Israel's genocide in Gaza grinds on, while Israeli officials now signal they are “fully ready” to strike Iran—raising the risk of a regional firestorm. But within the EU, dissent is being crushed. In an unprecedented case, the EU has sanctioned one of its own citizens for being a journalist. http://red.media founder Hüseyin Doğru was targeted on behalf of Germany—for exposing Germany's complicity in the genocide in Palestine. No trial. No hearing. An extrajudicial punishment. The EU claims he “systematically spread false information on politically controversial subjects with the intent of creating ethnic, political and religious discord amongst a predominantly German audience.” In reality, his reporting focused on social protests across Germany and Europe—something that now appears to go too far for the so-called democratic powers in Berlin and Brussels. The listing followed http://red.media's exclusive coverage of Germany's brutal crackdown on pro-Palestinian students—and it forced the outlet to shut down. What does it mean when reporting on Gaza is reframed as extremism, and journalism itself becomes a sanctionable offense? Hüseyin Doğru joins Yanis Varoufakis to dissect Europe's widening assault on free speech, Germany's criminalisation of Palestine solidarity, and how ordinary citizens can push back—before they too are silenced. Hosted by Mehran Khalili. Tune in live, bring your questions, and share widely—while you still can.

Israel is escalating its genocide in Gaza. Entire families are being wiped out, famine is spreading, and airstrikes are targeting shelters and schools. In the West Bank, killings and settler violence are surging as Israel tightens its grip on the territory. Yet despite these atrocities, international media coverage has diminished. While a handful of European governments have begun to question their complicity, meaningful action is still missing.  In this livestream, Palestinian writer and organiser Mohammed El-Kurd joins Yanis Varoufakis to cut through the noise: What's really happening on the ground? Why has the West been so slow, or unwilling, to act? And what can we, as citizens, do about it? Hosted by Mehran Khalili.

It's 2025. President Trump is back, and the richest men in tech are on stage with him. What started as a dysfunctional internet run by tech giants, and enabled by failed legislation, has morphed into something even more dangerous: what economist Yanis Varoufakis calls technofeudalism. Host Cory Doctorow traces how U.S. trade pressure dragged Canada into America's broken internet model, how shortsighted attempts to make big platforms behave came back to haunt us during the worst wildfire season in Canadian history, and offers up a solution for how to save the internet, asking: in a post-free trade world, why are we still playing by American rules?Guests in this episode include Yanis Varoufakis, Delaney Poitras, Michael Geist, Pam Samuelson, Clive Thompson, Ed Zitron, and Emmanuel Goldstein.

Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis worked together a decade ago to prevent Europe from harming itself by crushing Greece. They failed. Since then, Europe's self-harming policies exacerbated by a lethal dependence on, and servility to, the US have had nasty repercussions for Ukraine, Palestine as well as Europe's relations with China. Now that Trump is back, with Europe's Green Deal already abandoned, the world is facing the perfect storm: intense trade (and thus class) wars, a mounting Cold War with China, an ultra-hot war in Ukraine, a heart-wrenching genocide in Palestine, and an accelerating climate emergency.  In this episode, Jeffrey Sachs and Yanis Varoufakis get back together again to reminisce, to take stock of a world spinning out of control and, crucially, to propose tangible solutions that we must campaign for today.

Każdy słuchacz i słuchaczka podcastu "Techstorie" doskonale wie, że technologie rządzą światem i meblują nam rzeczywistość według swoich upodobań. A w tym odcinku omawiamy książki, które z różnych perspektyw tę kwestię opisują. Obie zostały napisane przez bardzo ciekawe osobistości. Autorem pierwszej jest były minister finansów Grecji. Polityk, który do życia publicznego wszedł z gamedevu, bo wcześniej tworzył podwaliny systemów ekonomicznych w grach takich jak "Counter Strike: Global Offensive" czy "Dota 2". Ekspert ten twierdzi, że żyjemy w świecie postkapitalizmu, w którym zasady gry ustalane są nie przez państwa, lecz przez korporacje. A drugą napisał człowiek, który ma licencjat z filozofii, dyplom prawniczy i doktorat z neoklasycznej teorii społecznej. Do tego szefuje jednej z bardziej wpływowych, ale wciąż trzymających się w cieniu spółek technologicznych w USA, która ma bliskie związki z Pentagonem i CIA. OMAWIANE KSIĄŻKI: “Technofeudalizm.

Happy Friday! Sam and Emma chat with Ryan Grim, reporter at and co-founder of Drop Site News, co-host of Counter Points, to round up the week. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump's tariff flip-flops, Elon Musk's role in the Trump Administration, government job creation, the NLRB, Trump's federal fund freeze, GOP's surveilance state, US consulate shutdowns, the DOD's segregationist move, Elon's rocket fiascos, the CDC's measles rehires, TSA labor rights, and Democratic Leadership's anger over… protests against Trump? They also touch on Trump's complete confusion over fundamental immigration law amid another authoritarian power trip. Ryan Grim then joins, as he, Sam, and Emma first attempt to tackle the insanity of Trump's nonsensical economic agenda grounded in... repeated but (so far) brief stints of tariffs against our closest trade partners, looking to Greek Economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis' attempt to define Trump's economic ideology by its desire to spur US exports via economic turmoil and dollar depreciation, with this ongoing tariff war against Canada and Mexico supposedly serving to show Europe we mean business… despite it obviously making the agenda (and the man pushing it) look unserious, weak, and ineffective. After briefly touching on the possibility of this tariff scheme to serve as an repeatable pump-and-dump scam, Grim and the MR Crew dive deep into Joe Rogan's Billionaire Experience podcast, as they assess the ridiculousness of the blatant lies and wild conspiracy spread by Joe's Big Tech buddies, attacking everything from the CFPB to Frank Zappa, before shifting to some hope-inspiring GOP infighting as Elon Musk's path-of-destruction begins to haunt the cabinet faithful carrying out his orders. Wrapping up, Ryan, Sam, and Emma look to the ongoing struggle of Democratic leadership to act like an opposition party, and explore the potential of an actual challenge to the Democratic establishment. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle Al Green's killer appearance on Democracy Now! in the wake of his across-the-aisle censuring over his protest of Trump's speech to a joint Congress, and parse through the stupidity of right-wing grifters who still can't grasp the concept of taxation. Mr. Flamboyant from Sonoma County unpacks Dem messaging, Rusty from Sacramento on Rep. Ami Bera's vote to censure Al Green, Patricia from Central Coast discusses the GOP's commitment to Musk's money, and Owen, the final California caller of the day, explores pressuring progressive Dems on challenging leadership.

Vivimos tiempos de transformaciones tan aceleradas que constantemente debemos estar aprendiendo nuevos conceptos que definen los cambios profundos que controlan nuestras vidas. Uno de estos es el tecnofeudalismo. Esta nueva categorización se utiliza para explicar las condiciones que han hecho de las gigantescas corporaciones tecnológicas las dueñas del poder económico, cultural, educativo y político del mundo de hoy. Como se deduce, el término alude a una analogía con el sistema de los señores feudales de la Edad Media, pero adaptado a la era digital y la economía globalizada, de modo que los señores feudales amos de las “Big Tech” obtienen su principal insumo, no de actividades productivas como en el pasado (o incluso especulativas) sino de las rentas de uso de las plataformas, de la nube; razón por la cual se les conoce a esos amos como los nubelistas. Se trata entonces del triunfo de la renta sobre los beneficios que somete al vasallaje a casi todos porque casi todos -incluidos los viejos capitalistas- somos ahora “siervos de la nube”. Así pues, los nubelistas controlan las plataformas y los algoritmos en línea que condicionan las actividades diarias de miles de millones de personas en el mundo, desde la comunicación, el consumo, el entretenimiento, la educación y las nuevas formas de trabajo. Son Meta, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Microsoft y Apple en Estados Unidos. ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent, WeChat o AntFinancia en China. Poseen el control de la información y los recursos digitales, lo que los convierte además en actores políticos, que han aprovechado las vicisitudes de la gobernanza (tanto en democracia como en sistemas verticales de control de poder). Como sea, operan de manera dominante. Para conocer más de este término acuñado en los últimos años por destacados economistas como el francés Cédric Duran y el griego Yanis Varoufakis, conversaremos con el especialista en estrategia digital y producción de contenidos, Esteban Mora.

DeepSeek has upended the AI industry with open-source models that rival OpenAI's GPT-4, shaking the global tech and financial order. But its rise also raises urgent questions about security, economic power, and AI's future. In this live discussion, Yanis Varoufakis and Malaysia-based entrepreneur and commentator Arnaud Bertrand will explore the fallout, hosted by Mehran Khalili. How does DeepSeek's model challenge monopolistic “cloud capital” like Amazon's Alexa? Does it prove that cutting-edge AI no longer requires vast computational resources? And with its data stored on Chinese servers, is AI becoming the new frontline in U.S.-China tensions? Beyond the tech, this is a battle over power—financial, political, and military.

Donald Trump's long promised trade war has begun, sort of - the US president threatened to slap tariffs on America's biggest trading partners, before backtracking and striking a deal with Mexico and Canada. But a 10% tariff on Chinese goods has come into force and Beijing has retaliated by imposing hefty levies on a range of American imports and vowing to investigate Google over antitrust allegations.  So will Trump's tariff wars totally backfire? And how should other world leaders, including Keir Starmer, react? In this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Greece's former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and Erica York of the Tax Foundation think tank. Produced by Calum Fraser, Silvia Maresca, Rob Thomson, Ka Yee Mak and Amani Hughes.
