Budding socialist, Bernie supporter battles Cavuto; declares capitalism 'illegitimate'
Bizpac Review ^ | April 15, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz

One of the organizers of Wednesday's "Million Student March" locked horns with Neil Cavuto Thursday, calling capitalism an "illegitimate" economic system.

Wednesday's demonstration called for free college education, forgiveness of all student loan debt and a $15 minimum wage for all student campus workers.

Darletta Scruggs, one of the organizers and a Sen. Bernie Sanders supporter, called Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton "a candidate of Wal-Mart, Wall Street and war," during a contentious 18-minute interview where she constantly talked over the Fox Business Network host.

She wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase, "Socialist Alternative," and went on to say that capitalism "cannot produce any substantial quality of life no matter how hard we work."

I would think a true commie would call for the abolishment of all wages.

From each according to their ability. To each according to their NEED.

I guess she hasn’t looked at Venezuela recently (not that she would care). But it’s a socialist paradise!

She was fired from her job for trying to organize a Union, if my quick search was correct. LOL. Get’s fired, becomes an activist. Surprise!

The conversation “jamming” should not be tolerated. It basically amounts to: the rudest person shall be declared the winner.

I hate it.

A coworker was streaming the debate last night -- classic demagoguery, free college education for all, and financed by taxing away all the trillions of imaginary price-gouging profits, etc. And ignore what Slick said, Hillary doubled down on her version of BLM. On the panel "analyzing" the debate? Van Jones. Ridiculous. Related topic:

She is correct about Hillary.

She is 100% in agreement with Pope Francis.

She was right about one thing though. The people at the top, the Rockefellers, Waltons, du Ponts, Rothschilds, etc, hide their wealth in tax exempt foundations. It accounts for trillions of dollars that are removed from the system and not taxed.

But that money should not be spent, as I’m sure she would advocate, but be used to pay off the debt or create a new financial system less dependent on the federal reserve.

The only person running that would dare touch that money is Trump. All the others work for it, even Bernie. It’s easy to go after the Waltons (or the Rothschilds who are Brittish and French.)

As you surely know, they just didn't do it right. They weren't compassionate like the American Left is. So don't believe all this nonsense talk about prosecuting climate deniers, or weaponizing the IRS against enemies of the state, it's just not true. The American Left would never think about killing any who oppose them... at least not yet.

As you surely know, they just didn't do it right.

Now we have computer technology, which will surely enable us to centrally manage an economy. /s

Cavuto was rolled. He was really weak. Kept saying what great points she was making.

Karl Marx lamented the worker owns little but his labor... the socialist steals even that!

“From each according to their ability” (you DON’T OWN the products of your labor). “To each according to their NEED” (you DON’T get to decide your needs... BIG NANNY does that for you).

Both your labor and your body are owned by the state. Some like this young idiot, will also grant the state ownership of their souls.

So forget gold, hoard toilet paper... it’ll be money, like cigarettes in prison.

Her argument is only slightly better than the Chicago protester I heard who said to take all the money from the police budget and give it to African American youth. Point blank.

I've got to commend Cavuto for attempting to shed a light on these people.

As I explained to my "too young to know" son-in-law, if you want to see what Communism looks like, go look at a housing project. That's an upgrade!
