The author pledged to bring Dmytro Firtash to justice, saying Austria should not become a refuge for oligarchs or politically connected billionaires. They wrote that Firtash had spent years in Vienna while facing extradition proceedings to the United States. https://t.co/V6PUYuuKZs #Gerechtigkeit #Politik #Österreich #AT #UA #US
The author argued that much of the debate around inheritance tax was a distraction from allowing multimillionaires and billionaires to pass on vast wealth to the next generation, while ordinary people struggled to make ends meet and feed their children.
The author congratulated Jack Poulson on winning a $25 million libel case brought by tech CEO Maury Blackman. They wrote that billionaires might find it frustrating that their wealth and influence could not silence journalists they described as serious. https://t.co/K0eWTgz54e https://t.co/tJfiypFQ1w #LibelCase #JournalismMatters #FreePress #US
Engines... Photography... Every technological breakthrough was mostly welcome because it allowed humans to do NEW things. AI is rejected because it does nothing new but replaces humans by machines. A cost-cutting technology created for greedy execs by sociopath billionaires. #AI #Technology #Photography #Nocountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

Great to see Irish artists taking a principled stand against genocide and the attempt by billionaires to shut up those who oppose it. The groundswell of support underlines the need to #StopTheGame. It's unconscionable that Ireland would play Israel in two weeks time. https://t.co/PWD4uVi2K4 #StopTheGame #Ireland #ArtAgainstGenocide #IE #IL
Speak up for Palestine and the few billionaires controlling the economy will have: - Your concert cancelled. - You arrested or sanctioned by US gov. - Your voice criminalized. While public money is diverted to fund a genocide. But we, the People, are not backing down. #StandWithPalestine #FreeSpeech #Resist #PS #US #PA
Couldn't be more proud of @aaronrowemusic for having the principle and courage to stand selflessly with Palestine & humanity against Israel's genocide and the billionaires who support their crimes. He has upheld Ireland's proud tradition of standing against colonialism & Empire. #FreePalestine #StandWithHumanity #Colonialism #PS #IL #IE
Disgracefully, dara centres owned by tech billionaires are hoovering up a quarter of Ireland's electricity and driving up energy bills for ordinary people but are paying half the price for their electricity that ordinary households are paying! Our proposal will reverse that. #EnergyCrisis #TechBillionaires #Ireland #IE
Si les milliardaires tenaient vraiment à régler les problèmes du monde dans lequel on vit ils auraient pas besoin d'event caritatif médiatisés pour le faire A priori ils ont tous les moyens d'acheter une corde #billionaires #solidarité #justice社会
@Paraskworld @Actu2Twitch après le gosse il crève de faim à cause du milliardaire qui exploite ses salariés et récoltes les bénéfices #JusticeSociale #Exploitation #Billionaires

En 2027, il n'y aura plus de milliardaires ! J'étais ce matin sur Europe 1 et Cnews ⤵️ https://t.co/gxFJH6bvlJ https://t.co/GLg9R4Oysn #Billionaires #2027 #Europe1 #FR
Les milliardaires, ceux qui vous donnent des leçons si vous roulez en diesel, n'ont pas peur de la montée des eaux à cause du réchauffement climatiques. Ils achètent en masse des îles qu'ils transforment en bunker. Par exemple, 37 milliardaires contrôlent au moins 218.000 acres #RéchauffementClimatique #Inégalités #Billionaires #Iln'yapasdementionspécifiquedepaysdansletweet.
The Deadly Seduction of Democratic Socialism Young people are being urged to support “democratic” socialism—ideas blamed for tens of millions of deaths in the last century—promising that consent will make it work this time. But consent cannot make an economic system wise. A ballot cannot set the right prices for wages, goods, or services, nor prevent shortages, repression, or famine. This isn’t fringe. New York elected Zohran Mamdani, who says there should be no billionaires and backs rent freezes, state-run grocery stores, free CUNY, and higher taxes. Polling shows strong support for socialism and communism among Americans under 30. The core error is believing resources can be taken from creators and transferred without losing the knowledge that made them productive. Mao’s China illustrates the outcome: land reform dispossessed and killed landowners, production collapsed as local expertise was treated as an enemy, and grain seizures during the Great Leap Forward worsened a catastrophic famine. The lesson: destroying incentives, property rights, and local knowledge destroys production itself. Envy is often disguised as justice. Communist regimes cultivated resentment and turned grievance into political energy, making societies less focused on creating wealth and more focused on making others lose it. Even when central planners tried to subordinate families to the state, people preserved knowledge through markets, private plots, and community practice. Civilization isn’t a machine bureaucrats can redesign. Take away property and you don’t automatically transfer knowledge—abundance can vanish with it. Redistribution may promise equality, but if it destroys the people, incentives, and knowledge that produce abundance, the result is a hungry one.
On va répéter plus fort pour que les médias du MILLIARDAIRE Bolloré entendent mieux. Oui, les milliardaires sont des nuisibles. Les milliardaires produisent de la récession économique : pour chaque point de pourcentage supplémentaire versé aux 20 % les plus riches d’un pays, le PIB de ce pays diminue de 0,08 %. Les milliardaires ne créent pas d’emplois : les grandes entreprises, entre 2012 et 2022, auraient supprimé environ 173 000 postes. Sur la même période, les microentreprises, les petites et moyennes entreprises, et les entreprises de taille intermédiaire ont créé 1,9 million d’emplois. Les milliardaires préfèrent rémunérer les actionnaires plutôt que recruter : pour chaque euro consacré à créer de l’emploi, LVMH en a consacré 239€ à rémunérer ses actionnaires. Les milliardaires sont riches grâce aux cadeaux fiscaux qu’on leur offre : les 378 ménages les plus riches ne paient que 2 % d’impôt sur leur « revenu économique », d’après l’Institut des politiques publiques. Les milliardaires n’ont aucun mérite : 80 % de la richesse des milliardaires français est due à l’héritage. Les milliardaires n’investissent pas : d’après le président du comité d’évaluation de la suppression de l’ISF, « les entreprises dont les actionnaires étaient jusqu’en 2017 assujetties à l’ISF n’ont pas investi davantage ensuite ». Les milliardaires ne financent pas l’économie réelle : 96 % des transactions qui s’opèrent sur les marchés financiers concernent des activités purement spéculatives. Oui, les milliardaires sont des nuisibles et en 2027, nous mettrons fin à l'ère de l'ultra-richesse avec @JLMelenchon ! #Billionaires #EconomicJustice #WealthInequality
A government that works for people not corporations won against big money once more. Congratulations @AngieNixon!! Nixon had $975,000 going into the primary, her opponent Vindman $16.3m. The winning formula: Affordability, good jobs & making billionaires pay. It’s unstoppable. https://t.co/QiUhzWNADy #GovernmentForThePeople #CampaignFinance #AffordableLiving #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
In California, it’s the people versus the billionaires: Silicon Valley is throwing everything it’s got at fighting a wealth tax. It shows why oligarchy is fundamentally incompatible with democracy as I argue in Anti-fascist Economics. Just look at who’s lining up to oppose #WealthTax #Oligarchy #Democracy #US
I managed to prevent Thomas Piketty hanging up on me and keep him on the line long enough to hear about his proposal to tax billionaires to curb climate change and criticisms of Ireland’s economic model https://t.co/ZoeTEuiAGe #TaxTheRich #ClimateAction #Economics #IE
