  • On Friday, January 27, 2023, DiEM25 co-founder and MERA25 leader Yanis Varoufakis gave a speech at the Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order, about the need for a new Non-Aligned Movement to "end the legalised robbery of people and Earth fuelling climate catastrophe."
    The co-founder of DiEM25 was in Cuba on an official visit upon an invitation from the Havana government and a key topic of discussion on his trip was the creation of a New Non-Aligned Movement that will aim for a New International Economic Order.

      Cuba had a revolution that was stolen by the Castro family (the Chinese had theirs stolen by the so-called "CCP"). Dictatorship IS NOT a feature of communism.
      Communism should be hyper democratic rather than a crony system of family and friends getting the plum jobs and making themselves rich.

If Greece had held on, they would have won (as Schaubel told YV privately later), and Greece would be 1000% better off already. All power to the international workers' movement with Diem25.

      "international workers"
      as if the working class people from Italy give a shit about workers in Pakistan or Brazil. or Greek working class gives a shit about Turkish working class.
      this is the nonsense about socialism and why fascism/nazism from an economic standpoint makes more sense to implement in a country.
      a pro-workers government in a country should ONLY care about the workers of its country. nothing else.
      economics isn't the only thing that matters anyways. local culture and traditions are also important in a county's society. it is part of a country's identity and heritage.

    His call to action in the last 5 minutes or so was spot on. If the past 7-8 years have taught us anything, it is the power of what he calls "cloud capital" to steer societies and change the world, for better or for worse. I think many of us did not recognize just how powerful these nascent technological platforms were until they were harnessed for destructive ends. Those of us who were paying attention were shocked at how effective these tools are at influencing the opinions and behaviors of vast populations, and we suddenly recognized the power being wielded by those who saw the dark potential sooner than we did.
    But he is absolutely right - leveraging cloud capital effectively in the coming years will be a make-or-break requirement for the large-scale social changes he is proposing. Doing it well will be the key to success, and ignoring or using it poorly will likely guarantee failure.

Where physicians who practice abroad have to send their foreign earnings BACK to the Cuban government - even when not in their home country, they can't retain the wealth they earn. There’s a Cuban saying: “We live like poor people, but we die like rich people.” Well, in a country where you don't have political freedom or cars (per capita car ownership per 1000 people in Cuba: 67; per capita car ownership per 1000 people in USA: 908), of course you're going to be more proud of how you get to DIE than how you get to live.
      "Using the ratios found for other countries, corrections were proposed to the statistics [infant mortality] published by the Cuban government: instead of 5.79 per 1000 births, the rate stands between 7.45 and 11.16 per 1000 births."

    It's quite impressive that Varoufakis has reached the interpretation he has; there's so much muddle in-between the socialist thought of the early 20th century and his fully developed understanding of contemporary imperialism. He pulls together threads from such very different fields to create this clear and incisive story.

It is mostly hungry and despert people who are willing to fight for an idea. Good luck. The world needs inspiration.

    I loved Yanis's comment about new international economic movements that should not include theocratic regimes. It should not tolerate any abuse of human rights by governments that just because of their anti-imperialist frontage for any other reasons contrary to non-aligned movements such as having a backwards religious ideology (Iran) or for competition (Russia). As I understood, The ultimate movement's goal stands for fair economic interactions that benefit the masses and eventually end human suffering where it is a lifetime struggle for the majority of society to provide the basic necessities and seek security, a peaceful place to live and be free from warmongers and exploitations of the large cooperations.

      It’s not a difficult concept. Organising human society to produce the goods and services we need for the benefit of all rather than the few that for the last 40 years have enacted the biggest transfer of wealth and power up to themselves from ordinary people. It’s pretty much how humans cooperatively engaged for millennia. Capitalism has been a relatively short experiment, neoliberalism even shorter and much more damaging, as Yano’s described in his speech. What’s your alternative solution (genuine question)?
