Here is my take on Tuesday's Harris-Trump debate. I'd like to take this opportunity to comment on some of the recent comments from alleged Marxists on this list. Hari Kumar brags that he didn't listen to the debate; I suppose he's too enlightened to be bothered, as if who gets elected doesn't matter. That means it doesn't matter whether the democratic form of capitalist rule is replaced by a far right, fascist connected one person dictatorship. Nor is it important to him what those many millions who are following politics say. This is the very essence of sectarianism.
On a previous thread, Charlie attacked me for citing the facts about Jill Stein and Cornel West. My doing so amounted to "a demand that we go all out to help elect Kamala Harris," according to Charlie. I personally am not demanding anything of anybody on this list. It's up to Marxists to follow what the *facts themselves* demand. Charlie's way of posing it implies two things: First is that I am uncritical of Harris. That implication is a flat out lie as anybody who has honestly read my writings knows. More important is the implication that these election results don't really matter. This seems to be the view of many others on this list. That means it doesn't matter whether we live under bourgeois democracy or a one-person dictatorship imposed by the lunatic and fascist-connected Trump. Quite aside from the fact that that is a privileged point of view, it is thoroughly unMarxist.
