What's making this guy so popular i wonder? The thesis here in particulr is very weak, technofeudalism is just the latest form of capitalism, it s not the end o

  Just to be clear, whomever Varoufakis is popular with, that's not Greek voters. In the recent parliamentary elections the party he leads, MeRa25, received less than 3% of the vote (2.50%) and thus missed the threshold for seats in parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2023_Greek_legislative_election#Results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2023_Greek_legislative_el... MeRa25's is row 9 in the table at the top of the section. Of course, the same parliamentary elections gave more than 3% and seats in parliament to various far-right remnants of Golden Dawn, like the "Spartans" (4.68%, 12 seats), "Victory" (3.70%, 10 seats) and "Greek Solution" (4.44%, 12 seats), and the Greek Communist Party (7.69%, 21 seats) so Varoufakis popularity is really no criterion for anything at all. At this point Greeks might next vote for Karagiozis (our version of Bozo the clown ish) for all the difference it will make.

  > technofeudalism is just the latest form of capitalism Just so you know, some people might not see that as the strong defense you seem to think it is.
