As a member of the Seattle City Council, she's had an outsized influence on the nation, leading the charge for a $15 minimum wage.
Now, with the passage of her so-called "Amazon Tax," the Socialist Alternative party member, Kshama Sawant, is making it clear that her legislative measures are only part of a much larger agenda.
Calling the passage Tuesday of a more than $200 million tax on top of the 3% city tax on corporations "a historic victory for working people," she warned Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos "and his class" that she and her allies are "preparing the ground for a different kind of society."
Sawant declared "we are coming for you and your rotten system."
"We are coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state," she said Tuesday in a video message after the City Council vote.
"We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy, and equality – a socialist world."

Sawant’s husband is an Amazon stock option millionaire.
She isn’t a communist of any sort, just an ordinary Hindu scammer looking to get power for herself followed by tons of cash tribute. That’s how it’s done in India.
And garbage like Bezos? He’s part of the gang that brought this trash to the US. Seattle used to be nice, bland, white. Boring, you know: no fun stuff like major riots, downtown insurrections, all the great things the past month has brought us.
No more. Now it’s the Home of the Thugee.
As for her oath of citizenship, it ain’t worth the breath she expelled in taking it. And she was crossing her fingers behind her back when she did. Advocating rebellion, terrorizing her own co-rebels - the laughable Jenny Durkan - would have earned her a trip home under Palmer. Like last year.
Importing Revolution is a bad idea.
_Whatever_ did you think I meant?
She is a member of Socialist Alternative. A former software engineer, Sawant became an economics instructor in Seattle after immigrating to the United States from her native India.
Heard he’s on track to become the first ‘trillionaire’. From selling books on line. I should have never told him about my idea. LOL!
You know, you have an idea, and you bounce it off some dude.... and they snake you. Dirty...
Amazon is too politically correct to move out of Seattle. However that does not prevent rational people and other businessmen from leaving or never consider locating anywhere near Seattle. Real estate values, both commercial and residential, inMarxist Democrat run urban areas are declining rapidly. New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles lead the decine.
Now we know why they need to erase history. Their scheme of socialism has killed billions in the past 120 years.
Not the first time. I was telling algore about a communication idea one time using computers and...............
They may be but ultimately money talks even with liberals. They are ok taking and spend8ng your money but don’t mess with their money.
“Talcum X”
That cracks me up every time I read it. Lol
I have a feeling that a lot of Indians in the US agree with her
Love that quote from Judge Hand.
they most definitely do. They grew up in socialist India. They come to an area and take it over like locusts and don’t assimilate. They are here to make the US just like India. Just like the Muslims and just like the Communist Chinese
According to Rudolph Rummel, socialism murdered* 262 million people since 1900. To put that in perspective. In 1960 the Rand Corporation estimated that a US/Soviet nuclear exchange would kill about 160 million in a month.
Socialism is literally as though the world experienced a slow motion nuclear war. God knows what humanity lost in the dead. The science, the medicine, the arts, etc. It is a crime that is utterly immeasurable when you consider what a quarter of a billion people may have done in life.
(*this refers to literal deliberate criminal murder, not the dead from warfare, bombing, etc.)
So, rhetorical question. When some people want to inflict socialism here, what would the dead tell you about how far one should go to stop them?
Lol... loose lips, sink ships...
“Native India”. Thanks, I was trying to place the accent. She reminds me of that other Immigrant Bozo Congresswoman from Minnesota. What kind of voter elects these Nuts?
Guilt ridden virtue signalling white females, and others from the third world just like them. We have imported millions from the third world.
I see it where I work lots of Indian it they look at the rest of us like scum. I will not say what the bathroom’s look like
These people think they have way more influence than they do IMO.
We underestimate them at our peril.
This is the Delphi Technique applied to the whole
population.
Look it up.
Watch for it.
Know when it’s being used on YOU.
What has been happening in Seattle in the past is:
—The City Council comes up with a screwball “tax the rich, tax the corporations” scheme.
—They hold a big press conference to announce the plan
—Behind the scenes Amazon (and the Chamber of Commerce types) lobby behind the scenes to make the proposal go away.
—The lobbying is not given any publicity.
—The plan quietly goes away—again without any publicity.
Rinse and repeat.
But—if Amazon actually believed that a plan like that was going to get real—they would be gone in a heartbeat.
Their excuse would be that they got an incredible offer from “location x” and just couldn’t turn it down.
