In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I interview Yanis Varoufakis 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 TechnoFeudalism, Yanis Varoufakis proposes a bold new vision of democratic socialism and outlines the specific ways it would work.
Will we get Democratic Socialism or Technofeudalism? What Could Socialism Look Like? Feel Free to Comment your thoughts on what what you think on the political vision of Yanis Varoufakis.
