Here’s How the Left Can Defeat the Fascists The ‘Radical Centre’ has lost control of the capitalist crisis it helped create and the far right is on the march across Europe. Only anti-fascist economics, writes Yanis Varoufakis, can stop it. https://t.co/lpYK6jILAj #AntiFascism #RadicalCentre #EconomicJustice #EU
Today, @NYCMayor and I discussed a shared challenge: building an economy for the many. Spain is showing that another economic model is possible. More jobs. Better wages. Less inequality. Social justice is not the enemy of economic growth. https://t.co/XvUVexpZHT #EconomicJustice #JobsForAll #Inequality #ES

Neoliberals portray social security spending as spoiling the people. In fact, it’s democracy’s self-defense. Your dignity should not depend on how much money you make. That’s why we need a mind shift in economics. Social security is the #1 concern for voters in Saxony-Anhalt. https://t.co/J0dwNqps5k #SocialSecurity #EconomicJustice #VoterConcerns #DE
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

And above it all: dignity. Bread — and roses too. These candidates aren't promising bare survival through the next crisis. They're promising an economy where everyone can live. That's why "affordability" is resonating with people where "the economy is fine" does not. 9/ #DignityForAll #Affordability #EconomicJustice #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
US two major parties have moved so far to the right since 1980 that common-sense proposals to rebalance the economy are met with terror. But Democrats cannot become the majority party without making room for an outspoken and unambiguous left flank https://t.co/yuPUewdKYm #PoliticalShift #EconomicJustice #LeftistPolitics #US
Billionaires shouldn't exist, let alone trillionaires. We need a left government that will take on the interests of the billionaire class, instead of one that represents them, like FF, FG, and their right-wing independents. https://t.co/EhaLp2tnkE #Billionaires #LeftPolitics #EconomicJustice #IE
Wealth in society is created by workers, by carers, & by ordinary people whose labour sustains the entire system. It's those people, who have the power to challenge an economic system that rewards exploitation & now stands on the verge of producing its first trillionaire #WorkersRights #WealthInequality #EconomicJustice #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
New York City's Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged state regulators to block Western Union's proposed $500 million acquisition of International Money Express, arguing that it could lead to higher fees and worse service for immigrants relying on remittances to send money abroad, which are crucial for their financial well-being. #Immigration #Remittances #EconomicJustice #US #LA

Our Western societies are experienced by two revolts, one economic that affects the working classes and the other identity-based. The success of this double revolt depends on the existence of a common embodiment for them. (Original: Nos sociétés occidentales sont traversées de deux révoltes, l’une économique qui touche les classes populaires et l’autre identitaire. Le succès de cette double révolte dépend de l’existence d’une incarnation qui leur soit commune.) #SocialRevolution #EconomicJustice #IdentityPolitics #US #CA #GB #FR #DE

Elected officials and transit advocates in New York City are advocating for an expansion of the underutilized Fair Fares program, which offers discounted public transit fares to low-income residents, rather than pursuing Mayor Mamdani's controversial plan to make city buses free for all, as the current application process for Fair Fares limits access for many eligible individuals. #PublicTransit #EconomicJustice #AffordableTransportation #US
Jochen Ott, the leading candidate of the North Rhine-Westphalia SPD, has called for a debate on the unequal distribution of wealth in Germany, highlighting that a significant majority of the population views this disparity as unjust and supports tax reforms to address it, including a return to wealth taxes and an increase in inheritance taxes, while criticizing the burden placed on working families amid rising wealth among the wealthy. #WealthInequality #EconomicJustice #TaxReform #DE
