      Whether Turkey's authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan, maintains power remains an open question as officials continue to count votes following Sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections.

      Tens of millions of people cast ballots in the pivotal election before polls closed at 5:00 pm local time. Preliminary results indicate that Erdoğan of the right-wing Justice and Development Party (AKP) holds a dwindling lead over Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who heads the center-left Republican People's Party (CHP) and is the joint candidate of a six-party opposition coalition.

      Delegates to the Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order—a gathering organized by the Progressive International and attended by more than 50 scholars and policymakers from 26 countries across all six inhabited continents—agreed over the weekend on a declaration that outlines a "common vision" for building an egalitarian and sustainable society out of the wreckage of five decades of neoliberal capitalism.

      "The crisis of the existing world system can either entrench inequalities," the declaration asserts, or it can "embolden" popular movements throughout the Global South to "reclaim" their role as protagonists "in the construction of a new world order based on justice, equity, and peace."

      Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis speaks to the media after visiting Julian Assange at Belmarsh prison in London on February 23, 2020.

      Varoufakis Details Vision for Ending 'Global Empire of Capital' to Avert Catastrophe

      Creating a new international economic order "sounds like an impossible dream," said the former Greek finance minister, but "not more impossible than the principle of one person, one vote, or of the end of the divine right of kings once sounded."

      Humanity faces a grim fate because the global ruling class refuses to depart from the capitalist status quo even as their quest to maximize profits intensifies the climate crisis and the prospects of a nuclear war. But with enough solidarity, progressives around the world can build an egalitarian, democratic, peaceful, and sustainable society.

      That's the message shared Monday by former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who outlined his vision for how the left can work together to end the "global empire of capital" and forge a humane future--part of a Progressive International-led effort to chart a path toward a "New International Economic Order for the 21st century."
