“Like I said at the beginning of the post, I have faith in the American people “
I used to have faith in the people. Then, they (we) elected Obama a second time. My faith is now bruised.

Teaching Ephesians at the Slavic Baptist Institute, Khovel, Ukraine for about a week, a group of students approached me during break to ask, and the interpreter said, “Do the Americans not realize that Hilary is a communist?” I said, “Well, she is a socialist not a communist.” The interpreter smiled and told the students what I said. They all laughed out loud. “What’s funny Sasha?” He said, “They said a socialist is a communist who is not in power yet.”

One of two things should happen: 1. Ocasio-Cortez should ask for her tuition money back because she really knows nothing about economics. 2. Boston University should be publicly embarrassed each time she stands up to speak because she is a total idiot on economics. Both should happen.

This woman went to a university? It should be sued for malpractice for turning out an idiot like her.

It has not failed — it has worked EXACTLY as the elites who advocate it and run it want it to work.

"Well, she is a socialist not a communist."
"They said a socialist is a communist who is not in power yet"
They are right. I like to say that socialism is just the roadway, the destination is communism. Since the majority of the people will not voluntarily submit to socialism, it has to be done at the point of a gun. Hence, lie about it until you get into power and when you have all the levers of power, force it down the people's throats. Oh, and you have to end any and all democratic institutions since you have to stay in power to fully implement it.
The only people that end up liking it are the ones on the top of the food chain. The rest, let them eat cake.....
To: SleeperCatcher
She’s not listening cuz she can’t hear anything else over the sound of how awesome she thinks she is. I’m sure her response will be that it just hasn’t been implemented properly and that it wasn’t real socialism much like any Marxist countries that butchered so many millions of people didn’t practice true Marxism

Send her to Venezula. See how she likes it there.
To: SleeperCatcher
If I could ask Ms. Ocasio Cortez one question it would be this...... Please Ms. Ocasio Cortez, name me that one product invented and produced by socialist countries such as Venezuala, Cuba the Soviet Union et al... that we all couldn't live without?
A follow up might be, Do you drive a Yugo?

The Republicans need to bring him to the US to tell the whole country about this failure. Can you imagine him being invited to appear on CNN?

I lived in Venezuela in the 73 and 74, working the drilling rigs in Lake Maracaibo. Venezuela had a thriving economy with oil half the price it is today and this is an inflation adjusted price.
A socialist, Marxist, dictatorship has destroyed and ruined that once nice nation.

The problem with socialism is the "right" people haven't been ruling. Obviously, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Democrat friends are the "right" people.
It should work swell here in the USA if they can just run the place. If there are a few rough spots, well, they can always apply the Che Guevara solution. They can fix pock marked walls later. It will help keep the proletariat gainfully employed. Everybody will be happy.

I think that “O-C” is an indicator. A degree from BU should not be taken at face value. Check transcripts and grades before hiring a graduate of BU. Of course that is why Obama sealed all records. They revealed a hollow, shallow “man that never was.”

You assume that she is ignorant about the failures of Socialism? She isn’t. She is as much of true believer as she is a Bronx native. She is a liar trying to perpetuate a system that will afford her almost unlimited power over her fellow man. That is the purpose of socialism.

You mention that she is after “unlimited power”, but in my post, I said this:
“But, socialism is not about helping the poor and the needy; its about control. Socialism eventually turns into communism, and deep in their hearts, all socialists are communists.”
In other words, it’s about control of the people, which amounts to the same as “unlimited power”.
Socialism is about promises in order to attain complete control of the people and the economy and the country, and to achieve that end, they inevitably need to turn to complete control: aka: communism.

That doesn’t surprise me in the least. I was a Russian linguist in the early part of my Army career and I heard the same kind of things from Russians and escapees from other Eastern European countries.
Later in my career, I taught counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations to US and foreign intelligence officers, including quite a few from Africa. One of them, “Zindoga” - an officer from Zimbabwe, and I became pretty good friends. He was at my quarters one evening after dinner when a news story came on about Nelson Mandela. “Z” looked at me and asked, “Tell me my friend, why are Americans so fond of Nelson Mandela? Don’t they realize he’s a communist?”

The bad news for Venezualans is that the next stop is full-blown communism. This is how the Left always does this because the goal is the same - communism, not socialism. Socialism is just the pit stop on the way to communism.
