In this wide-ranging conversation on Democracy Now!, Yanis Varoufakis cuts through the noise surrounding Donald Trump’s latest headlines — the so-called “Board of Peace,” threats against Greenland, talk of Gaza as real estate, and explains what’s really going on.
This isn’t chaos or impulsiveness, it’s a plan. A plan to replace international law and democratic institutions with something much older and far more dangerous: corporate power backed by political force. What we’re witnessing is the construction of a new kind of empire, where private charters matter more than the United Nations and where peace is reduced to a business deal.
Yanis Varoufakis draws a stark line back to the East India Company, warning that the world is drifting toward a form of rule we thought had been left behind with colonialism. And, crucially, he explains why this project is succeeding: because Europe is helping it along — through silence, submission, and years of undermining the very international rules it now claims to defend.
From Gaza to Greenland, from Davos to Brussels, this is not a transition. It’s a rupture. And unless it’s confronted, it will define the world we’re forced to live in.
The time for resistance is now.
