Arriving in Hamburg this week feels like entering a dystopian nightmare.

As the city prepares to host the G20 summit this Friday and Saturday, many roads are blocked and high-security zones have been established.

More than 20,000 police, many heavily armed, are patrolling the streets, backed up by drones and the latest surveillance technology.


Helicopters are permanently “parked” in the clouds, so the sound of their rotors becomes a sort of background music you soon stop noticing.

Perpetual police and ambulance sirens, emergency lights and water cannons accompany the orchestra of power.

Hamburg braces for G20 violence as tensions rise over police tactics

Walking on through the streets – I am here as part of the DiEM25 (Democracy in Europe Movement), which I co-founded with Yanis Varoufakis and thousands of progressive Europeans – this dystopian scene starts to feel surreal.

It is as though you are trapped in a “post-truth” hallucination.

Imagine if the people of the Soviet Union had never heard of communism. The ideology that dominates our lives has, for most of us, no name. Mention it in conversation and you’ll be rewarded with a shrug. Even if your listeners have heard the term before, they will struggle to define it. Neoliberalism: do you know what it is?

Its anonymity is both a symptom and cause of its power. It has played a major role in a remarkable ...Continuar a ler
