Yanis Varoufakis, while not an explicit anarcho-syndicalist, engages deeply with its core principles—economic democracy, worker self-management, and decentralized power— especially in relation to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. In his political fiction and theoretical works (Another Now, Technofeudalism), Varoufakis envisions a post-capitalist society where AI is not used to entrench elite control but to empower workers and decentralize governance. He critiques the current use of AI by corporations and states as a tool for surveillance capitalism and digital feudalism, where data and algorithms concentrate wealth and decision-making in the hands of a few.   Instead, Varoufakis proposes a radically democratic alternative: AI systems governed collectively by workers and communities. In his vision, algorithms are open-source, developed transparently, and deployed in service of public interest—not profit. Workplace decisions are made through real-time deliberative platforms, using AI to facilitate egalitarian participation rather than automate control.   This approach aligns with anarcho-syndicalist principles: AI is not abolished or feared, but reclaimed and retooled for cooperative self-management. The aim is not simply technological progress, but democratized control over technology—placing digital power in the hands of workers, not capital.   Thus, Varoufakis’s synthesis of anarcho-syndicalism and AI offers a compelling vision: a future where artificial intelligence serves human autonomy, solidarity, and collective flourishing.
