"Labor is fully commodified" doesn't make any sense. Is this guy a Marxist? Marx didn't believe labor was commodified, he believed labor-power was commodified.

Labor isn't fully commodified, but it could be. As slavery.

Syriza had a dumb as hell strategy which could only have worked by continuing to rally the working class together after their election and either force change in the EUs attitudes towards Greece through using that power against Greek and international ruling classes or convince the working class that it was necessary to leave the Euro (and therefore probably the EU). They did neither so got nowhere in negotiations, got another lovely bail out which solved nothing and lost all their credibility. Blaming him directly is not fair though.

Especially seeing as he was never a member of Syriza and resigned because the party didn't want to pursue those strategies.

They did neither so got nowhere in negotiations, got another lovely bail out which solved nothing and lost all their credibility. More or less. Syriza's negotiating strategy crumbled as soon as Schauble and his band of goblins called Tsipras' Grexit bluff. It was patently obvious by the time of the sham referendum that Tsipras had never anticipated actually having to leave the EU and had completely focused his strategy around renegotiating the Greek debt; failing that, he limply conceded and has lost just about every ounce of credibility. It's hard to tell how much blame Varoufakis should shoulder. He's on the record back when he was still working with Syriza that - and I'm paraphrasing - he'd rather Greece continue to eat a reasonable amount of poo poo, rather than triggering Grexit, destabilizing the EU, and having to eat an enormous tidal wave of poo poo all at once. My problem with his stance then was that it had become clear that the foreign lenders would absolutely not budge on the issue of a large debt reduction, and that there was no hope of Greece as it remained in the EU of ever producing enough of a surplus to escape its debt. All that the can kicking has accomplished is ensuring that, when Greece finally does Grexit, it's going to be worse than if they had simply triggered it then.

one of the best things about Chapo is the wave of (at least) interesting left wing podcasts that are following in its wake. I've been listening to Discourse Collective, which is hosted by some of the Ancom twitter boyz and it's pretty dang good. These guys are libertarian socialists so if you're a Leninist or and other kind of statist then prepare to get triggered, but they're at least unapologetic Marxists.

When I was in Greece we went out on a boat tour with my Greek uncle's friends. They pointed to a big cliff that sort of looks like 3 dudes' heads and told us that people used to say those were the petrified kings of Greece. My uncle says "Oh yes, there is Yanis Varoufakis, on quiet nights you can hear him lying." Thats my Varoufakis anecdote. Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Mar 13, 2017 |

I feel like Varoufakis was on HardTalk or something not too long ago; it didn't sound like the interview went especially well for him at some points so I imagine it might have been hardtalk
