The radical progressive wing of the New Democratic Party truly fails to understand why their ideas are so horrible. People like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have this notion that if they could only reach enough people with their extreme message against the rich, they can achieve their goal of complete government control over our lives. You see, to the far-left, authoritarianism is considered a positive so they can protect us from each other… and ourselves.
It’s unfortunate that so many people really are starting to listen to her, Senator Bernie Sanders, and other Marxists who envision a utopia dominated by the upper political classes (not to be confused with the upper economic classes) who will make sure we’re all comfortable in our morphine-drip existence under Gargantuan Government. This is why the push so hard for the Green New Deal, known in conservative economic circles as the pathway to Modern Monetary Theory.
But here’s the problem. Okay, so there are a ton of problems with their socialistic agenda, but here’s the problem as it pertains to the messaging depicted in the video below. Their authoritarianism can only be achieved by utilizing “the people” within a power structure that only benefits the elite. You’ll notice in her little slip that when she discusses wanting the people to take the power from billionaires like Jeff Bezos, she’s framing it within the concept of a “worker cooperative.”
AOC says she wants this clip getting out there:

“we want your power”
She’s using the royal “we” here. She means “I”.
If you have absolute power, no need for money.

Communism/socialism is baloney.
It’s just a different group of people who want others to die so they can live in the palace and ride in the government limousines.
She may be right, freed slaves don’t want freedom, they want to be the slave masters...................
We want your power,nope it’s like truth you can’t handle it.

‘Not a left party’: AOC calls the Democratic Party a ‘center-conservative party’
What does she mean by “we” want their power? It’s hard for commies to imagine, but there’s a whole lot of us out there who don’t want, or need, anything the billionaires have.
I’ve become pretty good at reading autocorrect.
