The majority of American Millennials identify as socialist, according to surveys by both Reason-Rupe and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. That’s the bad news. The good news is that just 32 percent of Millennials can define socialism. The frequently-wrong but never-in-doubt freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., may indeed be the voice of her ignorant generation.
During an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Anderson Cooper asked Ocasio-Cortez, “When people hear the word socialism, they think Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela. Is that what you have in mind?” He neglected to mention the vicious socialist regimes of Cambodia, Ethiopia, Poland, Romania, North Korea, and China, among others.
Ocasio-Cortez retorted, “Of course not. What we have in mind—and what of my—and my policies most closely resemble what we see in the U.K., in Norway, in Finland, in Sweden.” In fact, her economic proposals bear little resemblance to British and Nordic public policy.
As early as the 1950s, Britain began to privatize its social security and pension programs. By the 1990s, as decades of socialism caused economic growth to stagnate, Sweden followed suit. Neither Sweden nor Norway mandates a minimum wage, and Britain demands a minimum wage well below Ocasio-Cortez’s proposed $15 per hour. Britain and Finland offer a lower corporate tax rate than the United States, and all the nations she names have lower rates than her proposal of 28 percent. None has a health care regime as socialistic as her proposed Medicare-For-All scheme, which constitutes a full federal takeover of health care.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s ignorance of economics and foreign affairs typifies her generation. Despite holding expensive degrees in both Economics and International Relations from Boston University, Ocasio-Cortez threw up her hands in exasperation during an interview on Margaret Hoover’s “Firing Line” program, laughing, “I’m not the expert on geopolitics.”

Of course they are ignorant! All they are taught is diversity and inclusion regarding perverts, and that they can be boys or girls depending on how they feel. I fear we have bred a Lost Generation.
A “Liberal Marxist brainwashed” and “Liberal Marxist propagandized” generation! All done by design and on purpose.
Look to the US public school system and universities and colleges and you will find the truth. Read the curriculum and textbooks and you will find the truth. Follow the money and see where it leads.
Proudly ignorantly, defiantly ignorant, would enslave or kill you to make you support her ignorance.
Had she been born in Venezuela, she would have been in full support of Hugo Chavez and now Maduro.
Had she been born in the era of Fidel Castro, she would have been walking side by side with him when he took over Cuba.
Had she been born in the old Soviet Union, she would have rivaled Lenin and Stalin and Krruschev for control of their empire.
Had she been born in Iran or Syria or Libya or any other middle-east Muslim country, she would have led a contingent of Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
She is as dangerous as any of the evil but ignorant predecessors of her type of agenda.
They has six years to pimp her up to be President!
We have a serious education problem. It is mostly DemoHate and very little actual education.
Amen.
“They has six years to pimp her up to be President!”
The only up side to that thought is imagining how Hillary would react to AOC becoming the first woman president..
Rat F***tard Queen, stupid and obviously poorly educated.
Boston University should be ashamed for giving this ignorant tard a college degree. No wonder she had to take a job as a bartender. An “economics” degree is completely meaningless in the hands of someone as stupid as she is.
Keep talking, jack@ss teeth.
Dizzy Dame
I notice she uses the predominantly white countries as an example of what she has in that vacant spot between her ears.
This is no accident. aoc, and her handlers, see the need to get the buy-in from whitey to get this passed.
I’m sure many will be fooled.
Ain’t that the truth!
Doesn’t Maxine need the DOJ to help her destroy the economy ?
Our education system controlled by the liberal progressives have done their job well, we now are seeing the fruits of their labor and will bring us to civil war in this country
I firmly believe that NO college or university should receive one red cent of any taxpayer money.
