Most of the world thinks that when Old Joe Biden indulges in his habit of leaning forward and dropping his voice to a whisper in the middle of a speech, he doesn’t appear persuasive but just weird and creepy. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-School of Leftist Indoctrination), however, has apparently been attending the Joe Biden School of Rhetorical Tricks, as she took to Instagram on Friday to whisper a “secret” to her followers: capitalism is bad, socialism is good. It doesn’t sound any truer whispered than it does spoken out loud.
“Let me tell you a secret,” the renowned intellectual Congresswoman whispered. “Most people don’t really know what capitalism is. Most people don’t even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalists, because they don’t have capitalist money. They’re not billionaires … The label doesn’t matter as much as just talking about policies. That’s easier to understand. Do you think people should die because they can’t afford insulin? Do you think that fossil fuel CEOs should decide whether the planet gets set on fire? Me neither.”

Just because things exist doesnt mean people have an inherent right to them because of need or want.
What that would mean is that there’s some moral obligation to provide it to people, regardless. Somehow their need or want is a moral claim they can make on someone to demand something whether they can pay for it or not. They are entitled to it by need...? No.
If you believe that, you soon will end up with nothing. And unlike the current trendy saying, you will NOT be happy about that.
Its a limitation we all run up against, especially in personal crises.
Socialism is a fundamentally flawed system because it is basically covetousness run amok. You wind up coveting what others have and what you don’t. You demand from others what you don’t have out of covetousness, why you don’t have it makes no difference, its unfair an unequal you don’t have it so you must be given it from someone else who the state says doesn’t need it or has too much.
Everyone is so wrapped up in coveting what others have. The entire foundation of the democRat party is based on covetousness.
AOC seems to define capitalists as those possessing investment capital. Gallup says that 55 percent of Americans own stocks. Therefore she’s wrong as usual. You don’t have to be a billionaire to participate in capitalism, if that’s how you define it.
No, no, it’s not really all that hard.

And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

So about Mizzz Ocasio-Cortez, she likes talking about “socialists” being great and all and I understand how stupid she is.
There is something familiar about that...
