One of the things that radicalised me was observing the yearly fash independence day (next one day after tomorrow) march in Poland. They went on streets loudly chanting the usual fash slogans, but among them prominent were the yells about going to smash and burn banks, corpos, cops, etc. Directly after that they very peacefully passed all the banks, corpos, cops, etc. and smashed a squat.

Goooooood luuuuck with that under the dicatorship of capital.

I don’t get why capital gains get taxed less than income

I mean entire system is even called CAPITALISM, what's unclear about it?

Paying of course.

Under capitalism it would be laughably easy to circumvent, and even in premise it is flawed because it would only target the small number of top CEO's.

The truly rich does not even recive wages.

Well to be fair i did tried once but noped out.

Fix our own planet first

Yeah it's all about respecting indigenous heritage, sure. Remind me again, in which year they dismantled the genocider statues at Rushmore?

And it's always just about who have the power and who won. British Empire ruled over Egypt so Brits could steal whatever they wanted and they were never properly dismantled so they didn't given almost anything back. Other examples include emperor Constantine looting most of empire to build and decorate city he modestly called after himself, but again byzaboo brain disorder is so common people are still defending this. Nazi Germany also robbed entire Europe but they lost hard so it's properly called "robbing" nowadays.

Center-Left parties maintained a leftwing discourse and would throw a bone to the Left once in a while (say, minimum wage raises) when in government.

Right-wing oned did the same tbh. In Poland socdem party went from nearly having constitutional majority (2/3rd seats) to complete obliteration and losing every single seat in two terms because they turning into center-right neoliberals (which alrady had their own party so nobody voted on them), but it didn't make them any wiser, they still do the same neoliberal st. Vitus dance, though they managed to marginally return to mainstream since (on a leftwing promises which they didn't even tried to do anything about it).
Ultimately the party which did the minimal bone throwing was protofascist PiS and this given them 2 full term in government because even tiny breach of absolute austerity policy we see since 1989 shocked people incredibly.

Rubber chicken. Though don't do that to Jair Bolsonaro car, then it would be NSFW object.

You're not wrong, it's because leftists are generally more critical of gambling.
