This part of the article was of more interest. Unfortunately much of it wasn't included in the quote above.

Quote:

The best way to win over the the portion of the working class in the South or the West that supported McCain and the Republicans is to create important new public programs and improve the social safety net. National health care, significantly higher minimum wages, support for trade union organizing, aid to education should all be on the agenda. These programs will improve the quality of our lives lives directly, giving us greater security and establishing the social economic changes that will bring reluctant voters into the Obama coalition. That is how progress works.

There's nothing marxist about it, it's no more than should be expected for the working people of any country.
