[Marxism] Proud to be an economic girlie man

[en.passant]

The other day Australia's Finance Minister, Matthias 'the terminator' Cormann, called Opposition leader Bill Shorten an economic girlie man. Unlike the book of Matthew (and the neoliberals) I don't believe the poor will always be with us. They are a creation of capitalism. We have enough in Australia (and indeed globally) to feed, house and educate everyone. Only by overthrowing the system that produces want among plenty can we eradicate poverty. That doesn't make me girlie, manly, boyish or feminine. It makes me a socialist.
