''Perhaps surprisingly for a left-wing politician, the economy is the first and most important.'' Surprisingly!" Any real left is based on Das Kapital --the rest are pseudo-left windbags and that's why they don't have the votes. The entire basis of capitalist society is founded on economics and if you don't focus on economic exploitation and the class struggle it generates, the root of all other oppressions, you are just prattling petty bourgeois nonsense. Even so, the Germans should know better than to build a political party around an individual as their previous effort did not have a salutary historical outcome.

China's World View via the NYT
A typical NYT pro-imperialist oped posing as a ''news report'' with one example and one concluding opinion--tr
‘
One example of opedness-- ’Russia upended European security when he [Putin] launched an invasion of Ukraine 21 months ago.’’ How about; “America upended European security when it launched an expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia.’’ Or “America and the European Union upended European security when they sponsored a right-wing anti-Russian coup overthrowing a democratically elected Ukrainian government.’’ The NYT = the imperialist ''paper of record.'''
Concluding postscript-- “They’re doing this [ supporting the aspirations of poorer nations] as a way to signal to the Global South that China will support those countries in a way that they probably shouldn’t expect Western countries in general, and the U.S. in particular, to support them,” said Jonathan Fulton, a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council.” [That’s because China doesn’t see them as neocolonial cash cows to exploit for their resources and as a source of super profits for Western monopoly capitalist exploitation and military abuse.]

BIDEN VS TRUMP
The margin of error on these poll figures should have been given. Why is Trump getting increased support from Black, Hispanic and low income voters? These are the oppressed masses Marxists are supposed to appeal to. All the Marxist groups are small sects is one of the problems as they can't get their message out to the masses (a major exception seems to be in Seattle). Neither monopoly capitalist party can solve the problems facing the masses-- job security, lack of funds for infrastructure, medical care, education, environmental protection, ending gun violence, slashing the military budget, police violence, voter suppression, institutional racism, homelessness, public health, child care, etc. Millions are turned off of the two party system and won't vote for either party or vote at all--14% of the voters. Liberals posing as leftists trying to build support for Biden and the Democrats only increase the Trump protest vote. The left should be calling out both imperialist parties and trying to build a real socialist alternative. This will at least begin to increase class consciousness in the masses -- especially in the labor movement dominated by the labor lieutenants of the capitalist class. At the present moment fighting 'fascism' by pushing the Democrats does't seem to be working. Only an independent radical left alternative can generate the energy to really defeat Trump in the long run-- a mass movement that pushes the Democrat's base to the left at the very least while laying the foundations for a real socialist movement, a nucleus may form around the Cornel West campaign. This should be aimed at the those stay at home masses who have lost faith in bourgeois politics -- the Democrats can fight their own battles.
