In his new book, ‘Technofeudalism: What killed Capitalism’, Yanis Varoufakis explores how giant tech firms, both in the US and China are expanding their control over the planet. His analysis is that, whilst material resources certainly matter, the real battle ground is over digital real estate. Aaron sat down with Yanis to talk about how Europe’s power has faded, Elon Musk’s wet dreams and why the US is really afraid of China.

“Who´s going to represent Europe? You just ask yourself that question and then suddenly you realize how irrelevant Europe is, because it used to be Merkel, Merkel had the political power and Clout to do it. Schultz doesn’t, Macron doesn’t, why not only because they are peepsqueaks compared to Merkel, they are, but because anything they say will be Vetoed by the government of Poland, the government of Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, who considered them to be Putin´s handmaidens. both Schultz and Macron.

dragging Putin to the international criminal court, now I would like all these bastards to be dragged to the National Court, including Tony Blair, right, of course I’d love that, but how are you going to drag Putin to the international Court, you have to take Moscow, there´s no other way or you’re going to have to incite a coup in Moscow, that will bring about regime change, if that happens, because Putin has killed off all the progressives, whoever takes over from Putin will be worse than Putin.”
