Yanis Varoufakis is the Former Minister of Finance of Greece and a leftist icon. I never thought I would be able to interview someone like this..Live everyda...
He is a not a Marxist in any meaningful way. His economics is Keynsian/MMT. If in light of all evidence, you still rejected the labor theory of value you have no right to call yourself Marxist.
Plenty of soc Dems and Keynesians (especially Europeans) don't want to crush Cuba and even speak supportively of it while couching their criticisms in one's of the "bureaucracy" or the Cuban state. That being said, giving the thumbs up to Cuba doesn't make you a Marxist imo
He is an economist working within the bourgeois state apparatus. If you don’t think pushing MMT/neo-Keynesian economics in that position is a good idea, not sure what to tell you. If you read and listen to him enough, you’ll see he understands and thinks very much like a radical Marxist. But the framework he has agency in allows for very little, and he tries to push as far left as possible imo. While also agitating for radicalism outside of that framework, with his books, talks, appearances etc.
You can think that he does good with his platforms and appearances and whatnot, that's a seperate thing. But simply put, if he pushes Keynesianism he is not a Marxist and that's that.
Beginning in March 2012, Varoufakis became economist-in-residence at video game publisher, Valve. He researched the virtual economy of the Steam digital delivery platform, specifically focusing on exchange rates and trade deficits.
Yeah all games with any kind of p2p shop, using real or fake money, actually need a lot of work to make sure the prices don't go ape shit in either direction
In a lot of wow servers a level 5 character could pick literally the most common flower and sell it to some max level guy on the auction house for 1 gold each (10,000 copper) , which is 100 times the value of all his equipment and all of his quests for the next day or so of gameplay.
Yanis is a left leaning economist but not quite Marxist (I don't think?), he was Greece's finance minister during the budget crisis.
P sure he is a Marxist. And even might be a Leninist, in this exact interview him and Hasan agree the dictatorship of the proletariat is necessary.

Im not sure. He has been to Cuba and has spoken positively about it.

I don't agree with his anti worker's-state views but he is pretty good overall.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
