Hello World!

For a long time we've brought you only terrible news about #politics in #Finland, because of the current #conservative #FarRight government.

But now there's some very good news!

The far right #TheFinns party had a massive loss in the #EUelections, while the #LeftAlliance gained a massive and surprising victory being the 2nd largest party of the #EU2024 elections.

Yes, the conservative #NCP - the prime minister party - sadly is the winner.

the nazi government speaks of justice and fairness while it steals means of living from the poorest and low income earners and then hands money over to the rich.

The tax burden on high earners will be further reduced by €1000 per year. Low earners will be deprived of up to €700 per month. So much for fairness.

The government's development discussion rhetoric about "fairness" is a big hoax.

As a result of the new decisions, income tax for the highest earners will be increased by a maximum of €330 PER YEAR. This means that those earning more than €14,000 per month will see their tax bill rise by around €28 per month. Those earning €10,000 per month will see their tax bill rise by €20 per month. At the level of the MP's salary, there will be no tax increase at all.

And that's not all. If you take into account the tax cut already given to the same group by raising the lower limit of the solidarity tax, these top earners will still be getting more our of it after all the government's tax decisions. Everyone earning more than €10 000 a month will see their tax burden LIGHTEN by at least €1 000 a year, and the reduction will increase as their income increases.

At the same time, social security cuts are taking hundreds of euros from low income and low paid workers EVERY MONTH. Housing benefit cuts are taking €200-300 a month from many. The abolition of the child benefit means €150-285 less per month, depending on the number of children. The average impact of the graduation of income-based unemployment benefits is €330 per month.

When the cuts hit the same people, the impact is even greater. For example, if you are a person with two children and you’re earning €2,500 a month, who then becomes unemployed, the government cuts will take €565 a month from your unemployment benefit. For a parent of two children earning the same wage but working part-time, the cuts will take a total of up to €715 a month.

On top of all this, the government deliberately chose to leave capital and dividend taxation untouched, even though this is where the greatest tax injustices are to be found.

Or how fair does it sound that the owner of a wealthy family business can withdraw €149 000 a year in dividends as personal income and pay a tax rate of around 7.5%? Even for higher incomes than this, the percentage is very low.

At the same time, the increase in general VAT will hit all small and one person businesses in this country directly, as not everyone will be able to pass on the increase in prices.

The right-wing government's policies are very far from justice or fairness.

I don't use the term #leftunity because there's a lot of discourse around it, but I do believe that on the ground, in the streets, and on many particular issues, #communist and #anarchist people can work together (and must). I think that better terms might be #unitedfront or #leftalliance, as unity as a term papers over meaningful differences in the two political ideologies.

I think that #anarchists as a whole, could stand to be more critically supportive of past and current socialist experiments around the world, while #communists (#marxistleninists and #maoists) should accept that there is sound anarchist theory that might not be reflected in many self-identified anarchists. After all, how many Leninists can honestly claim to have done their own reading?

Vihreitä tai vasemmistoa yleensä äänestänyt, aiotko näissä vaaleissa äänestää taktisista syistä SDP:tä?
