Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Pioneering musician/producer Brian Eno talks about rising inequality and how to make the super rich pay a wealth tax. He himself has become a multi-millionaire from his art.

The bus in the background is paid for by a group called Patriotic Millionaires who also have other strategies for closing the wealth gap.

Even if he gave away nearly all his wealth to help the needy, that doesn't fix the problem. Ultimately it's the choice of the rich what to do with their money and most of them won't choose to give it away. Changing the system is more important than one rich person being generous.
