Yanis Varoufakis: How Capitalism Works -- and How It Fails (TWO of TWO)
June 26, 2018, 1:13 p.m.
There are few people with the expertise, life experience and conviction that empower them to challenge the current economic system that is called capitalism. Yanis Varoufakis is one of them and he goes a step further than most by proposing reforms - not just for his home Greece, and the European Economic Union of which Greece is part, but for the banking systems that dominate the world these days.
Yanis Varoufakis was already an internationally known economist and academic when he was elected to the Greek parliament as a member of the Syriza party. At the height of the Greek debt crisis he served as Minister of Finance from January to July 2015.
Varoufakis denounced the troika of lenders for forcing Greece to accept bailout loans that then were used to bail out the banks that had lent to Greece. Varoufakis said that this was a transfer of losses from private banks to Greece's and Europe's taxpayers - similar to the 2008 bailout of banks in the US â and he resigned as finance minister.
Varoufakis argues that in 2008 the capitalist system received a mortal blow that is slowly becoming apparent and will lead to another crash. One consequence of economic inequities is the rise of fascism in Europe and in the US. Donald Trump is not unique to the US, Varoufakis says, he is everywhere.
But there is another positive legacy from the US that might protect democracy from capitalism. Varoufakis is an expert on the American New Deal and he proposes that a new New Deal for the European Union, and ultimately the world, can protect democracy from capitalism.
In the previous TUC Radio program you heard Varoufakis' May 2018 speech at Town Hall, Seattle. In this program he answers questions from the audience beginning with: What is the role of economists in empowering people.

Survivors of Chicago Police Torture Testify
June 25, 2018, 4:01 p.m.
Celebrating 45 years of Unity, Organization and Struggle, the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, the lead organization in the movement to gain civilian control of the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to end the impunity that protects racist and criminal behavior within CPD ranks, held a "Weekend of People Power.
Speakers recount their experience at the hands of unprincipled and corrupt policemen or as family of someone wrongly convicted due to a tortured confession. The trauma and loss of trust remains present to this day. Jazmine Salas of the Alliance provides an overview of Chicago's unique history in that both the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago have acknowledged that the CPD has used torture to obtain confessions. Some of the policemen, who were well known to frame Black and Latino youth remain on the force today underscoring the necessity of winning CPAC to answer the call for justice.

#538 -- Howard Zinn on Lies, War, and History
June 25, 2018, 9:02 a.m.
A classic talk by progressive historian Howard Zinn. Zinn spoke in Boston, at an antiwar "teach-in," on September 25, 2001--just before the U.S. launched its war against Afghanistan.
Zinn spoke of governments that lie to their people-- particularly the United States government. Governments especially lie as they launch unnecessary wars--for instance against Mexico, Spain, and Vietnam. Average citizens can empower themselves by learning and remembering real history.

In today's full-hour show, we feature a discussion with Palestinian Niam Ateek, Episcopal priest and director of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem. Others include Journalist Max Blumenthal (moderating), and Tarek Abuata of Friends of Sabeel North America.
Reverend Ateek tells of the horror when the Zionist soldiers came and evicted him (then age 11), his parents, and 9 siblings from their longtime home which they loved. They were allowed to take only what they could carry.
Later they were permitted a brief visit to the area. They hoped to visit that beloved home, but its Israeli occupants rudely turned them away.
This was a presentation of the Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center. It is introduced by the moderator, Max Blumenthal.

The Poor Peoples Campaign Is Picking Up Steam
with
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber president of Repairers of the Breach. An author, preacher, and professor, he is chief architect of the Forward Together Moral Movement and The Poor Peoples Campaign
and
Rev. Graylan Hagler, senior pastor at the Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington, D.C., who has spent a lifetime challenging racism, militarism and poverty, and whose energies are now committed to building the Poor Peoples Campaign
In December 1967, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., announced a plan to bring together poor people from across the country for a march on Washington to demand better jobs, better homes, better education"better lives than the ones they were living. Dr. King was in the midst of organizing the Poor Peoples Campaign when he was assassinated in Memphis, fighting for the economic rights, fighting for the union rights and the dignity of the sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. In tribute to Dr. King, which was to continue his legacy of fighting the three evils of poverty, militarism and discrimination the Poor Peoples Campaign would climax with the Solidarity Day Rally for Jobs, Peace, and Freedom on June 19, 1968. Fifty thousand people joined the 3,000 participants living at the King inspired Resurrection City encampment set up on the Washington Mall to rally around the demands of the Poor Peoples Campaign.
Today, fifty-years later the Rev. William Barber and a new cadre of activists have picked up the reins of Dr. Kings Poor Peoples Campaign, in the face of systemic racism and the national governments carefully stoked white supremacy; and in response to the greatest wealth disparity the world has ever known; in response to impending ecological devastation; and against militarism used against the worlds peoples. The cry of pain from the depths of peoples souls is growing louder and resonates as a drum beat for change and the tears have watered the parched earth of struggle and caused to sprout anew the Poor Peoples Campaign. The Poor Peoples Campaign has been refreshed and emerged to engage in direct action, through mass civil disobedience, across
the county for the enactment of policies & the concomitant practices that put need above greed. The Poor Peoples Campaign is bringing together we the people, collectivizing our voices to form a mighty chorus to take control of the narrative and shift the discussion from greed to need. The Poor Peoples Campaign is gathering its forces for a mass mobilization in Washington, D.C. driven by the percussive rhythms of peoples yearnings to turn the promise of democracy and equal rights into a reality " to put peoples needs above corporate greeds!
