Young Brits and young people across the planet don't really want to work until they drop. I get it, and I honestly approve. Let me explain why:

1) Cost of living. Take young Arthur from somewhere like Glasgow. If he works a regular job making £1,500–2,000 a month (best case), he'll pretty much never be able to buy a decent townhouse in any safe area or city. If he starts a business, the chance of going bankrupt in the next five years is practically 90 percent.

2) Climate change. Glaciers are melting, ecosystems are dying, clean drinking water is becoming scarcer a lot of it is being taken by data centers, golf courses, etc. Due to climate disasters (and scientists predict the hottest summer ever in 2026–2027), food will become much less available and way more expensive same with water. So why bother doing anything?

3) Inequality. The level of inequality in the UK, the US, Europe, and around the world is just staggering. In the UK, you have the wealthy south and the poor north they hate each other, and it breeds a quiet resentment. The richest 1 percent of people on Earth, in almost every country, own something like 40–60 percent of the nation's wealth. That doesn't make capitalism a miracle that helps you succeed it makes it a new form of slavery.

4) Global aging. People aren't just getting older in Europe, the US, and Asia it's happening all over the world, and fast. By 2080, the share of people over 65 will be much larger than those under 18. That means the tax burden on young people will be insanely high.

I'm 18 myself, and like so many others, I'm going to have to live in this new, old, dishonest, unfair world with a terrible climate. It's not our fault. We're not lazy we just don't see the point. Houses cost a fortune. What are the chances that I, living in Liverpool, will be able to buy an apartment here after I graduate as a history teacher? I'd say zero

Communism isn't bad. Marxism isn't bad. In Marxism, everything is divided into private and personal property. According to Marx, I - and anyone else - can buy a house or an apartment (as long as you're not planning to rent it out), a phone, and so on. Private property refers to the means of production - that is, capital that's just too large. I'm a communist now

If you look at the statistics in Europe and the UK, a lot of people agree with me that corporations and billionaires should pay their fair share - and a lot in taxes. That's already a good thing, because our hearts are demanding change!

People in Britain who vote for the far-right - hoping that they care about you, that they're fighting the elites, that they're honest, that they promise to kill corruption, and that they have such simple answers to every complex question - do you know that they're not like you at all? They're no different from the elites. They get huge money from them. They often don't pay taxes, finding loopholes in the law. They come from elite schools themselves. They worked at elite banks - for the very elites who paid them and are still paying them to this day. They're just narcissists and populists who don't actually solve problems - they create new ones. The best example is in the Netherlands. Right-wing populists came to power and within just a year fell apart, having solved nothing and only made things worse. Or Italy - the populists there turned into centrists just to stay in power. Wake up and vote for real people from the working class — not for elites who promise the moon. I'm talking about Nigel Farage and his party, of course

The right-wingers hate the EU so much that they just don't understand anything. If the EU is so terrible, then why have even the most radical right-wingers changed their minds about leaving it? Moldova, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, Turkey, and even Iceland recently are dreaming of joining it. Such a terrible union, right?

Young people in the UK can't afford to buy housing. Why? Because the ultra-capitalists couldn't care less about them. They don't give a damn that young Brits are getting poorer - they're convinced Brexit was a great idea. It's really sad. Vote for socialists, save your opportunities

Trump went to China with a bunch of oligarchs and completely embarrassed himself. First of all, he brought a bunch of billionaires who don't pay taxes, use stock-backed loans, and went to China just to beg for contracts for their rockets or graphics cards. Second, Trump was weak does the leader of the U.S. seriously go to China to beg for help? Even in the wettest dreams of Hollywood communists, that would've been impossible. This just shows how dependent old techno-capitalism has become on a socialist country that, in their opinion, can't possibly be successful because they have high taxes and, oh my god, free healthcare and housing! I'm not against rich people I'm against techno-capitalism, against offshore accounts, trusts, and lobbying, against the rich not paying taxes. But I support private property and business development as such

Rich stay rich, poor stay poor.
You think that’s fair? I don’t.

Honestly, I would ban lobbying. It's just corruption. The state should make decisions without relying on the opinions of billionaires, corporations, and so on. It's crazy that lobbying hasn't been banned yet — it's just as dangerous as trusts and offshore accounts

Amazon cut 30,000 jobs & got a $7.8 billion tax break

Meta cut 8,000 jobs & got an $8 billion tax break

PayPal cut 4,800 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Disney cut 1,000 jobs & paid $0 in federal income taxes

Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%

Fifty percent is fair for inheritance tax because it only applies to the ultra-wealthy. If Bezos's son gets 125 billion instead of 250 billion, he's not gonna end up poor because of that

Money is taxed every time it changes hands. You pay income tax, and then you pay VAT when you buy food with that same money. Inheritance is the ultimate change of hands: a completely new person receives millions without lifting a finger. If you think a worker should pay 40% on his sweat, but a billionaire's son should pay 0% on his birthright, you don't want capitalism — you want a new feudalism where corporate princes rule the world simply by inheritance

We should raise taxes on the rich - not necessarily 100 percent. It's enough to introduce a 40-50 percent inheritance tax, ban offshore accounts and trusts, and have a 34 percent tax on dividends. We want to live in an honest, fair, and safe society - not in anarcho-capitalism where only the owners of AI and robots are rich

He inventado un sistema que llamo “capitalismo social humano”. ¿En qué consiste? Es una idea de izquierda. Básicamente propone gravar a los ricos con impuestos altos y a los pobres con impuestos bajos, pero al mismo tiempo mantener el sistema lo más capitalista posible.
También habría ciertas restricciones en el ámbito laboral relacionadas con la sustitución de personas por tecnología (esto aún no lo tengo totalmente definido, pero la idea general es esa).
Sinceramente, quiero escribir un manifiesto sobre esto. Estoy convencido de que podría resonar con una cantidad enorme de jóvenes en todo el mundo. Tengo 17 años ahora mismo.
Podría incluso leerlo o compartirlo.
**Impuestos**
Ingresos hasta 20.000 €: exentos de impuestos
Tramos: 15%, 25%, 35% y 45%
El 45% empezaría, por ejemplo, a partir de 400.000 €
Impuesto de sucesiones: 32% (incluso podría ser 45%)
Impuesto sobre la propiedad inmobiliaria: fijo, 0,5% o 0,8% sobre cualquier inmueble
Impuesto sobre dividendos: 28%
Impuesto sobre beneficios realizados: 27%
Ingresos superiores a 400.000 €: tipo especial del 10% (esto lo estoy ajustando en mi idea)
Donaciones: 2% (hasta cierto umbral)
IVA:
Bienes básicos: 4%
Lujo y bienes de más de 200.000 €: 25%
**Estado social**
Sanidad gratuita
Educación (escuelas y universidades): 60% pública / 40% privada
**Vivienda**
Aquí es donde tengo más dudas.
Habría vivienda pública estatal. La idea sería que no existan límites artificiales estrictos a los precios de alquiler del mercado, pero sí un sistema estatal de vivienda así:
Se firma un contrato con el Estado por 4 años
Durante ese tiempo puedes vivir en la vivienda estatal con un alquiler relativamente accesible (por ejemplo entre 400 y 800 € al inicio)
Después de 4 años puedes:
Comprar la vivienda al precio de mercado, o
Seguir alquilándola a precio de mercado
Si hay razones importantes (bebé, enfermedad grave, ingresos insuficientes, etc.), puedes extender el contrato 1,5 años más
**Trabajo y tecnología**
El trabajo humano debe mantenerse como base
Las empresas no podrían sustituir más de un 10% de puestos de nivel bajo con robots o IA (aunque esto variaría según el sector)
En fábricas podría ser más alto, por ejemplo hasta 40%
Personalmente, incluso consideraría prohibir la IA a nivel legal o al menos regularla fuertemente
**Cultura e incentivos**
Subvenciones para cine y cultura
Subvenciones públicas en sectores estratégicos
**Inmigración**
Inmigración poco cualificada:
Máximo dos permisos de residencia de 3 años cada uno
Sin acceso a residencia permanente ni ciudadanía
Requisitos: idioma básico (por ejemplo A2), oferta de trabajo, etc.
Inmigración cualificada:
Acceso a residencia permanente y ciudadanía
Asilo:
Basado en rankings de democracia y libertad del país de origen
Si el país está mal clasificado, se puede solicitar, pero con criterios estrictos de prueba
No sería automático
**Sistema político**
Parlamento / Congreso
Primer ministro
Votación ciudadana
Se podría simplificar hacia un sistema más cercano a bipartidismo, sin prohibir otros partidos (similar a EE. UU.).
**Lobby y regulación**
El lobby no necesariamente estaría prohibido, pero debería evaluarse según el interés público.
Sectores como farmacéuticas o defensa serían considerados de interés general
Otros más sectoriales tendrían menos legitimidad política directa
**Paraísos fiscales**
Este punto es clave en mi idea.
Impuesto de salida muy alto (podría ser hasta el 50% del patrimonio total al salir del país)
Transparencia total de trusts, holdings y estructuras offshore
Si tu capital está en otro país, las disputas legales se resuelven en ese país
La idea es que si tu capital está en un paraíso fiscal, entonces debes ir allí a defenderlo legalmente.
