I consider myself a lefty even by Nordic standards and have been called a communist often enough by the far right loons. Because I do maintain that billionaires are system errors and we need to redistribute resources fairly if we want to have a future worth having.
BTW for those who don’t know me yet, below is a TL;DR of my political beliefs. Am an anarcho-Social Democrat :D.
Rawls, Sen and Nussbaum fill out most of the details. The Veil of Ignorance (extended to include ignorance about the _species_ one is born into) and Capability Approach especially.

We already got the corporate dystopia from Cyberpunk 2020, but with worse job security and far too little chrome.
Could we at least get more chrome, as a treat? 👉☺️👈

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Thankfully V.S. Naipaul would never correspond with Epstein, not because of the pedophilia but because of the spelling.

This just keeps happening that when a wealth tax is introduced, 1, the rich don't actually move out and 2, they are hoarding more wealth than people know. Tax the rich.

Media ei voi selittää maailmaa, jota se ei tunne, kirjoittaa Ujuni Ahmed kolumnissaan
Jos journalismi haluaa pysyä uskottavana, sen on kuunneltava useampia. Liian samankaltaisista lähtökohdista kuva maailmasta kapenee.

Having been a columnist, I think the actual job is part of the problem.
A column every week means you rarely get dug in enough on any one subject to have background, and it means either adopting a “shallow one/deep one” schedule or always shooting from the hip on hot topics under deadline pressure.
