Every time New York Mayor Bill de Blasio talks about the need to redistribute wealth the Wall Street millionaires and billionaires have conniption fits.
De Blasio correctly points out the way to eliminate racist inequality and poverty is to adequately fund universal social programs.
We Marxists support such initiatives.
De Blasio faces as much opposition from his fellow Democrats as he gets from Republicans.
De Blasio seeks action while his fellow Democrats seek to undermine him with platitudes they refuse to act on.
Democrats have a legacy that is easily substantiated of doing too little too late as millions suffer... the Biden-Harris Administration is obviously intending on following this legacy; if this were not the case, they would be filling their Administration with people like Bill de Blasio instead of a bunch of worthless hacks chosen for them by Wall Street committed to a reactionary neoliberal agenda of carrying out wars abroad paid for by shoving austerity measures down the throats of working people both of which further enrich the filthy rich few while creating greater poverty.
We need many big universal social programs paid for by taxing the hell out of the wealthy few who have been exploiting our labor and a huge peace dividend if we are going to contend with the very serious problems now confronting us.
Capitalism is in serious crisis on the skids to oblivion and these Wall Street parasites think the way out of the crisis is to intensify the exploitation of the working class.
De Blasio obviously has much in common with Marxists while Biden and Harris are opponents of socialism and oppose the thinking that we need the redistribution of wealth.
Redistribution of wealth is what the struggles for reforms are all about and we should welcome Bill de Blasio in joining our call for wealth redistribution.
It’s rather ironic those on the “left” who attack de Blasio are too cowardly to talk about the need for wealth redistribution as Bill de Blasio does.
