Unfortunately for Varoufakis who is a self-proclaimed Trekkie and Liberal Marxist, the technology isn't there yet to backup his dream of a more equable, StarTrek-like world, and while we may grow enough food to feed to world; energy and water are still treated as zero-sum games with the inevitable conflict. Still, I greatly admired him for his stand against Scholz and the bullies from the EU, IMF and World Bank; who did everything to ignore and silence him over the Greek austerity measures in 2015. In a way his sacking which allowed Greece to capitulate, made him a celebrity and elevated his cause. "If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine." Still waiting for his grand theory comparing between Star Wars (Feudalism/Roman Empire) and StarTrek (Liberal Commmunism) as SciFi greatly influences how he considers the world, including writing his own dystopian/utopian fiction.
