While progressive taxation is essential, sustainable social programs require Americans of all income brackets to pay higher taxes — which will be more than offset by the money households save through these universal programs like Medicare for All: jacobin.com/2026/10/affordabil…
The principal sources of the affordability crisis are less consumer goods and more childcare, health care, and education. The Left’s response to that crisis should focus on universal, solidaristic, and visible social programs.
In “The Red Devil” a play written by Antoine Rault there is a conversation between Colbert (Minister of Finance under Louis XIV) and Mazarin. The contents of this exchange have gone into the annals of history: Colbert: “When trying to find money, there is always a moment when messing about is no longer enough. Please, Lord High Treasurer, tell me how one can manage to spend more when already up to one’s neck in debt…” Mazarin: “When you are a simple mortal, of course, and swamped in debt, you are sent to prison but the State… well the State is a different kettle of fish. The State cannot be thrown in prison. And so the debt increases! Every State does that.” Colbert: “Oh really? Is that what you think? However, we need money and how can you find any when you’ve already devised every imaginable tax?” -Mazarin: “We create others”. Colbert: “We can’t tax the poor more than we do already.” Mazarin: “Yes, that’s true.” Colbert: «So, what about the rich?» Mazarin: «We can’t tax the rich either. They would stop spending. A rich person who spends feeds hundreds of poor people». Colbert: “So, what should we do?” Mazarin: “Colbert, your reasoning is completely illogical! Lots of people are neither one thing nor the other, neither poor, nor rich… French people work in the hope of becoming rich but dreading being poor! Those are the people we should be taxing, more and more! They are the ones! The more you take from them, the more they work to make up for it… That well never runs dry.”
Ahead of Saturday’s mass protests in France, the government seemed almost desperate for new violent scenes. Lumping the organized left and protesters in with black bloc groups, it seeks to justify a broad crackdown on the high schoolers’ movement.

Swedish border police detain former Ukrainian MP sentenced in absentia to 12 years in prison
Former Ukrainian MP Dmytro Sviatash, who was sentenced in absentia to 12 years' imprisonment in Ukraine for justifying Russian aggression and fraud, has been detained at a Stockholm airport.
Source: Swedish newspaper Expressen, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Sviatash is currently being held at the Swedish Migration Agency's temporary detention centre in Märsta.
He arrived in Sweden last week, landing at Arlanda Airport on Thursday.
His lawyer, Mark Safaryan, said Sviatash had travelled to Stockholm to attend a Stevie Wonder concert.
The former MP was detained by border police at passport control and denied entry to Sweden.
Sviatash holds both Russian and Ukrainian citizenship but reportedly presented his Ukrainian passport at border control.
According to his lawyer, the official reason he was denied entry was a Polish decision prohibiting Sviatash from re-entering the country. The ban was entered into a shared database used by Schengen countries.
However, Safaryan believes the decision was politically motivated. The lawyer also described his client as "one of the most wanted people in Ukraine".
Safaryan stated in an appeal that Sviatash opposes his extradition to Ukraine.
In summer 2024, a Ukrainian court sentenced Sviatash to 12 years in prison after finding him guilty of justifying Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine and fraud to the tune of UAH 2.2 billion (about US$48.1 million).
In addition, the former MP has been under suspicion of treason since 2023.
Sviatash fled Ukraine in 2019 and has lived in Russia ever since. He served as a member of Ukraine's parliament from 2002 to 2019 and was a member of the Party of Regions.
Previously:
• It was recently reported that Alexei Roslikov, a pro-Russian politician from Latvia, had decided to remain in Belarus after his party's poor performance in the elections.
• In Estonia, Aivo Peterson, one of the leaders of the pro-Russian Koos party, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for treason.
