The minimum corporate tax rate should be 50%, the prevailing rate prior to the imposition of neoliberalism. There is no valid reason that capitalists should take more than half of the surplus we collectively produce, with our labour and our planet’s shared resources.

Of course, once one accepts this argument, it begs the question: why should capital control *any* of our surplus? Surplus retained by firms can and should be managed and invested democratically by workers and community stakeholders toward socially and ecologically beneficial objectives.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Since Oct '23, the Israeli military has systematically targeted agricultural land and infrastructure in Gaza. To mark Land Day in Palestine, we present our analysis of this widespread destruction as an act of ecocide that supports Israel’s genocidal campaign.

RIP Sr Majella McCarron 💚

Ken Saro-Wiwa wrote this poem for her shortly before he was executed in 1995.

If a large majority of your population wants to stop genocidal war crimes and yet your government officials double down in doing the opposite, you do not live in a democracy.

This new research shows it is possible to provision decent living standards for all 8 billion people within planetary boundaries. It requires renewable transition, food-system transformation, efficient technology, and sufficiency principles. https://t.co/K5L9Atvcnm

BREAKING: South Africa has urgently requested the ICJ to intervene in the matter of Israel’s planned assault on Rafah, which threatens the lives of millions of displaced Palestinian civilians who have been forced to shelter there and who have nowhere left to go.

It cannot be said enough - the idea that 'Ireland is full' just naturalises conditions of scarcity produced by decades of neoliberal policy and the privatisation of wealth.

Ireland´s richest two Irish billionaires have more wealth than the bottom half of the population.

Stealthier forms of climate denial - insistence that high-carbon sectors must grow - are pervasive.

Bit of advise for anyone returning a phone to these fraudsters. Take photos of it before sending!

[John O'Hagan @johnolovely]

Beware of @ThreeIreland! Ordered a phone, changed my mind, returned it. Now they're claiming a scratch and demanding €198 or a new contract! 🚫 This feels like a scam. Help!
