What does it mean to be Marxist?
It means always being on the side of wage earners.
Its means wanting to see wage earners work together to run the economy democratically by collectively owning their work and ending their exploitation.
Political democracy without economic democracy is meaningless

Maybe now's the time to take your head out of your arse and start listening to your coalition partners instead of dunking on them
An apology wouldn't go amiss either

Why is Chris Bishop sending people speeding into a 'death trap'. When the Ōtaki to Levin highway was 100kmh many died; after the Ardern Govt reduced it to 80kmh no-one died, when Luxon Govt increased it back to 100kmh, the dying restarted. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.
Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.
The system is rigged.
