@@buddy1155 That's one issue

@@buddy1155 well Volt want to reduce immigration through legal action, I mean with Volt policy all the economic migrant will be stopped and olso a lot of refugees will have problems

@@fabiocavaleri You probably haven't read their manifesto, VOLT want to have open corridors so anyone can safely enter the EU without any hurdles and they want to be generous with the issue of permanent resident status. Frontex must be broken down and build up from the bottom into an organisation that support the movement of immigrants.

My impression is that Volt is a much more liberal political entity, they seem to enjoy free market and don't advocate for heavy public control on the economy; they also seem care more about civil rights and less about social and economic rights for European citizens. Diem25, even when discussing the same themes as Volt, focuses more on criticizing the aspects of capitalism that are causing the issues we have to face, and is therefore much more politically radical: they advocate for a much deeper reform of the status quo.

@@zenegg99 I think his point was that it can appeal to the Center without changing its policies, and therefore shouldn't be called '"Left-wing" as it's keeping away potential voters.

As far as I know DiEM25 doesn't call itself Left-wing. In Greece at least, where the associated party has gotten into parliament, it followed a big-tent strategy in the election, only requiring espousal of some basic principles for a person to become part of the party and run in the elections. It ended up having candidates opposed to the Prespa Agreement (this position being considered Right-wing in the Greek spectrum), and at least one Classical Liberals who considered modern Capitalism corrupted. Only Left-leaning candidates ending up being elected, probably because that was the part of the political spectrum most of the voting base associated with, but the party always remained open.

Did you even see the video you are commenting about?

austerity was not forced on elected bureaucrats. was imposed by the prime ministers of the countries that asked for a bailout after the 2008 crisis. the bailout had conditions and one of them was to solve the country's economic problems, which in the case of Portugal, Greece, Spain and Italy were regimes of high social spending above. the capacity of the state in the least productive people in society, that is, civil servants and the elderly. leaving the youngest aside, unemployed and unable to innovate. it was also imposed by the international monetary fund, which is not even related to the eu. basically what was intended was that the countries of southern europe would stop spending more than the taxes collected, leading to an increase in debt. The policies of this party are contradictory. how can the debt emergency be resolved while ending austerity? however small, there has to be austerity. austerity only means solemnity and seriousness. a state that spends more than it produces is not sustainable. and if the debt is not invested in increasing national productivity, (which is usually not the case in our countries, we all know that a lot of our money runs off via corruption and inefficiency) lets take the example of italy: how to solve italy problem? I resolve: create a committee to reassess the bureaucracy of the public system to facilitate business creation and foreign investment. simplification of the tax system, to make it easier to pay and harder to hide. reduction of the thousands of unelected bureaucrats who feed on the Italian public system and make the government highly inefficient and oblivious, why can't italy solve your problems? because of a complex and unstable national policy that makes solving the country's problems an impossible task, since few prime ministers have finished their mandate.

​@@Duck-wc9de I have no idea why there are so many people that point to the so called "unelected bureaucrats" as the evil of this age. You can't elect every single public servant. And even if it was possible, everything would be extremely inefficient because for every election you would have some people that got elected that have to learn what they need to do. And furthermore, the vast majority of these bureaucrats don't choose anything. They simply do the ordinary work, the decisions are taken by elected officials. For real, these "unelected bureaucrats" are the scapegoats for the last decades. If you have no idea how a state and his administration works and you feel that something is not right, just say "those damn unelected bureaucrats" in the same way people that still live in the '90s say "those damn youngsters with their damn phones". Please, just stop.

Mate, without technocratic policies many countries including italy and russia would have collapsed. Also there have been almost zero innovation in europe when compared to US which has a smaller population and much much more neo liberal system. Which means EU is failing because it not as economical liberal as it should be not because it had old remnants of liberalism still in places from 19th century that is what is running the union right now not destroying it.

I think the implications of their plans are that they borrow the €2.5 trillion over the five years for the explicit purpose of investing it into feasibilie and high-paying jobs, so that the GNI of the nations across Europe would be able to pay it back from the surplus of said new and high-paying jobs. On paper, it's not exactly an irrational idea; it's a pretty straightforward investment model, but it's waaaay too optimistic and vague. That's a colossal shit-ton of money to invest over a short span of time on jobs that do not, and potentially will not exist by the time you've blown all your money. Idk if I'd go so far as to call it “fiscally irresponsible” (I'm not at all an economist), but the practicality of it seems overly optimistic.

Easily: borrow heavy and then refuse to pay your debts. He even proposed perpetual bonds for Greece. Reading comments here, saying DIEM is an interesting party scares me.

It's not the same thing to borrow from a private bank or another country and to borrow from your own Central Bank. The way it is intended is to issue EU bonds which would sell like hot cakes, cause they'd backed by countries like Germany and the Netherlands and have high returns, which would soak up the MASSIVE savings sitting idly in company hands and then use that money to invest. Boosts the economy, creates long term quality jobs and even the rich guys make a buck off of the bonds. Win win. Plus, print more money like the US, China, Japan, etc. People think it's a bad thing, but in deflationary times like this, the EU is the only idiotic entity not doing it.

@@herculeskoutalidis1369 Just because a lot of people say they're mutually exclusive doesn't mean it's true. It's dependent on the nation, where you draw the line between us and them. I see all Europeans as being one group, so that's the nation for me. I see unification as beneficial for everyone, both on the local level, but also on the greater European level. I'm advocating for civic nationalism, not necessarily ethnic nationalism. As you know there are many types of nationalism. Nationalism values independence and sovereignty. I know that if I'm small, others will impose their will on me... Americans, Russians, Chinese. It's a dog eat dog world, the big fish eat the little fish. But if I join forces with the rest of Europe, I will be part of the big fish group, then the foreigners will have to negotiate with an equal, not a subordinate. That's what independence and sovereignty are about. Remember the Cold War, Americans and Soviets playing their games with our lives/countries? Pawns aren't independent and sovereign. That was us... both East and West. Sure, life was better for Western pawns, but a pawn is still a pawn and it's always dependent on the whims of the player. I want us to be a player, not a pawn. And look at our culture. Yes, we have a great cultural past... but what about the present? We're just copies of the Americans. We follow their trends... not a bad thing in and of itself, but it leaves a mark, we become less European and more American. And it would be the same with any large power... it happens to be the Americans, but it could be the Russians or Chinese just as easily. Or look at science or research... Americans lead, we merely follow. I don't want us to follow, I want us to stand on our feet and lead ourselves and rediscover our own values, what made us us...

Taking that approach is a necessity for dealing with Europe's Rising Far Right.

Then migration within EU is mostly abuse (like slavery) of people in urgent need, against local workers, in order to press labor cost; so this seems fair to me to really take action against this.

Regregards from Poland!

Greetings from eastern EU.

Yeah, I am very curious what they heck they are talking about with the cultural pillar. I wonder if DiEM is being intentionally vague. Head cannon: there are some members who are like "This is REALY important! We have to address the culture wars!" but then there are others who are like "If we say ANYTHING specific AT ALL we will be nailed to a cross." So the compromise is "Yeah, we need to come together and end the culture wars i guess!"

This is no different from "How do we pay for it" to M4A in America when we Europeans "have paid for it" for a century. By this tragic monetary policy you mean the thing we've been doing at an unparalleled rate for the past 20 months with the world not ending? Either way it isn't even necessary, equivalent taxation and a wealth tax would do just fine and actually move the market that's been stuck at inflating the price of paintings, houses and blue chip stock so the wealthy get wealthier in a cyclic fashion.

They're suggesting borrowing on an EU level. Banking on that the EU is literally to big to fail.

The Left wing parties historically run much smaller deficits then the right wing ones, so I would not worry about that. Case and point: the Democrats and the Republicans - the USA deficit was always higher under Republicans. At the same time the EU budget has been having surplus very often. So there is money and lot's of it in the system

I think there is a fundamental difference between crisis time and pure stagnation. It is conceivable to raise spending during a crisis but their plan is on a much longer time period and scale. That combined with the other macro economic proposals , such as the UBD argued here which is all but a taxation on companies’ profits, makes me wonder on the theoretical impacts of that policy on employment. All in all, the argued policies appeal to a mix which seems unfeasable to me, but I could be mistaking

@@henriburg4450 I mean all of your concerns are based upon ancient economic theory. Increasing the supply of money is fine and will not cause any inflation at all as long as it's greater than economic growth, if you don't raise supply of currency to that level you will actually see demand pull inflation. However if you attempt to reduce aggregate demand you will most likely end up in a stagnation point where the economy produces way below it's potential on the Philips curve, this is what happened with IMF austerity measures at every point. A universal dividend, universal inheritance etc... All measures of reducing wealth disparities would make other AD inflating measures unnecessary as they would directly provide savings to most people or at least discretionary spending during periods of greater wealth growth. Ie, inheritance spikes (such as the boomer apocalypse) or periods of greater economic growth. Is it a tax? Yeah that's kind of the point, but that's how you maintain the capitalist system running and avoid millions dying due to the unavoidable ups and downs of the business cycle and consequently don't end up in Blade Runner 2021

Kind of it’s from a social wealth fund.

That's the problem with your European project. For you it consists in the total opening of the borders and in the excessive mixing of the populations in order to break the national identities and to create a false Western identity based on multiculturalism with English as common language. In short, your only objective is to transform Europe into a second United States. It is sure that with this kind of projects more and more people are hostile to the European Union which is the jackal of Troy of these ideas.

@@Spallding75 first off, get with the times. Second off, why would the EU not support national or local culture?

@0 0 no..... I never said that. You really need to catch up on your reading mate. I said fairer, as in more democratic and listening to it's people and caring for each and every single one.

@0 0 alright, what about you take an aspirin, a nice cup of camile tea, and calm down a bit and then we can both go our seperate ways knowing that we both have an opinion and commenting on youtube comments is not going to change anybodies mind. Deal? Deal. Have a good one :)

You can already lean money to countries and companies, you just buy bonds

It very much is. DiEM25 is a cult for Varoufakis stans

It's only one European party with national chapters

They already did...

It sounds like what the stereotypical federal European superstate would be like. I'm from the federal American superstate though, so that's my naïve take.

@@eksortso what do you mean? Diem25 doesn't support the federalism of Europe and even have stated that they would support leaving EU if their demands aren't met

@@2hotflavored666 that's the joke.

@@Myname-cb9ru Oh shit you're right, misread the comment.

Why!? It’s obviously nothing but mad dreams and Communism!

You can join the movement even if you're from outside the EU. You can decide how much you want to pay yourself. You can pay 0 euros a month and have access to the internal discussions and events, if you'd like. (:

@@peterfireflylund you call anything you dislike communism.

@@mr.p215 no, not all. Some things I don’t like, I call Islam. Some things I don’t like, I call plutocracy. Some things I don’t like, I call oligarchy. Some things I don’t like, I call incompetence. This, however, is clearly Communism.

@@peterfireflylund Explain how literally any of these policies are "communism"
