Multiple Democratic Socialists of America leaders endorse Communism

Multiple Democratic Socialists of America leaders endorse Communism

The Democratic Socialists of America recently got a major boost when one of their endorsed candidates, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, beat out incumbent Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley in a primary last Tuesday for New York’s 14th Congressional District.

This far-left political organization previously made headlines when leadership from their Iowa State campus chapter encouraged people to shoot president Trump and when leadership from their University of Georgia Chapter called for the execution of house GOP members. Now multiple DSA leaders are publicly endorsing communism, an ideology responsible or the oppression, incarceration, and murder of tens of millions of people.

Here is the original tweet from Olivia Katbi Smith, who is the co-Chair of the Portland DSA chapter:

Shortly after, other DSA leaders weighed in with their endorsement of communism.

The Charlottesville DSA co-chair:

The Hudson County DSA co-chair:

The Seattle DSA co-chair:

An Officer for the Queens DSA chapter:

Since her win, legacy media has rolled out the red carpet for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and for “democratic socialism”. She has done interview after interview after interview and appears to be starting her “late night comedy” circuit but for some reason, her affiliation with an organization whose members have openly called for the murder of their political opposition and who are now endorsing a violent authoritarian ideology has not been brought into question. Why is that? Could you imagine a Republican winning a primary and being endorsed by an organization whose members advocated for the murder of Democrats and whose leadership said “Nazism is good”? How differently would that play out?

I have no fear that this nation will go communist as long as they are open about who they are. It’s the “If you like your doctor” types.

As I posted elsewhere, let us celebrate all those historical "communism is good" activities that improve society for everyone.

Why, here is a great example of the absence of discrimination in how the military treats women...

...advances in Ukrainian agriculture...

...Pol Pot's skeletal catalog system...

...Soviet full employment in building the White Sea-Baltic Canal...

...thespian charity during the war...

...and the American Antifa (here getting clocked in the head)...

Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about communism, doesn't it?

Not only in America but in most western countries, to be a professing communist is seen as eccentric, just a bit over the top perhaps, while professing Nazis are shunned by almost elements of the society, to the point where they try to disguise themselves as something else.

But as posters have already shown, communism is exactly as evil as Nazi style fascism and probably more evil than softer varieties such as Franco’s regime. If we took the same approach to communists that we take to Nazis, they would have no public platform.

For communism to operate in a society, there can be no free enterprise or worship of God. So it becomes necessary for the communist regime to suppress forcefully anyone who tries to do either of those activities. This is what the proclaimed communists actually want but they have no means to enforce their dogma except in their own limited circles.

If they became more organized and powerful, it would be time to take them out before they take us out.

What you are saying is that it should be illegal. What if the majority voted to elect a communist? Allende stole the election?

Will the last person leaving the Communist Party USA clubhouse please turn out the lights and padlock the doors. It’s no longer needed. DNC headquarters will now suffice.

It has been said that the theory of communism is really great, but then you go and add humans to the theory and it goes quickly to hell....

Most everyone has known this for years. Many democrats try to deny it, but they are communist leaning.

>>What you are saying is that it should be illegal.

The one blind spot that our Founding Fathers had is that, as men of the Age of Enlightenment, they never believed that the American people would pursue Satan or a Satanic government. They believed that Tyrants would rise, but also trusted in the God-given ability of men to spot evil and to deal with it appropriately (i.e. 1st and 2nd Amendments). The idea of generation of over-stimulated and over-parented fools would rise up and one day desire to end their liberty in exchange for free stuff.

So, we can’t “outlaw” communism any more than we can outlaw Islam, unless we change our Constitution. What we can do is wait it to get powerful enough to become a tyrannical threat and then the 2nd Amendment becomes our license to end the threat.

"They can emigrate to Venezuela and roll in it"

The US should offer them a paid trip to study Venezuela.

Then it should tell the Venezuelans that they are a bunch of capitalists there to study the black market and undermine their government.
