John Healey refused calls to raise capital-gains tax so that capital is taxed at same rate as labour. But as @brankomilan.bsky.social explaines, even it the rates were nominally equal, that would still represent higher burden on those who earn income from labour than those who get it from capital

In Finnish: se koira älähtää johon kalikka kalahtaa. The behavior is real in many cases - the Cuban crisis came to my mind. Find a great-power patron and try to get it to commit to unlimited escalation because else your security guarantee might not work. "Peace" through the strength of others.

This is excellent. I've noted exactly the same thing here in FI - the irresponsible "let's march to the Urals" mentality. There's an obvious connection to Milanovic's brilliant piece on east Europeanism - the ethnonational survival mentality is behind this nonsense. #kirkonkylämentaliteetti

Amazing article, thank you @brankomilan.bsky.social . That sentence about the milk collection, shows the fundamental flaws of communism, since the beggining. A must read book.
