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."

Boulder wasn’t borderline commie when weed was illegal?
Freeper TwoTone’s quote says it...
“While one may vote oneself into socialism, one has to shoot oneself out of it”
Liberals, socialists, progressives or communists, whatever designations sounds more appealing at the time, screw things up as they usually and invariably do. Then in the process, like this fairly young brain of mush becomes frustrated by what she sees and thinks that more of the same will make things all better. Unfortunately it never turns out this way. She very easily can check this out where it has been tried and confirm its failure. But just as with Ocasio Cortez some of this would never cross her mind.
The stupid, it burns!
She needs to live in Venezuela or Cuba for a year.
Who is it that got these people to believe that communism or socialism is good?
Radicals like her are getting elected to city councils all over the country. CW 2.0 is shaping up as rural vs. urban.
"By any means necessary" cuts both ways, sweetie.
She needs to live in Venezuela or Cuba for a year.
Who is it that got these people to believe that communism or socialism is good?
I think we underestimate these people.
They know what communism is and how it works. They are already a member of the ruling class. They won’t suffer from their own policies.
At least not until their subjects rise up.
To mix metaphors, Ms. B-deCaca is a few vowels short of a full deck…
5th generation Coloradan. She considers herself a Democratic Socialist, although the Council Seat is non-partisan.
At least she admits scratching a social
democrat gets you a communist wannabe.
So they say.
So they say.
who love to blame Baby Boomers for all the world’s ills
“She needs to live in Venezuela or Cuba for a year.”
Let her cut sugar cane in Cuba with the rest of the Communist Youth. She’ll get an appreciation of true communism pretty quick.
A communist is a socialist with your gun.
L
Who does she think she is? AOC?
What she’s advocating is totally illegal.
So consequently Americans are entitled to stop her “by any means necessary” as well.
See how that works sugartits?
Thanks.
