@n_dimension
Well, it is #Kravietz ’s right to assert an opinion of course. Although, it doesn’t help his argument that he cherry picks #Varoufakis statements out of context, nor that I was unable to navigate to the actual source of these fragments from his blog notes to judge for myself. A classic case of pushing one’s argument with fragments stiched together for support (there is a term for that but I won’t use it here).Be that as it may. If I were to pidgeonhole a writer in a box, I would do so from reading them, listening to their interviews and take it all in the context it was written and spoken before settling on an informed opinion. Relying on second hand, and in this case third hand information to make a decision is bound to lead to errors of judgement IMHO.
/Now I feel I can ‘leave it there’/
Thank you for your patience.

Prof Yannis Varoukakis is, if anything, controvertial but also a great communicator and explainer of all things economics. I’ve always enjoyed reading him. In this case however, Varoufakis appears alarmist and the frightening thing about it all is that the scenario he unfolds in his article is very possible, too close to probable to ignore.
“Unlike Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill—who fretted over precisely when markets might fail—neoliberals declared the market infallible. Even when Wall Street cratered our economies, they insisted that mortal intervention would only make things worse. That suited the financiers perfectly. But that era is over.
A new form of capital is ascending: cloud capital—networked algorithmic machines that grant their owners remarkable powers to modify our behaviour. And just as financiers needed neoliberalism, today’s tech lords need a new ideology to legitimise their rule. I call it techlordism.”

Journalaist Aleksandar Brezar compared statements from Yanis #Varoufakis article “Why I went to Moscow” with #Russia narratives. Not surprisingly, he found almost 100% compliance (the quoted block is Varoufakis, then Brezar’s comment):
Russia also has the right to seek security by demanding, as it has done for three decades, that Nato stay out of… Ukraine.
Putin: “Over the past 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement… (NATO) continued to expand despite our protests and concerns.”
Ukraine becomes in the 21st century what Austria used to be during the Cold War: a neutral but armed European country.
Peskov, March 2022: Russia would accept “the Austrian model” as “a certain compromise”.
The European Union unfreezes Russia’s assets and removes all sanctions.
Putin’s truce demands, Russian Foreign Ministry speech, June 2024: “All Western sanctions against Russia should be lifted.”
Ukraine becomes… a neutral but armed European country with its territorial integrity and political sovereignty jointly guaranteed by all European countries, plus Russia, under the auspices… of the United Nations.
Russia’s March 2022 draft treaty: “Ukraine should agree to permanent neutrality in return for international security guarantees from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council: Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.”
Signatories shall agree on gradual elimination across Europe of certain categories of weapons, including nuclear.
Russian MFA draft treaty with US, December 2021: “The Parties shall eliminate all existing infrastructure for deployment of nuclear weapons outside their national territories.”
Europe’s leaders chose forever war.”
Many in the West have called it Putin’s forever war. Varoufakis flips it and blames Russia’s ongoing all-out invasion on Europe. “Forever war” is repeated, but Varoufakis doesn’t state who started it anywhere in the article.
He does mention “war’s commencement,” as if it’s a natural disaster that “commences” on its own.
Varoufakis avoids using the word “occupied” for Ukrainian lands throughout. The Donbas and “other territories” are “disputed” and “under Russian control”.
Crimea — illegally annexed in 2014 — is not mentioned once in the entire article. There is no mention of the ICC warrant against Putin, either. Or Russian war crimes.
Yet Varoufakis says that “all war refugees will have the right to return to their pre-2014 homes.” Not 1991, when Ukraine declared independence. No, 2014, when Russia illegally annexed Crimea.
Varoufakis also uses the Good Friday Agreement as a possible model. Except the agreement wasn’t signed while one country was bombing another and kidnapping its children.
Finally, Varoufakis says he visited Moscow last week for an “investment conference” and describes people in attendance as “Russian civil society.” The Russian civil society has been systematically dismantled since February 2022.
Oh, and he said that in Moscow, he also danced for peace. Yet now back home, he is advocating for what Russia wants and for what would effectively represent Ukraine’s capitulation, despite his pre-emptive protestations.

Yanis #Varoufakis posted a long apology of his trip to #Russia this month. The full article is paywalled but the freely available fragment demonstrates clearly the scale of Varoufakis corruption - he’s repeating Moscow talking points, verbatim:
Since the invasion of Ukraine, Europe has had only two options regarding its stance toward Russia: forever war or offering Russia a sensible peace and security pact.
Whose “invasion of Ukraine”? If Varoufakis answered this question honestly for himself, the rest of the article would look like the nonsense it actually is. Because it was not some abstract force from the deep space that invaded Ukraine but the very Russia that he wants to offer a “sensible peace and security pact” a moment later.
More, precisely it’s not him who’s making the offer - he expects “Europe” to make offer to Russia, which is preceded by a clear threat of “forever war”.
https://unherd.com/2026/04/why-i-went-to-moscow/
Varoufakis simply replays the old trick of Soviet and Russian apologists of all times: presenting Russian imperialism as some kind of natural force that simply cannot be controlled by Russian leaders. As Varoufakis presents it, it was not Putin who made the choice to invade Ukraine in 2022 (a moronic one, as everyone admits), it just kind of “happened”. And thus it’s not up to Europe to “offer Russia a sensible peace pact” or “forever war”. But again, it would be not Russia’s choice to wage the “forever war”, it just has to. Because why? Varoufakis doesn’t explain.
But I can - Russian imperialism believes in its inherent right to own Central and Eastern European nations, regardless of international agreements or pacts it signed before, and the least it’s worried about the choice of the nations in question. “Security” for Russia means an inherent right to interfere in internal affairs of these countries, including their choice of street names, ownership of their industry or economic alliances they belong to. This “security” also automatically includes Russia’s right to invade, which is precisely why Russian leadership in 2010 presented air-defence (!) batteries in Poland as “escalation”, just as it presented defensive fortifications in Ukraine in 2019. It’s logical - their defense interferes with Russia’s offensive plans, therefore it’s “security issue” for Russia.

Some can't explain Chomsky's relation to #Epstein, given that the guy is in his 90s and obviously his pecker isn't cut for such adventures.
What his relation shows, is that #Chomsky is in the same club as #Putin, and #Maga/ #Bannon, Mossad/KGB.
And I'd speculate the same thing for #Varoufakis and #JeffreySachs given their euroskepticism. Maybe they're on the payroll of unsavory actors?
Don't know of Slavoj Žižek yet.

I’m quite left myself, but I still don’t get this ”#NATO wants war” nonsense coming from the prominent #leftists
All aligned with #Varoufakis, #Stevenson & #Martinussen. Except that Europe should for it’s own sake not try to have USA solve the issue of Russia attacking Ukraine. Making ourselves irrelevant.
For our own sake, we should end the war quickly by troops in Ukraine, then reap the benefits of peace ourselves.
It is turning into #China’s proxy war to weaken us.

#EUOfficials Will Claim Ignorance of #Israel’s #WarCrimes. This Leaked Document Shows What They Knew.
The internal EU document may strip European foreign ministers of “plausible deniability” in #IsraeliWarCrimes in #Gaza, experts said.
Arthur Neslen, December 23 2024
[...] "Skoog’s analysis laid out evidence from United Nations sources of war crimes by Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah since October 7, 2023, when around 1,200 people were killed during a Hamas-led attack that prompted Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. The U.N. estimates some 45,000 people have died in Gaza since, with more than half estimated to be women and children.
"Though the assessment did not spare Hamas and Hezbollah, much of its strongest language was reserved for the Israel Defense Forces [#IDF].
"'War has rules,' the paper says. 'Given the high level of civilian casualties and human suffering, allegations focus mainly on how duty bearers, including the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), have seemingly failed to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and civilian objects against the effects of the attacks, in violation of the fundamental principles of #IHL' — international humanitarian law.
"Skoog cites an increased use of 'dehumanizing language' by Israeli political and military leaders, which may 'contribute to evidence of intent' to commit genocide.
"'Incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence — such as that made in statements by Israeli officials — constitutes a serious violation of international human rights Law and may amount to the international crime of incitement to genocide,' the paper says.
"The implications for senior officials from arms-exporting countries to Israel — such as #Germany, #Italy and #France — were not lost on Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister and secretary-general of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025.
"If the International Criminal Court finds Israeli officials guilty of war crimes, #Varoufakis told the Intercept, the very distribution of the report to EU ministers carries significance because the Europeans will not be able plead ignorance.
"'They cannot plausibly deny that they were privy to the facts given the contents of the EU’s special representative’s report that they had a duty to take under consideration,' Varoufakis said. “The world now knows that they knew they were in breach of international law because they were explicitly told so by the EU’s own special representative on human rights. History will judge them harshly. And perhaps so will the ICC.'"
