Justin Haskins: Coronavirus and socialism - AOC and friends peddling false cure for what ails US
Fox News ^ | 4/12/20 | Justin Haskins

Many times, when Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar talk, it’s their lips that move but the voice of Karl Marx that comes pouring out.

In videos posted Thursday night by The Hill, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Omar, D-Minn., suggested a radical transformation of significant parts of the American economy that are essential for fighting the effects of the coronavirus.

After complaining that America’s “systemic priorities” are all wrong, AOC said, “We have to start demanding and organizing from the bottom up - from grassroots movements, from nurses to warehouse workers to grocery store employees to the halls of Congress, demanding that we strip profit motive out of our decisions and reprioritize for the public good and the health of everyday people.”

Demanding that the country “strip profit motive out of our decisions and reprioritize for the public good” is a not-so-subtle way of saying that we should significantly reduce markets and individual property ownership (capitalism) and put the government in charge of much of the economic and social decision-making (socialism).

History has proven the socialist utopia AOC is constantly screeching about will never come. But whenever it’s attempted, destruction, economic chaos and misery inevitably follow. (Just ask survivors of the Soviet Union how that socialist experiment turned out.)

that role shouldn’t include eliminating economic freedom – the reason America has been so successful throughout its history – by destroying markets, reducing private property ownership or “nationalizing the supply chain.”

In all the years since JFK was shot, the Democrats have earned their master’s degree in SNAFU, and excelled with the public program BOHICA.

the thing i’ve noticed about ignorant moron communists like AOC and her three ignorant moron communist fellow travelers is that their “solution” for EVERYTHING is “more communism” no matter what the “problem”:

hair falling out? ... Oh, you need more communism

bad breath? ... Oh, you need more communism

toenail fungus? ... Oh, you need more communism

girlfriend problems? ... Oh, you need more communism

boyfriend problems? ... Oh, you need more communism

(and so forth ...)

If MCC doesn’t take AOC out in the primary, then Trump needs to make her czarina of Puerto Rico.
