 Γεια σας! Αυτή είναι η Γιάννης Βελφάκης, με τη δημοκρατία της Ευρωπαϊκής Δημοκρατίας. Βοηθούντας στις εβέντες του 2021, είναι ευκαιριασμένος, πιο ευκαιριασμένος για εμένα, ότι η Δημοκρατία 25 δεν έχει ever been more necessary than today. Σε αυτό το βίντεο θα προσπαθώ να σημαίνω με εσένας, κάποιες ιδέες γιατί είναι πιο ευκαιριασμένος, και τι πρέπει να είναι η δημοκρατία του Ευρωπαϊκού Δημοκρατίας, ένα δημοκρατία που μπορείς να μας σημαίνει. Οι δυνατόχοι δυνατόχοι της πανδέμικας έχουν προσπαθεί, εξεχθεί, ότι η δημοκρατία είναι αλλαγή και καλύτερη, και ότι είναι να είναι πραγματικά με την Ολυγέρκη, στον δημοκρατία της Ολυγέρκης. Οι δημοκρατές της Γ7, έχουν παράδει around 9000-10000-1billion dollar, που είναι 9-10000000-1billion dollar, πολλές δυνατόχοι για την πανδέμικα δημοκρατία του Ευρωπαϊκού Δημοκρατίας, αλλά μόνο πιστεύω ότι είναι 9, δημοκρατή, 9. Οι 9-10000000-1billion dollar, around 3.5% have ended in the pockets of the Jeff Beges, the Zuckerbergs, but 20 oligarchs around the world. Είναι πολύ αστονικό. The very same people who are against the state, who scream blue murder if the little people get a small increase to their unemployment benefit or a greater sum of money being spent on national health services, they have no problem with the state printing amount and the ages of money and giving it to them. During the same time, the same two years of the pandemic. The fossil fuel industry has conspired to ensure that COP26, the great gathering in Glasgow a few months ago, that was supposed to be humanity's last chance to avert climate breakdown. That chance has been absolutely destroyed on purpose by design. Yes, they arrived in Glasgow and they made wonderful pronouncements and they even talked about 130 trillion dollars being in the service of humanity, but in the end. All they did was to use the false promise of net zero in order to snuff out any real hope of a proper green transition. And then you have Mark Zuckerberg with a remarkable, daisious visionary dystopic announcement that he wants to turn Facebook into a 3D space, digital space in which people interact, play, work together, entertain themselves, transact, do everything in this digital realm that will belong entirely to him. This is no longer capitalism. It is a kind of supercharged, turbocharged feudalism only of a digital variety. Elon Musk may be talking about taking us all to Mars, but of course this is just rubbish. But Mark Zuckerberg's dystopia is just around the corner. What he's planning to do is eminently feasible within the next few months, maybe years. So how do we stop them? How do we put the demos back into democracy? Because what we have is not democracy for decades now, if not forever. We have oligarchy, which is becoming even more oligarchic and concentrated with periodic elections just to confirm and to legitimize that regime. What do we do? How do we oppose them? The answer must be that we too progressives must internationalize our activities. So Zuckerberg, Wall Street, fossil fuel companies, they are acting internationally. They are transnational in their thinking and in their actions. We need to do the same. DiEM25 is the first transnational progressive movement where we all meet, whether we are Germans, Greeks, Irish, French, Lebanese for that matter, it really doesn't matter at all. We are one transnational movement. Recently we set up a second Merot25 party. Merot25, the original one is a Greek party. I represent it in parliament here in Greece. Now we have Merot25 in Germany. It is the same movement. We all share the same party movement infrastructure. What we must now do is create such parties where they are absolutely necessary and in other places like in the United Kingdom, use DiEM25's infrastructure in order to bring together existing political forces, something we have been doing in the context of the very successful Save Our NHS campaign. During 2022 we are going to be rewriting our manifesto. Our original 2016 manifesto was a very important document but now it needs to be updated. We need to radicalize ourselves because the situation has become radically more harsh for the many and much easier for the tiny, tiny majority that control the world's fate and in the process do untold damage to it. DiEM25 and Merot25 will be working very hard across Europe at the analytical level, the cultural level. We have DiEM voice, our artistic platform. We have Meta, the center for post-capital civilization because we are already in post-capitalism except that it is heavily and awfully uncivilized. It's the opposite of civilization, it's barbarous. We are talking about post-capitalism that is civilized, a kind of ecological socialism in other words, so as not to mince our words. While at the same time we need to entrench ourselves in the movements, in the neighborhoods, in the factories, in the warehouses, while at the very same time connecting with the precarious out there which does not fit anymore in the neat categories that the left used to have capitalists on one hand and proletariat on the other. Now if you are asking yourself what role you can play in all this in DiEM25, well don't ask, just do. If you haven't already joined DiEM25 along with Noam Jomsky, Noam Iklein, Slavo Izizek, Karolijn Lukas and tens of thousands of progressive activists and thinkers from around the world, not just Europe, well do it. Visit DiEM25.org and join. Of course joining is not enough, you need to participate. DiEM25 is a grassroots movement and we need political organization as I said, in the neighborhood, in the region, in the state, in Europe, in the academy, in the trade unions movement, everywhere where we need to bring the message of a rapture with the way we have been doing things. What do I mean by rapture? A radical departure from the private ownership of the means of production and from financialization. But there is this other form of important activity which is not tantamout to activism per se. Donating. Because let's face it, we live in capitalism, for post-capitalism or techno-fidelism as I say, it doesn't matter, money still makes things happen and DiEM25 needs your donation. Why all this? Because our opportunities to save the planet for humanity and to continue to live life as autonomous human beings, not as playthings of Mark Zuckerberg, of Wall Street, of the Frankfurt banks, of the oligarchy in Brussels, in Athens, in Rome, those opportunities are narrowing. This is the time for DiEM25, which is, I insist, more relevant today than it ever was, to rise up and to make a difference and you need to be a part of it. Copy DiEM.
