They don’t want to pull on her leash they WANT this to be one main stream conversation, this is how things started in Venezuela and soon the people started voting FOR socialism it all sounded so good to the young people, their heads having been filled with propaganda!!! Well those young people ARE NOW living what THEY voted for AND those young people tha didn’t believe in socialism ARE NOW the young people trying to FIGHT and bail the8r butts out of the mess the socialists created!!! This AOC woman is VERY SCAREY to me, she is getting far to much attention, BERNIE damn near got elected our young people have been indoctrinated in our universities AND we are headed straight towards socialism!! The government has slowly made it damn near impossible to get a job WITHOUT a college degree, they have taken most good factory jobs out of the country and our kids are being FORCED into universities where they are indoctrinated!! It is getting worse now though they are starting in the elementary school level mark my words it won’t be long and this county WILL BE a socialist HELL HOLE!!! We have gone to far down the rabbit hole to turn it around!!{

She’s just openly Fascist.

You beat me to it. "We'll let you own it, we just intend to run it" is straight Mussolini. Hitler thought it was a grand idea.

The workers' councils she wants to use as management are, incidentally, called "soviets" in Russian. That system lasted only until 1921 when even Lenin threw in the towel. And reintroduced money, which he had also attempted to abolish. Funny how this stuff sounds so good in freshman dorm rooms and falls so flat in the real world...

“I don’t think any of us are trying to deny the ability of capitalism to produce wealth. But after that has happened, after we have created this wealth, we should redistribute it.”

These people crack me up. And why should anyone actually bother to produce wealth? I'll just sit on my fat ass and collect my fair share when the Distribution fairy comes around and gives me other people's money.

“In other parts of the video, which surfaced late Monday, she talked about her life in Washington, DC, as a new member of Congress, calling it “super weird.”

“Here in DC it’s like, so weird. It’s like everybody is like, a spy. Like, it’s so bizarre,” she said.

“It’s like — you could go out to get a coffee and the person that’s, like, sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant is like, you know, like,” she said, as she made typing motions.

“Then they go and, like, they text all of their friends that they saw so-and-so at this cafe and it’s like, triangulation,” she continued. “And it’s super weird.”

Leftist believe in capitalism.
Somebody else makes the capital and they confiscate it and give it to people who are above working for their own keep.

This woman is too stupid to breathe...

She is a sock puppet. Her lines have been written in faculty lounges and Progressive think tanks.

It's an old complaint that "the younger generation" doesn't speak well. It's all "like" and "you know" and similar verbal tics. But I swear it's beyond the level of clumsy articulation now. I keep bumping into people who think they are communicating:

"So, there was that -- you know? And, well, last week ... whatever. So they changed it. Because now, you know, Steve is going to -- but that's because of the memo or whatever. And so you can't, you know, you can't, I mean, you can't ... whatever. It's so frustrating!"

Yeah. It's frustrating.

Leftists often confuse cause and effect. The reason that corporations are interested in control of government is because those in government are exceeding their constitutional boundaries. So - if the feds were keeping their mitts off the markets, the corporations would have less incentive to try to influence them.

AOCs brand of socialism just makes this problem worse. I think many of the representatives realize this - but if they stopped, their gravy train of truckloads of cash would stop.

Dear AOC. Given that you identify so strongly as a Latina woman, and given your Puerto Rican roots, I suggest that you experiment with your political ideology in Puerto Rico. Why not make it your grand experiment? If you turn Puerto Rico into a socialist economic powerhouse, you will have promoted your cause. If not, well, maybe you and other wannabe socialists will have learned something.

In 2012, Alexandra O.-C. (Occasionally-Cogent) started a children's book publishing company that failed. She still owes the IRS over $1,700.00 in back taxes. It's a classic case that the market place is a better judge of a good business model than a government bureaucrat.

However, in the world of AOC Socialism, the business would be "thriving", though, but on nothing but government subsidies. It's just like the socialist power company for all of Venezuela - no power produced for the last four days and still counting.
