The Event

Naomi Klein joins Yanis Varoufakis for a live conversation on what public life on the left looks like today.

From recent deepfakes using Yanis’ image for viral gain, to his latest police harassment over events from decades ago, the discussion opens onto larger questions Naomi explores in Doppelgänger (identity, imitation, credibility, and what “truth” means when noise travels faster than institutions — and institutions still hold power) before moving on to current affairs and lessons for the left from the tumultuous way 2026 has begun.
