But everything about socialism/communism/Marxism – whatever one wishes to call it – is a lie. What it really represents is misery for everyone,

...

Not everyone. It means luxury, wealth and good times for those in political power.

I’m glad to see someone asking these sorts of questions. We’re supposed to believe that Ocasio-Cortez was a bartender chick who accidentally got elected, and then all of a sudden shows up with a detailed comprehensive plan (Green New Deal) to finish the conversion of our Republic into a Communist state.

I call bullsh*t on the whole thing. Her election is no more spontaneous than the rise of an unknown black Illinois Senator to the presidency was a few years back.

While we’re all laughing at her dancing videos and silly comments she’s marketing a new, cute, hip Communism to an entire generation.

At least she’s willing to call herself a Socialist, unlike the rest of that party that has the same goals.

The bartender gig just paid the bills and gave her time during the day to be a “community organizer” while campaigning for Bernie Sanders.

She’s a waste of our time. We’ll regret giving her attention when the 2nd American Civil War breaks out. The real bad guys are at work in her shadow.

I have faint feeling that Young Stalin (what a Hollywood movie that would make!) was just a tad brighter or shrewder than the dancing girl.

Stalking horse? More like a stalking stick bug.

“That “60 million” number is probably an exaggeration”


No. The actual count of those murdered in the name of socialism by Stalin is over 69,000,000 according to various historians.

And sudden death if they fall out of favor.

Thus, the promotion of equalized misery for everyone becomes the “morally right” thing to do. How very Marxist of her.

Jordan Peterson consistently hits it out of the park on this core defect within Marxism.

Equality of Opportunity is a fine thing. It's what the Founders tried to give us.
Equality of Outcome is what Marxism is all about. Always. And you can only achieve that goal through mass murder, tyranny, and equalized misery for a subservient population. This has been proven so many times in so many countries over the course of more than 100 years.

Anyone mouthing Marxist ideas should be pushed off the stage instantly. It is utterly indefensible.

This is one of the most important columns I have ever read!

Growing up in the 50s, with ‘duck and cover’, and looking up at contrails and wondering whose they were, and if tomorrow was the day, I think about the countless misery and bloodshed that could have been avoided if maybe ten people had died in their 20s, instead of all of the people that died because of them! Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Moa, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc.

We have here, another one of those potential mass murderers on center stage, and beloved of the nuanced elite.

+1000. She’s dangerous, and will be the figurehead of the coming attempted marxist revolution right here.

Has she endorsed, or otherwise given a pass to, pantifa yet? They will be eager to be her brownshirts, even if unofficial.

Another problem with these ignorant millennials, they want their student loan debt forgiven and basically for earners to pay for their 4-8 years of hanging out at college getting worthless degrees because they didn’t want to work.

Yep, Soros has been recruiting socialists for years.

I'll bet Stalin was very well educated at the age of 29.

This dingbat may be charismatic but she could barely fill an index card with everything she knows about how the world works.

One big difference between the early 20th century and this period in history is that the rapid and extensive flow of information means ideas that simply don't work will be exposed as unworkable very quickly.

The idiocy espoused by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a perfect example of a political philosophy that doesn't even make for interesting conversation in a coffee shop -- except among morons in Starbucks who are still hung over from the previous night.

60 Minutes ‘journalists’ covered up for their producer Don Hewit who assaulted women for decades like others at CBS.

I meant Mao, and remember, Ho Chi Minh was once a busboy in Paris!
