Yanis Varoufakis’s “Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism?”

Monday (October 2), I'll be in Boise to host an event with VE Schwab. On October 7–8, I'm in Milan to keynote Wired Nextfest.

Socialists have been hotly anticipating the end of capitalism since at least 1848, when Marx and Engels published The Communist Manifesto - but the Manifesto also reminds us that capitalism is only too happy to reinvent itself during its crises, coming back in new forms, over and over again:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/31/books/review/a-spectre-haunting-china-mieville.html

Now, in Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, Yanis Varoufakis - the "libertarian Marxist" former finance minister of Greece - makes an excellent case that capitalism died a decade ago, turning into a new form of feudalism: technofeudalism:

https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/451795/technofeudalism-by-varoufakis-yanis/9781847927279

To understand where Varoufakis is coming from, you need to go beyond the colloquial meanings of "capitalism" and "feudalism." Capitalism isn't just "a system where we buy and sell things." It's a system where capital rules the roost: the richest, most powerful people are those who coerce workers into using their capital (factories, tools, vehicles, etc) to create income in the form of profits.

By contrast, a feudal society is one organized around people who own things, charging others to use them to produce goods and services. In a feudal society, the most important form of income isn't profit, it's rent. To quote Varoufakis: "rent flows from privileged access to things in fixed supply" (land, fossil fuels, etc). Profit comes from "entrepreneurial people who have invested in things that wouldn't have otherwise existed."

This distinction is subtle, but important: "Profit is vulnerable to market competition, rent is not." If you have a coffee shop, then every other coffee shop that opens on your block is a competitive threat that could erode your margins. But if you own the building the coffee shop owner rents, then every other coffee shop that opens on the block raises the property values and the amount of rent you can charge.

The capitalist revolution - extolled and condemned in the Manifesto - was led by people who valorized profits as the heroic returns for making something new in this world, and who condemned rents as a parasitic drain on the true producers whose entrepreneurial spirits would enrich us all. The "free markets" extolled by Adam Smith weren't free from regulation - they were free from rents:

https://locusmag.com/2021/03/cory-doctorow-free-markets/

But rents, Varoufakis writes, "survived only parasitically on, and in the shadows of, profit." That is, rentiers (people whose wealth comes from rents) were a small rump of the economy, slightly suspect and on the periphery of any consideration of how to organize our society. But all that changed in 2008, when the world's central banks addressed the Great Financial Crisis by bailing out not just the banks, but the bankers, funneling trillions to the people whose reckless behavior brought the world to the brink of economic ruin.

Suddenly, these wealthy people, and their banks, experienced enormous wealth-gains without profits. Their businesses lost billions in profits (the cost of offering the business's products and services vastly exceeded the money people spent on those products and services). But the business still had billions more at the end of the year than they'd had at the start: billions in public money, funneled to them by central banks.

This kicked off the "everything rally" in which every kind of asset - real estate, art, stocks, bonds, even monkey JPEGs - ballooned in value. That's exactly what you'd expect from an economy where rents dominate over profits. Feudal rentiers don't need to invest to keep making money - remember, their wealth comes from owning things that other people invest in to make money.

Rents are not vulnerable to competition, so rentiers don't need to plow their rents into new technology to keep the money coming in. The capitalist that leases the oil field needs to invest in new pumps and refining to stay competitive with other oil companies. But the rentier of the oil field doesn't have to do anything: either the capitalist tenant will invest in more capital and make the field more valuable, or they will lose out to another capitalist who'll replace them. Either way, the rentier gets more rent.

So when capitalists get richer, they spend some of that money on new capital, but when rentiers get richer, them spend money on more assets they can rent to capitalists. The "everything rally" made all kinds of capital more valuable, and companies that were transitioning to a feudal footing turned around and handed that money to their investors in stock buybacks and dividends, rather than spending the money on R&D, or new plants, or new technology.

The tech companies, though, were the exception. They invested in "cloud capital" - the servers, lines, and services that everyone else would have to pay rent on in order to practice capitalism.

Think of Amazon: Varoufakis likens shopping on Amazon to visiting a bustling city center filled with shops run by independent capitalists. However, all of those capitalists are subservient to a feudal lord: Jeff Bezos, who takes 51 cents out of every dollar they bring in, and furthermore gets to decide which products they can sell and how those products must be displayed:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/28/enshittification/#relentless-payola

The postcapitalist, technofeudal world isn't a world without capitalism, then. It's a world where capitalists are subservient to feudalists ("cloudalists" in Varoufakis's thesis), as are the rest of us the cloud peons, from the social media users and performers who fill the technofuedalists' siloes with "content" to the regular users whose media diet is dictated by the cloudalists' recommendation systems:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

A defining feature of cloudalism is the ability of the rentier lord to destroy any capitalist vassal's business with the click of a mouse. If Google kicks your business out of the search index, or if Facebook blocks your publication, or if Twitter shadowbans mentions of your product, or if Apple pulls your app from the store, you're toast.

Capitalists "still have the power to command labor from the majority who are reliant on wages," but they are still mere vassals to the cloudalists. Even the most energetic capitalist can't escape paying rent, thanks in large part to "IP," which I claim is best understood as "laws that let a company reach beyond its walls to dictate the conduct of competitors, critics and customers":

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

Varoufakis points to ways that the cloudalists can cement their gains: for example, "green" energy doesn't rely on land-leases (like fossil fuels), but it does rely on networked grids and data-protocols that can be loaded up with IP, either or both of which can be turned into chokepoints for feudal rent-extraction. To make things worse, Varoufakis argues that cloudalists won't be able to muster the degree of coordination and patience needed to actually resolve the climate emergency - they'll not only extract rent from every source of renewables, but they'll also silo them in ways that make them incapable of doing the things we need them to do.

Energy is just one of the technofeudal implications that Varoufakis explores in this book: there are also lengthy and fascinating sections on geopolitics, monetary policy, and the New Cold War. Technofeudalism - and the struggle to produce a dominant fiefdom - is a very useful lens for understanding US/Chinese tech wars.

Though Varoufakis is laying out a technical and even esoteric argument here, he takes great pains to make it accessible. The book is structured as a long open letter to his father, a chemical engineer and leftist who was a political prisoner during the fascist takeover of Greece. The framing device works very well, especially if you've read Talking To My Daughter About the Economy, Varoufakis's 2018 radical economics primer in the form of a letter to his young daughter:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374538491/talkingtomydaughterabouttheeconomy

At the very end of the book, Varoufakis calls for "a cloud rebellion to overthrow technofeudalism." This section is very short - and short on details. That's not a knock against the book: there are plenty of very good books that consist primarily or entirely of analysis of the problems with a system, without having to lay out a detailed program for solving those problems.

But for what it's worth, I think there is a way to plan and execute a "cloud rebellion" - a way to use laws, technology, reverse-engineering and human rights frameworks to shatter the platforms and seize the means of computation. I lay out that program in The Internet Con: How the Seize the Means of Computation, a book I published with Verso Books a couple weeks ago:

https://www.versobooks.com/products/3035-the-internet-con

Sibiiiiiiiii! Thank you!!! I 💜 you!!! And yes please write the Greece trip/ Kook’s trip and tell us where else these hot vampires own property! 😩😩😩 As if they weren’t hundreds of years old and hot as fuck, they own villas and castles and houses all over?! 😩😩😩 Please give us as many HCs as you want!

Of course they do 😏😩 I mean djsjs not all of them obviously. Hear me out

Jungkook is the BROKEST vampire ever. Because of his curse, he couldn’t ever get a real job which in return meant that he never aquired enough money to invest it in passive income. So that man is as broke as one could get jsjsjs.

Hobi has decent amount of money. He came from a upper middle class family and saved enough money to invest in a small passive income, which has gathered a good amount these days. But because he is still technically only in his sixties, his wealth is very much in human levels still.

Jimin is the third brokest vamp of the bunch. Example given: how he had to live while he was still persumed dead. I mean, one could argue that he was in hiding and didn’t want to risk getting found out, but there is also a good possibility that he is simply broke in vampire terms. Most property he owns, Tae either bought for him or they bought it together. And then there was also the whole part of where he had to live as Namjoon’s slave for centuries, so he didn’t really have alot of opportunity to, you know, buy property. He does have a very healthy sum on his bank accounts though, mostly because of the shared property with Tae and because Tae is tranferring him money on a monthly basis.

I would place Seokjin next. This man was already wealthy when he was still human and had two properties and some factories/warehouses as well as ships in his human years and he also invested in a lot of start-ups which bring in a lot of money these days. He is actually a huge stock holder in the mobile phone market and has his fingers in other techonological fields as well. For properties he owns the one Sanguis spent their "frat years" in, owns a house in South Korea and bought Emma her own shop in town so she could expand her perfume business. He also owns an apartment complex where he gets constant income. Fun fact? OC actually rented an apartment in the complex when she first moved here, which is why she never got in trouble for randomly stopping to pay rent. She and Seokjin laugh about the coincidence these days. He gets most of his money from his countless shares though.

And now this is where it gets hard to talk about because damn those vampires are RICH jdjdjs they're old, they've seen too much and they got way too much money to spend.

Taehyung I'd place third. He's both share holder in many businesses, owner of multiple art galleries and possesses property which is used commercially, as rentals or as his private escapes. So passive income is very much guaranteed on a constant. He owns a homely cottage in the Austrian Alps, owns a chateau at the coast of France and a small farm in the French countryside, owns a little Greek ocean house and invested in apartments in Paris, New York, Hong Kong as well as London. If he spends money he spends it on new property, promising shares and other investments. If he spends fun money he spends it on trips, whatever expensive item suits his taste, art and fashion. He also regularly wires money to Jimin and ever since recently, he opened two separate accounts for Jungkook and OC where he also makes monthly deposites. Trust that this man does not feel any change in his numbers with those new tranfers. And also that he LOVES spending his money most when he can spend it on his darlings.

And then there is Yoongi. Woof woof. I would say that he and Tae aren’t that far apart actually despite their age difference. One must consider though that eventhough Yoongi’s been alive for ages, it was rather difficult to make money which can still be used in the 21st century. You get me? He does own a lot of castles though from the earlier days. The one they all currently live in he bought around the time of the French Revolution, but he owns another castle in Romania and one in Germany. He also owns a town mansion in Geneva and has a penthouse in New York, which he never uses. He won’t ever mention it, but he owns a private island in the Carribbeans and treated himself to a very secluded cottage somewhere in the deepest Canadian forests. He also forgot about it already, but he owns property in South Korea and a villa in Osaka. It brings in money as they are both used as rentals, but Yoongi hasn’t set foot in either of them in decades. He gets most of his passive income through the various rentals he owns as well as being shareholder in some of the biggest markets these days. He also regularly buys property and sells it again to a higher price. Right now he plans on buying a house with OC close to Meredith's place and he also thinks about surprising OC with her own small plant shop in town. He doesn’t transfer to their accounts, but he never says no. If anyone of the family wants something, he'll get it for them no questions asked. He will also regularly hand over his black card with a nonchalant "don't look at the numbers, princess" and he genuinely gets pouty when she wants to pay for something when he’s with her. This man always pays even if she sometimes complains about it. And no sum is ever too big for him. You remember those 100€ he gave her in Paris for a cab? Yeah that was the equivalent to a few cents for him.

I don’t know where to put Namjoon on the list because being stolen of his powers and then hidden from the world kinda just cut him off from his wealth. You know? I do believe though that in his prime, he was the richest. And also the one who spent his money on the most fucked up shit.

Part 27 of convincing you to read my Stiles x oc fanfic using dialogue from ‘Rising Tides’.

*Stiles and Zaida on a road trip*

Stiles: Wanna play truth?

Zaida: *nods boredly*

Stiles: Okay, what’s a weird food that you love?

Zaida: Vegimite on pancakes.

Stiles: *gags*

Zaida: Hey! If we’re going to play this there needs to be a zero judgement rule.

Stiles: Okay, okay, fine. It's your turn.

Zaida: If you suddenly won a million dollars, how would you spend it?

Stiles: (without hesitation) I would hire people all around the world to get up in public and dance at the same time to Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’, simultaneously creating the world's largest flash mob and Rick-roll.

Zaida: (chokes) What? Okay, I take back the ‘no judgement’ rule.

Stiles: Why, what would you do?

Zaida: Probably put it into investment properties around the world that I’d then rent out.

Stiles: Oh come on, that’s boring. Pick something better.

Zaida: Okay…uh…Maybe I’d use it to travel around the world.

Stiles: Where would you go?

Zaida: I’d go on a Europe tour - Greece, Italy, Rome, France. Then I’d go to England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland…New Zealand. I’d see all of the ancient sites, the architecture, the natural wonders, the food…

Stiles: Now that’s a much better answer. Not as good as mine. But still better.

About Greece

Greece, officially called the Hellenic Republic, is in the Southern and South-eastern part of Europe with a population of approximately 11 million. Its capital is Athens, and the official language spoken is Greek although English is spoken by many of the locals. Greece adopted the euro as its official currency in 2001, meaning that it was one of the first countries to make use of the euro banknotes and coins.

Greece, a full EU Member State, scores high on all major factors taken into consideration when choosing a new country for relocating, such as quality of life, regulated environment, secure living conditions in urban and rural areas, access to efficient services, residence privileges for family members, freedom to travel, among others. The country presents unique investment opportunities through business development models that promote its competitive advantages and investment potential in various sectors of production. Sectors such as ICT, energy, life sciences, export-oriented manufacturing and logistics are sectors which receive favourable consideration in terms of investment opportunities.

With a new vision for development, Greece aims to attract foreign direct investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, tourism, agriculture and other sectors through flexible and fast administrative procedures, and by promoting its natural resources, well-educated human capital and other unique comparative advantages in the broader South-eastern European region.

Benefits of the Greece Permanent Residence Permit for Investors Programme

The Greece Permanent Residence Permit for Investors Programme (GPRP) was launched in 2013 to attract foreign direct investments to Greece and is the lowest entry point for residency in Europe via a real estate purchase. It is also the only European programme offering permanent residency from day one. The Immigration and Social Integration code, 2014 introduced provisions to facilitate the stay of non-EU nationals, who are granted a five-year residency visa, in return for a real estate investment of EUR 250,000. This visa can be acquired under 90 days and is renewable every five years, if the property investment is retained.

The GPRP also offers an investment route. The investment activity may be implemented through the construction of new facilities (greenfield investments) or business acquisitions, restructuring as well as expansion of current activities (brownfield investments), provided that it has a positive impact on the national economy. Residence permits offered to investors and executives can be renewed every five years, as long as they maintain their position in relation to the investment and the investment continues to be active. Furthermore, up to 10 residence permits may be made available for investors and executives, depending on the scale of the investment.

In Greece, a new economy is in the making. In parallel, investment opportunities are abundant and attractive, in a wide variety of sectors. Greece’s massive reform efforts are opening new investment frontiers that reward both first movers and established players. The next decade is set to see sustained growth in tourism, ICT, energy, environmental sciences, food, beverage and agriculture, logistics, and life sciences. An outward-looking economy that is focused on long-term growth means that investors can look forward to highly favourable returns. As a member of the European Union and the Eurozone, Greece continues to be the economic hub of Southeast Europe, an ideal gateway to the Middle East, Western Europe, and North Africa, and an emerging logistics hub for the entire region.

Commitment expectations

To apply for permanent residence through the GPRP, one of the following commitments is required:

Own real estate property in Greece, either personally or through a 100% owned, legal entity based in Greece or another EU member state. This may also include a plot of land or acreage together with the construction of a building. The total minimum value of the investment must be of EUR 250,000; or

A lease agreement for a minimum of 10 years, for hotel accommodations or furnished tourist residences in integrated tourist resorts, including timeshare agreements as per Law 1652/1986 provided the minimum cost of the lease is EUR 250,000; or

A minimum investment of EUR 250,000 in Greece, either personally or through a 100% owned, legal entity based in Greece or another EU member state. Investment activity may include the construction of new facilities (greenfield investments) or business acquisitions, restructuring or expansion of current activities (brownfield investments). Investment projects must have a positive impact on national development and the economy through factors such as job creation, promotion of domestic resources and vertical integration of domestic production, export orientation, innovation and adoption of new technology;

Further to this, the amount of government-related administrative fees is approximately EUR 2,516 for a single main applicant, and an additional EUR 150 for every adult dependent. Minor dependents are exempt from such fees.

Furthermore, if the real estate route is chosen, one may expect additional fees amounting to approximately 8% of the property’s value to cover typical expenses such as notary fees, new ownership registration, residency permit vouchers, insurance, stamp duty, translations, legal fees for the property transfer and residency permit, and legal checks of the property. An additional 3% Property Transfer Tax or 24% VAT, should also be expected based on various parameters.

This means that the total capital outlay for a single applicant through the real estate route, is approximately EUR 280,166 including the investment, government fees, typical expenses for the acquisition of the real estate and Property Transfer Tax. This indicative amount excludes service providers’ professional fees and any other statutory taxes.

The Application Process

The application process typically commences with the signing of a power of attorney with a service provider to facilitate the liaison with the different stakeholders. This is followed by a visit to the Greek Consulate in your place of residence to apply for a visa to enter Greece (visa type C, or type D where appropriate).

Once you enter Greece, you can apply immediately for a residence permit, after all the procedures for the property purchase have been finalized. In any case, you must apply for a residence permit while your visa is valid. Once the application is submitted, the Greek authorities issue a receipt of application, which may be used as a temporary permit prior to residency being granted.

An appointment at the Decentralized Authority will be required, for the purpose of biometric data collection. Approximately, 2 months from submission the authorities are usually able to issue the residence permit.

The Route To Residency

REAL ESTATE — EUR 250,000 invested in real estate anywhere in Greece, either personally or through a sole-ownership legal entity based in Greece or another EU member stateA total of EUR 250,000 lease for a minimum of 10 years for hotel accommodations or furnished tourist residences in integrated tourist resorts

COMMITMENTS EUR 250,000 invested either personally or through a legal entity, provided that the investment project has a positive impact on national development and the economy.OR

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES — EUR 2,000 for residence permit for 5 years for a single main applicant, and EUR 150 for adult dependents. Dependents under 18 years of age are exempt.EUR 500 for the electronic residence permit. and EUR 16 for a single document permit.

If the investment is in real estate, an approximate 8% should be expected, additional to the value of the property. Furthermore, an additional 3% or 24% may be expected in Property Transfer Tax or V.A.T.

INVESTMENT — EUR 250,000 invested either personally or through a legal entity, provided that the investment project has a positive impact on national development and the economy.

CONTRIBUTION — This programme does not require applicants to make a financial contribution to the state.

And Also — There are restrictions on properties located in border regions. Investors affected by the restrictions above, can request the lifting of the ban for the border regions, along with their application, which should clearly state the intended use for the property. If the investment is in a project that has a positive impact on national development and the economy, up to 10 residence permits may be made available for investors and executives, depending on the scale of the investment. A Private health insurance policy will be required for the whole length of stay;

Understanding the Enduring Popularity of Marble as a Flooring Material

Marble has long been celebrated for its timeless beauty and versatility, making it a preferred choice for flooring in both residential and commercial spaces worldwide. From its aesthetic appeal to its durability and heat resistance, marble offers a multitude of benefits that contribute to its enduring popularity. Let's delve deeper into the five key factors that make marble flooring a top choice for discerning property owners and designers alike.

1. Aesthetic Appeal:

Marble's natural allure lies in its exquisite veining patterns and luxurious appearance. Originating from ancient Rome and Greece, marble has adorned the floors of palaces, temples, and monuments for centuries. Today, its elegance continues to captivate, adding a touch of sophistication to modern interiors and timeless charm to traditional settings. With a plethora of colors and finishes available, including classic white Carrara, dramatic Calacatta, and striking Emperador, marble offers endless design possibilities to suit every aesthetic preference.

2. Durability and Longevity:

One of marble's most prized qualities is its exceptional durability. While it may require regular maintenance to preserve its luster, properly cared for marble floors can withstand the test of time, retaining their beauty for generations. Unlike other flooring materials that may wear down over time, marble's inherent strength ensures longevity, making it a wise investment for homeowners and commercial property owners alike. Its resilience to heavy foot traffic and resistance to scratches and stains further enhance its appeal as a practical and long-lasting flooring option.

3. Variety of Options:

Marble's versatility extends beyond its durability to encompass a diverse range of options to suit every taste and style. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of white marble or the bold statement of black marble, there's a marble variety to match your design vision. From polished to honed finishes, each offers a distinct aesthetic appeal, allowing you to customize your space with precision. With the guidance of reputable marble suppliers in India, you can explore an extensive selection of marble slabs to find the perfect match for your flooring project.

4. Heat Resistance:

Marble's natural properties make it an ideal flooring material for areas prone to heat exposure. Unlike synthetic materials that may warp or discolor under high temperatures, marble remains cool to the touch, making it particularly suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Its ability to withstand heat without compromising its integrity ensures that your marble floors will retain their beauty and functionality for years to come. Whether you're hosting a summer soirée or preparing a gourmet meal, you can trust that your marble floors will provide a comfortable and inviting backdrop for any occasion.

5. Timeless Elegance:

Perhaps the most enduring quality of marble is its timeless elegance. Unlike trendy flooring materials that may fall out of fashion, marble transcends time and trends, remaining a symbol of luxury and refinement throughout the ages. Its inherent beauty and enduring appeal ensure that marble flooring will never go out of style, adding value and prestige to any property. Whether you're renovating a historic landmark or designing a contemporary masterpiece, marble's timeless elegance is sure to leave a lasting impression.

In conclusion, marble's popularity as a flooring material can be attributed to its aesthetic appeal, durability, versatility, heat resistance, and timeless elegance.
