  • How is it tricking? They clearly call it ‘vegan/vegetarian X’. Nobody’s fooled, that’s just big meat industries being angry because vegan is growing. They could try switching to those too, spares a lot of animal suffering AND CO2 while satisfying the palate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You’re being fed propaganda by those meat industries. Don’t fall for it.

    It ain’t encroaching if a herring is called a ‘codfish-like fish’, and nobody’s attacking ya. Everyone understands what’s meant with it: it’s a vegan thing that tastes like an X. That’s how it’s used. Prohibiting that makes it needlessly hard to compare.







  • The real answer is taxing the rich properly, and relieving the poor.

    • 4-day workweek should be the new standard
    • Back to 70% taxes on the richest percentiles through income-dependent fines, wealth-dependent tax, tax of stocks, tax of private property (with a prohibition on raising costs for inhabitants), and so on.
    • Combat capital flight and combat tax havens. Support them with a modest reimbursement for the losses of abolition of tax haven schemes.
    • Relieve the proletariat: lower tax for the poor and middle class. 0% for the poorest, 20% for the richer.

    And other measures:

    • Limit the power of large companies; break them up, foreign companies trying to do business here included.
    • Foster small and mid-sized DUWOCs (decentral, unionised, worker-owned coöps).
    • Tackle capital corruption within politics. Former non-DUWOC leaders cannot become politicians, and politicians once finishing their political career, cannot become non-DUWOC business leaders.
    • Reduce tax for DUWOCs with small income differences between the worst- and best paid people.
    • Foster juridicial independence
    • Establish a European sovereign fund that invests in economic diversification, sustainable energy, support for farmers, and building homes. In good years, save up, and in bad years, spend a smaller part of it.
