Varoufakis argues global elites are following a “blueprint for the revival of fascism”, one he imagines dictators Mussolini, Hitler and Franco might have written “had [they] gotten together in 1945”.

He told the audience the modern “manual” starts by attacking crony capitalism, big business and financial elite — views traditionally associated with the political left – before turning against democratic institutions such as public broadcasters and universities.

    Oh sorry, thank you for that. I always use the web address in the URL space but sometimes I forget to include it in the Main body section. I’ll put it up now so people can access it from there as well as your comment.

      The URL - i.e. where you go when you click the post title when you have the comments open - looks to just point to the header image, not to the article.

      EDIT: Actually, I think the URL probably is empty, because there’s no domain shown under the title.

        That’s strange. I did put the address in the URL space and then saved the image separately because it did not come up automatically as this set up does with articles from such as The Guardian and The Conversation. If I make this mistake again please let me know.

          I think ‘Image’ overrides ‘URL’ (i.e. your post can be a link, or it can be an image, not both). I think what you’ll want to do is use the ‘Thumbnail URL’ field instead.

            Thank you. I’ll use the Thumbnail URL. Can you explain to me the difference? I am not very tech-savvy.

              I can’t find any documentation describing the purpose of each field, but here’s what I reckon the situation is:

              ‘URL’ and ‘Image’ are fields for the main content of a post (which is why you can only actually specify one).

              ‘Thumbnail URL’, on the other hand, is a field for providing additional data for nicely displaying the post.

              In Lemmy, the way an image specified in ‘Image’ or ‘Thumbnail URL’ is actually displayed is the same, but I suspect the two fields could be displayed differently in some other Fediverse application.
