1. This platform is full ofposts (primarily from U.S. citizens) about wanting 'healthcare paid for with taxes'. The desire is good and just, but the claimed mechanism is false. It simply plays into neoliberal narratives. How so? See below:

Dubious nature of the 'Crown Estate'. The article claims Charles 'owns' it, but that it's not his private property. Also makes the nonsensical claim the govt uses 'profits' from it, when govt makes no 'profits' from anything designated in 'pounds sterling'.
