  1. Just listened to @gilduran.com interviewed by @markhurst on @WFMU on his new book, "The Nerd Reich", out these days.

    It was excellent, a vivid description of the new #fascist ideology being brewed for the past 2 decades in the minds of various #SiliconValley billionaires, starting with #PeterThiel.

    A strange mix of bad #scifi and cynical US version of elite secession temptation in the face of looming #climate catastrophe.

  2. Für unser aller Zukunft ist es wichtig Reichtum und besonders Überreichtum zu besteuern und besser zu verteilen. Die reichsten 10% der Weltbevölkerung (und sehr viele Deutsche gehören dazu) sind für unfassbar große Schäden an unserer Mitwelt verantwortlich.

  3. Spoiler alert: ihr legt 720.000 € zu 5% an. Oder ihr habt 4 abgezahlt Wohnungen in München zu vermieten (und macht zu wenig Rücklagen auf Instandhaltung).

    Aber eigentlich solltet ihr euch überlegen, wie problematisch es ist, wenn jemand 96.000 € pro Woche (!) an Zinsen bekommt (100 Mio zu 5%).

    Ihr könnt das nicht mehr ausgeben und seid verdammt, immer noch reicher zu werden indem ihr die Assets anderer Leute aufkauft. Vor allem Wohnraum. Und zwar exponentiell!

  5. The so called backlash to "tax wealth, not work" is either disingenuous or confused. They claim it won't work because it won't raise enough revenue but that's not the point of a wealth tax. The point is to reduce inequality. A wealth tax is a way forward in that direction.

  6. I just watched Gary Stevenson's documentary 'How to Get Filthy Rich'.
    A theme running through from the wealthy in it was that taxing assets will reduce their value. It won't. It will reduce the price and that's very different.
    An asset is something useful and its price doesn't change its function. A house, a company, land. An average 3 bedroom house has the same amenity value whether its worth $200,000 or $2,000,000. If you own it because you use it you won't care. If you own it speculate on its value then you will care (& you probably won't care so much about its function because you won't be living in it).
    I feel the same way when people attack 'degrowth' ideas. The idea of degrowth is not (IMO) to do less, its to consume less while doing just as much. Again, those who profit from consumption hate this but to the user they don't care as long as the thing they want done gets done.

  7. CW: Me angry at The Rest is Politics Leading's interview with Gabriel Zucman

    The more I hear him the more I wish Rory would piss off to his silent retreats forever. The guy is positively apoplectic at the start of this interview, not letting Gabriel speak and throwing ridiculous 'what ifs' at him. Privilege threatened mychly?
    He's the same with anyone who wants to talk about anything pragmatic about climate change. He's a grade A imbecile from posh stock.

  8. I love watching Zack Polanski in interviews, because I'm constantly shouting "YES!" at the screen. His point that wealth taxes aren't about raising revenue but about redistribution of that wealth is bang-on.

    Nährboden ist Unzufriedenheit, Ausbeutung, Ungleichbehandlung, Ungerechtigkeit, Ausgrenzung, Hierarchien, Hass, Hetze, einfache Scheinlösungen, Spaltung, Angstmacherei....

    Dagegen hilft finanzielle Unterstützung, moderne Bildung (nicht das einüben einer Herrschaftsstruktur), Gemeinschaft, Solidarität, Vielfalt, Empathie, Konsensfindung, Mitsprache, Mitbestimmung...

  10. Community is everything. Human relations are everything. People coming together to help other people, especially those outside their own community, thus broadening the community, is everything.
