Re:EU adopts global minimum 15% tax on big business by jameshart on Friday December 16, 2022 @02:52PM (#34019355)
Do you believe that when Paolo Gentiloni is using the words ‘social justice’, to describe a goal he is evidently in favor of accomplishing via the EU, he is saying he intends to adopt the economic and social policies of communist Poland?

Because I think that is a fairly uncharitable reading of what he likely intends.

I don't even think the communist government of Poland wanted to adopt those policies. The problem with "social justice" is not the intention behind it but the actual implementation and what it requires. For example, here we don't go from country to country asking their citizens if they agree with the tax rate, instead we create an unelected global body that decides what the rest of the world is going to do (in this example raise taxes).
