It's kind of doomerist to say that communists can't offer shit. We can't offer a total and lasting solution to capitalism as we are a marginalised movement but we can offer people something materially and even though that something is not very much, it A: Is still better than the nothing the reactionaries offer, B: Shows that we actually mean it when we say we're all about helping the working class.

In Austria a regional branch of the communist party realised that they could organise help for people to deal with shitty landlords or the welfare bureaucracy and they started using their government funding to run food banks instead of printing glossy flyers. It resulted in them winning the local elections in their city and although electoralism is a dead end it does show that people are ready to support those who make credible promises of improving their material situation.
