans? Here's a fun thought experiment, what religion is responsible for killing by far the most muslims?
... and the genocide in Ireland.
And the Muslims slaughtered 2 million Christian Armenians in the 1900s. What’s your point?
Also getting rid of all ' juice ' in England 700 years ago .
Without forgetting 4 million Indians as well, pretty much genocide too, it's common in British history
Always like when Yanis on screen!!!! Thank you Novara!
I learned so much that I didn’t know
Love listening to Yanis, he is not a coward and says things for what they are! Much respect !
No one else can explain complicated economic ecosystems as well as this person. He gives only the information a layman needs to understand the dynamics . I suppose its a skill aquired as a professor.
But iI very much appreciate it.
He is Not seeing All aspect. He has he has his mostly very left opinion. This opinion is Not the only one and this opinion alone will Not help us to find solutions for All those crisis.
We habe to find solutions for getting out of depency from Gas and Oil. Russia, China and IRAN Arena playing a very Bad game with All of US. The New colonialisation Codes from CHINA AND RUSSIA.. war in NEAR EAST has is IRANIAN SOURCE. Yanisis ignoring this FACT. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Guys like Yanis Varoufakis are in short supply. We need more like him.

Why isn't the average citizen as aware as he is?
@@peaceforall1996 Where are the few of them even?
@@ariaslamb7789 ... because US\European mass media keeps spouting the same old "We're right and the rest of the world is wrong." That fools the average citizen.
Because of the US capitalism, global trade routes protections, democracy and technological innovation.. the worlds poverty levels are at all-time lows
Islam has done very little positive things for the rest of the world but they’ve done a lot of bad things
You can’t just look at the US and pick the negatives
As an American, I appreciate your rational perspective. Keep sounding the alarm. Our mainstream media have only one perspective that’s completely skewed in favor of Israel.
Me too
and i appreciate the two dimensional views/screens that provide opportunities to gain information and perspective
you certainly mean Claudine Gay, Judith Butler and all these soooo pro israel people
yeah keep going even if this show will be cancel by you tube, hope it will not..🙏🙏
With all respect, the western media, Politicians, TVs, BBC, CNN, etc, etc have taken their own population, their own audience, and their own readers for a BIG FOOLS, feeding them absolute garbage of the day. We all need to turn their words by 180 Degrees then we may get near truth. Shame on their democracy, Human Right, UN, Amnesty International, freedom, etc, etc
I'm from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 .. and I love Yanis for proclaiming TRUTH.. I wish we have more LEADERS like him in the WORLD.. and thank you Novara Media for the interview.. ❤
Possibly one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st Century
Possibly?
Thank god for Novara media 😊 x
Yanis Varofacus is brilliant I have been following him since 2008 , He is a gift to the world!
💯
I voted for brexit after listening to about @ dozen of this videos. Which he showed clearly that the eu was totally undemocratic.
The sad path for me is 49:15 till 54:05
can you identify the commentator? Thank you!
@@johnvodopia6659 His name is Aaron Bastani a British writer, co founder and contributing editor of Novara media
Mr. Yanis is a man with integrity and stands for the truth. He can explain world unfair practices of the West so clearly.
From Singapore.
It's funny to see a civilization based on a religion about guilt being devoured by it and self-destructive right? But remember that our ideological bullshit ends reaching all the world. It will be not so funny when you see Singapore being devoured by this mindset.
I love how Yanis put the power of words together and slap the faces with his speech. This is a historic talk. Thanks Yani!
Aaron Bastani is truly a great inteviewer, often just as apt on the topic as the guest
He asked excellent questions.
Wow
As a German citizen, I sadly agree with him. We're in a sorry state and all of our politicians are indeed cowards.
Haha there is no cure for our european sadness but thats ok let us be sad.
Good word
Cowardice
Very important movement in America today
The gutless I call them …..
Dangerous when It comes to
Mobocracy
Govt of Germany supports isrhells genocide in gaza. It will be recorded in worlds history! Shame Shame Shame!
Your Manufacturing Corporations are also migrating to America as well!
Putin won that long war in Chechnya. This war had been going on since czarist times,; Lev Tolstoy fought in it as a young soldier. Many Russian and Chechen young men had been sacrificed to feed the egos Of old men on both sides. Putin put an end to this long running carnage. Then he rebuilt the Caucasus, respected the moslem leaders, listening to their needs. Now there is not only peace but genuine respect between Chechens. and Russians
And happily he is now busy respecting the Ukrainians, putting an end to the war there, and rebuilding genuine respect between Russia and the nations on its western frontiers. What a glorious leader and pacifist he is.

TY Novara - Yes, we also enjoying listen to Yanis every time - a very normal and human-thinking person, which we do not have in our country! Greetings from Vienna.
This man is a man with integrity, knowledge and self criticism.
Yanis, thank you for being a man of honesty especially in these difficult times!
And novara media is a rising star as it should be!
Keep up the great work!
Well done Novara media for getting on Yanis Varoufakis; and what a headline; I applaud your effort to (rightly) discredit yourselves in this way.
I have no idea what this comment means.
Yanis should be president of the planet. What a beautiful mind and heart.
….sounds like a dictator…president of the planet??
Great interview!! 👏👏👏👏Thank you Aaron for making this platform.
We all have a responsibility to stand up and speak out.
ok, were is your action?
@@Berlinrevue if we do live in true democracies the only action we need to take is vote for the best parties. If we don't live in true democracies we should arm ourselves. So do we live in true democracies and are you voting for the best parties or are you arming yourself or do you only expect of others to do the right thing?
Varoufakis always adds clarity - looking forward to this - Novara seems to be getting great speakers recently
CLARITY?! LMAO.
He is just making stuff up but just because he is saying it with a lot of confidence people think its true.
@@davidshapiro292the truth can be uncomfortable
@@patrickemmett6269 delusional
What's he making up? You don't think saddam hussein was backed by US and UK, that the US benefits from the dollar being the reserve currency, that Palestinians were kicked off their land in 1948? @@davidshapiro292
Thank you Yanis Varoufakis for a very frank, interesting and informative discussion. I love it.

Thank you NOVARA for bringing quality journalism .... in times like this ❤️
indeeeed!
Dear Novara,
Can you get Yanis to talk about whst is happening in Turkey. I would love to hear his anslysis of the political and the economic state of the country.
He's a master at drawing out the big picture shining a light on all the consequences and is such an engaging communicator. Much appreciated Novara & Yanis 👍
And a master of selling bs at the same time.
@@janosik4984Gonna need an example from you, buddy.
master double speak like Hareets.
@@janosik4984and your contribution to the world?
truth. sadly he said "star of david" and not "star of david between two lines" (the river and the sea...)
Remember, the EU is very compatible with the far right.
Ha, the success of the nascent european caliphate suggests you are wrong.
Satire, obviously.
@@mr2981You think groups like Al-Qaeda are liberals? Lol Al-Qaeda and pals are far-rightwing.
@@lmbas8501 Meloni, Orban, the Poland guys... The EU is a machine of perpetual austerity that empowers the far right while it adopts far right border policies
@@AlbertoGarcia-wd7sc They are far-right in that they are authoritarian. However, their policies are far-left. The leaders you mention are on the right but that doesn’t mean the EU is.
Best talk with Yanis I’ve seen here.
He the most honest person in the world i thank him for his bravery and for his humanism I wish his success in political life with the same brilliant and powerful idealogy
I agree 1000% with the opening note of Yanis about Novara Media, “Thank you for existing.” You guys are the ones making some sense in a world that increasingly doesn’t make sense any more.
Well almost. There are definitely elements of their analysis that is shallow and underdeveloped.

Yanis Varoufakis is a voice of sanity in these dreadful times. The partiality of memory among Western Governments is positively Orwellian. I am old enough to recall the Napalming of Vietnamese children and the carpet bombing of Laos and Cambodia. The double speak is endless.
Still he speaks such an awful matter about Putin
I'm glad we're old as what is coming due to these elitist govts is going to be painful for the average people in an America headed over the cliff.
Please, don't forget all the dictatorship implanted in Latin America architected and supported by the USA that cost millions of lives, economic stagnation, change of the schools' curriculums in favor of the USA politics and English language, and more than 3 decades to re-democratization of the Central and South America.
Chills running down my spine for this great and unique human, Yanis forever.👑
I love listening to this man
This man integrity is amazing.
Read his books. The material can be tough, but it just means I have to google and read more sources, which in turn makes me more informed.
@@oh_acesagreed that it’s much more rewarding to read challenging material, you will learn a lot.
The tragedy is that it is amazing.
What integrity???
@@susanathompson1458
The same one you lack. And here’s the proof: you will never cite concrete examples of his alleged, mysterious flaws
I’m a big fan of Novara media and Yanis here from Brazil
Cant help people like yourself.

Big fan here SHEFFIELD, UK
I admire Mr Varoufakis for expressing the facts that plague humanity so bluntly so accurately so passionately with heart and soul, he tells it like it is, he brings a sense of clarity 😊Thank you ❤
Omg he's brilliant! 😍 ❤❤❤ I just love the truth of things. thanku, Yanis Varoufakis ❤
America is to blame!!!
The 🇬🇧 too.
Russia is to blame
San Marino is to blame!
Natzis always say that. 😂
Nah, ONLY THE JEWS.
Thank you Yanis, it's very informative and and entertaining. Thanks Novara too.
One of the few I listen to unconditionally, yes a chosen brother Yanis.
amen, or maybe a chosen sister or transwoman.....
The best overview of global politics you'll get in an hour, banger of an interview
Absolute banger, fire on the track. Nonstop bars and lyricism
Varoufakis is great speaker - he's absolutely correct, nobody should be banned or censorsed regardless of their views they jus need to be challenged.
Love Novara Media. Thanks for doing what's right.
Grateful for Yanis's abundant integrity. You're the best!
Outstanding person and honest Host
Love this guy, gives me hope that we are all not going insane
We're not have faith . Come the revolution..... yeah?
I learned so much that I didn’t know
He is able to tell you many a lie and you are able to believe them all.
Because the same backdrop to his preaching and your receiving has been built for almost a hundred years.

Always interesting to listen to Yanis.
Great and brilliant dicussion of current affair,unlike the corrupt western corporate entertainment legacy media.Thank you both.
Yanis Varoufakis is an absolute genius and perfectly eligible to become the Prime minister of Greece ..
He's so right about the atmosphere in Germany.

So sad but Yes We do
viva la revelutionali ! .
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!
Yanis & Aaron the world is grateful. ❤
Not really... I find it kinda backwards... Scratching the surface doesn't cut it really
Give at least one moment where yanis had surface level analysis, then share your great ideas since youre so elightened
@@oiaeyu Basically during the whole interview he is using false binary horizontal vocabulary - "Liberals versus Left"/ "White versus black"/"Europeans versus Palestineans" - these are all artificially induced fake horizontal conflicts. The real war in vertical The 1% and their think tank minions and Fortune 1000 offshore owned corporations - against Free Humanity. "Man City versus Man United" is just a disruptive PSY OP fake horizontal "sports game". These are fabricated sideshows.
@@oiaeyu I just spent an hour answering you in an academic and documented manner - and both my comments were censored. Will post again tomorrow. Truth will prevail!

So much packed into an hour and nine minutes. Thank you Novara and Yanis!
Brilliant!
I always thought that Yanis is a Honest Man. My first Intuïtien .I listen to him sinds 2015..
Fuckin masterclass, beacons of light in a dark dominated world. I received hope and give prayer.
Yanis is a blessing to any decent human being. I am serious. I mean this!
Very well organized, and well informed person, moving in the right direction. A great plesire to listen to him. Congratulations.
Always 100% aligned with Varoufakis, it's as if he eas speaking my mind out!!
"Rules based international order" doesn't exist Aaron. I think we can clearly say that now.
yes we can.
“Rules based international order” exists only when the collective West especially the US see it fix.
❤Mr. Yanis you had very good debate on serious political issues. It was informative and up to the point. Thank you. O. S.
Such a deep wisdom and human empathy. You earn all my respdct and inspired.
much Love & Respect to Yanis.
SILENCE = Complicitiy, STAND UP, SPEAK UP so that when your children, your friends, your conscience ask WHAT did YOU do when a Genocide was happening, they, your Heart and Soul will know YOU Stood for Justice, YOU were on the Right side of History... Free Palestine !!!
I'm not sure Yanis has all the answers, but if he has half the answers, that's ten times better than Sunak or Starmer.
Above all, Yanis has morals and principles in addition to intellect and economic competency.
With the death of the real Labour party, I think Yanis can offer the UK a true alternative political party. I say Yanis for Prime Minister or the UK.
Is that why Greece went bankrupt ? and now he's the expert ?
Basing his conclusion on misinformation leads to wrong conclusions.
@@Joeyknows924 well asked, that´s what i was wondering all the time too.
Yanis makes many good critiques, but his solutions and policies would turn the UK into Venezuela.
@@Joeyknows924
Greece was already bankrupt, but Yanis (SYRIZA & Tsipras) made it much more bankrupt.
The voice of reason. No praise is high enough.🙌👏🙏🏽j.
Thank you for this enlighening video ! More success to your endeavors.
Brilliant!! Yanis, you are simply wonderful! Thank you, Novara Media for your commitment to sensible and fearless journalism!
This man is so brilliant and such a decent human being. I learn every time I listen to what he has to say. I’m thankful he’s alive, on the planet and doing what he does.
Jozef Borrel is a decent human
Absolutely 💯
Yes but he doesn't understand that Jews themselves also had a hand in anti-semitism of the Pogroms etc.. in many Slavic lands the aristocracy left their liquor distilleries and other functions in the hands of the Jews. When grain was prioritized for liquor vs bread in times of famine or when Slavic peasants found themselves in overwhelming debt to the Jews they often resorted to Pogroms. It isn't a simple story of just one kind of bad guy, the European.. You have an uncaring out of touch aristocracy, you have a group that took advantage of their capabilities at administration or their lack of proscription against usury that Christians faced and exploited others for gain and you have the vice filled Slavic peasants that drowned their troubles with alcohol instead of organizing and helping each other. Don't blame European Christians for all of the problems. It's multifactorial including some blame going to a class of Jews as well.Even among Jews the leaders of Kehilla oppressed the average Jew.
I agree 200 percent.
Time to stop supporting Israel. Free Palestine. Yanis is free thinker of our time.please support him
Thanks Yanis for ever great full for your input 🙏

No need to be conflicted about Iran Yanis. Nobody wants to live under a theocracy or a dictatorship but true change can only come from within organically, if imposed by a superpower to serve their interests it will backfire.
What if you live inside the superpower? Do you have any ideas?
@@susanmercurio1060 if you live in the West, be grateful. I understand how frustrating it can be to see how the political class is so disconnected from the people and how the system is rigged but at least you have a minimum of human rights, a passport that allows you to travel the world, the right to protest and speak truth to power and a vote.
I live in Egypt and we are not only oppressed from the wider imperialist structure but also stripped of any right and dignity from our dictatorship. Gaza is a border away and we can't even protest. Our lives just don't matter.
