    Yanis Varoufakis on Socialism in the 21st Century

    I interviewed Yanis Varoufakis about his vision for what Socialism in the 21st century could look like. In this episode of 1Dime Radio, Yanis Varoufakis joins me to talk about his science fiction novel "Another Now," where he depicts his vision of what an ideal transitory socialist society could look like. To break out of capitalist realism and envision an alternative to the dystopia of Techno-Feudalism, Yanis Varoufakis proposes a new model of democratic socialism and outlines the specific ways it would work.

We discuss examples of the infamous "Trotskyist to Neoconservative pipeline," such as Lyndon LaRouche, James Burnham, and Irving Kristol. We speculate about the intellectual, psychological, and social factors behind these political shifts and their relation to the culture of the left. In The Backroom on Patreon, Varn and I go deep into the lore of contemporary examples of famous leftists "leaving the left" as well as the phenomenon of the "post-left" whereby people reject the left-right binary.
