In every election “left-leaning” neoliberals always try to guilt-trip Marxists into voting for their candidates with the usual schpiel: “Your party doesn’t have enough votes to win. You are just letting conservatives win”. What do you tell these people?
Tell them if they want my vote they can have it by just seriously embracing two (only two) of the following:
Drug legalization
Vacancy control
Massive increase in funding non-profit housing
Massive increase in train infrastructure
Free public transit
Significant reduction in military budget
Withdraw from NATO
End fossil fuel subsidies
China-style expansion of solar and wind farming
House the homeless in permanent housing
Criminalize corporate lobbying
Complete provision of free health care for all including mental health and dentistry
Debt jubilee
Climate reparations to global south counties
