Germany's Left Party wants to halve billionaires' wealth
-
It's not fair... It should be way more than that.
-
The mythical left leaning USA political party. I heard a long time ago it comes out once every thousands years before quickly crawling back under the rock for whence it came.
-
That's fine by me. Just leave me a piece
preferably the bit that contains all the hard work they did to become a billionaire. -
Better than no coverage at all imho.
-
That’s a fantastic quote. This is how you can still run campaigns today!
-
If they halve the billionaires wealth then there will be zero billionaires

anti communist much?
-
Especially because its quite complicated or impossible (imho) to a enact a law that does exactly what they promise by not breaking the constitution:
Its just populism and a lie -
You can't say it'd be against the constituion. That is debatable (and debated, see e.g. Wolfgang Abendroth).
The interpretation of the constitution is subject to powerdynamics as well. And it's the only smart way to design a constitution if it's meant to be the everstanding stable foundation of a society. .. cause you know, those tend to change

Yeah, Well see :X

Why do you think art is used all the time for money laundering? It’s almost impossible to determine how much it’s worth. Well until someone buys it.
-
They are quite aware of the constitution and it's implications. Complicated, sure, but not impossible. I recommend to listen to van Aken talking about the topic.
Calling it a lie is disingenuous.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars

I was posting this because, as was the case with FDR in the US, the burgeois press in Germany deeply despises "die Linke" for the very same reason: they are a threat to the power of organized money.
FDR certainly wasn't a communist but it seems kinda odd to me how you'd miss the main point of my post, especially given the context of my reply.
"Die Linke" is somewhere in between social-democracy and socialism in terms of economic policy, with party co-leader Jan van Aken going as far as repeatedly expressing his desire to expropriate billionaires. Certainly a breath of fresh air compared to the neoliberal controlled opposition party SPD.
