Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said America was turning into a fascist society in response to a heckler at a Bernie Sanders rally.
"It is fascism that we're evolving into," the New York Democrat told the disrupter in Los Angeles Saturday before admitting the distraction had her "thrown off."
Ocasio-Cortez, 30, had been quoting the speaker before her, Harvard Divinity School professor and left-wing activist Cornel West, who once said, "Justice is what love looks like in public."
Ocasio-Cortez, who came to Congress in January after beating a member of the House Democratic leadership in a primary, riffed on West's theory.
"Establishing a loving society in the United States of America" is not "an irrational, overly feeling, sympathetic statement," she said. Rather, it's the pursuit of "an advanced society." And an advanced society, Ocasio-Cortez said, guarantees healthcare and tuition-free college and trade schools, among other benefits.
"What we are living in now is not an advanced society," she said.

I am sure AOC is getting her talking points from the Justice Democrats.
“What we are living in now is not an advanced society,”
Claims like this should be followed up with the question: “Compared to what?” Would she consider Cuba or Venezuela to be advanced societies? If so, we don’t want to be an advanced society.
We are doing something right if she is mad. She is a crazy deranged individuals and an idiot.
Fascism is actualized, real-world historical socialism.
Deal with it, progressive simpletons.
She IS the fascist totalitarianism, along with her other Communist Party comrades.
Had to steal the tips of her fellow workers. How gauche.

She probably doesn’t realize it, but she’s correct.
For years our biggest businesses have glommed on to government to tilt the playing field in their direction, dispensing favors, subsidies, and using its power to squash upstart competition.
In return Uncle Fed asks big business for favors it can’t refuse.
That’s the dictionary definition of fascism.
Well put.
