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.

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.

This. Shit needs a warning, very unintuitive.
