INSANE VIDEO! Democratic Socialism In AOCs Own Words: We Dont Want To Take Over EVERY Form Of Production We Just Want To Tell Every Workplace How To Operate
====================================================================
Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retweeted herself again, and this one is for the record books.
Watch as she explains Democratic Socialism. Ive taken the liberty of transcribing it below for closer examination.
"We should be scared right now because corporations have taken over our government. @AOC explains why she is in favor of democratic socialism at #SXSW #tictocnews"
" Ya know just as theres all this fear mongering that government is going to take over every corporation and government is going to take over every business or every form of production, um, we should be scared right now because corporations have taken over out government.
And in my opinion, we should be weary of any entity in which both of those things are combined, whether its through one way or the other. Um, and thats why the emphasis in Democratic Socialism is on duhmocracy. And its not about, you know, it its its just as much a transformation about bringing duhmocracy to the workplace so that we have a say, and that we dont check all of our rights at the door every time we cross the threshold into our workplace. Because at the end of the day as workers and as people in society, were the ones creating wealth. Not a corporate CEO. Its not a CEO thats actually creating four billion dollars a year. It is the millions of workers in this country thats creating billions of dollars of economic productivity a year. And our system should reflect that. "

Lets deconstruct this
Right out of the gate, she describes opposition to Democratic Socialism as fear mongering and without skipping a beat, tells us we should be scared right now because corporations have taken over out government. Whos the fear monger again?
Like a broken clock, AOC gets something right when she says, We should be weary of any entity in which both of those things (corporations and government) are combined but then she pulls an immediate u-turn with this bit of insanity, its just as much a transformation about bringing duhmocracy to the workplace.
There should be exactly as much duhmocracy in the workplace as the owners decide they want/need in order to foster the environment they as OWNERS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, GOODS, AND SERVICES deem necessary to remain profitable. What AOC is describing is literally the very definition of a marriage between the govt and corporations in order to regulate what people can and cant do with their private property/business/investments. Im certain theres a name for that style of government but it escapes me at the moment.
LAST AOC takes credit for billions of dollars of economic productivity a year on behalf of workers (as though CEOs dont work).
She must be unaware that Americas GDP is just a bit higher than that.
Thats okay. She was only off by $20.5 trillion give or take. Shes still learning. Representing is hard.

Very well done!! Everything about it is great.
Thanks for allowing others to, like, post it.
But you should, like, put your “ID” on there, like, somewhere. (seriously, you deserve credit for it)
They were her words, and an actual photo, not a photoshop. You deserve credit for putting it together the way you did.
One thing, though. Might make it more clear that it is an actual quote. You could add at the bottom, something, like, “quote: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, February 2019”, or “—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, February 2019”
Just the ones you enjoy, mine will continue because I am making the sacrifice for you
You forgot DJT!
