New Denver City Council Member: I Will Usher In Communism ‘By Any Means Necessary’

Newly elected far-left Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca has stated that she is "excited to usher" in communism "by any means necessary."

CdeBaca, who won in an upset runoff election earlier this month, said during a candidate forum for City Council District 9 (video below):

I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources.

And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new. And I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources.

And so, whatever that morphs into I think is what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary. [Emphasis added]

Encyclopedia Britannica defines communism as a "political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society."

CdeBaca, who is a democratic socialist, also drew intense criticism for saying that she will "usher" in communism "by any means necessary."

While it's not exactly clear what CdeBaca meant when she said "by any means necessary," PBS notes that Malcolm X used the phrase and it meant "up to and including the use of violence."

You're late sweetheart.

Denver is already communist and trying to infect the rest of the state.

Cluelessly stated, as if Communism doesn't extract labor from the populace, and generally more forcefully than capitalism does.

Americans will resist communism by any means necessary.

Be careful what you wish for.

Nice of her to be honest. The flip side means that we can resist it by any means necessary.

I for one am glad we got rid of at least one communist from NM and shipped her up to CO..

Yes but the force used is equally applied to all. Equality = fairness donchano.

All the new holy female pols on the Dem side embrace rotgut, ruinous socialism/communism. Morons. Ask the women of Venezuela and Cuba how they love it? Women have excellent career and business opportunities in the USA and these deranged nobrains pine and push for their precious S/C which is the exact opposite result proven. Leftist lunacy is a dangerous epidemic in this nation.

In communist societies only the leaders are rich and don’t go hungry and live in mansions.
