which is a terrible idea of you care about the human cost

Once you're at the point of advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers, you've lost the ability to just dismiss things out of hand by invoking the "human cost".

Labour will make fighting capitalism that little bit easier.

Citation needed mate. I'm pretty sure you just mean you'll be more materially comfortable under Labour.

advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers

I am advocating for using your vote to reduce human cost as much as possible. What that means depends on the context.

If you're in America, the decision right now is between one genocide, two genocides, or refusing to have an impact on that decision with how impossible the system is for third parties. One less genocide is the least bad option, unless you have a better one.

If you're in New Zealand (where I live, so I'm more familiar with the politics here than anywhere else), there are multiple options because of MMP voting. That means I won't be advocating for voting in genocidal right wingers.

Labour coalitions have historically been the governments that have had the best impact on workers rights. At least far more than national coalitions.

Also, don't think I'm saying you should vote for labour next year. Labour is shit, vote for someone better
