AOC now actively hawking her own political merchandise.

Branding the U.S. left: AOC makes a push into political merchandise

Hope. There is a sliver of hope.

We will make her into a good little capitalist yet.

Bawhahaha!!

Socialists like money & the high life too.
While it might look hypocritcial to some, she
does live in a capitalist system. And I heartily
approve of her milking it for personal gain.

Or maybe, contrary to portrayals by conservatives, most of these politicians never proposed a purely socialist system in the first place?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Yep. Crushing her out of office for good.

Are you another one of her knights in shining armor to defend her, for hopes of her hand to be your mistress? ?

You've said that a couple times, swore she was too unpopular to win reelection, and then she won. By a very comfortable margin.
We can all see, very clearly, if she farts and says excuse me with a weird tone of voice you're going to start a thread complaining about it.

I'll call you a pile of wolf meat if you call me sir ever again.

I'll call you a pile of stuff using "wolf" like that.

That definitely. People just don't realize and accept Capitalism is safe and going nowhere with the "Capitalist plus" Democrats who seem to barely lift a finger towards common ownership of the gears of the economy.

Liberals...conservatives....both tend to eschew dictionaries.
But that's an old argument for another day.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a New York rep in US congress, in case anyone thought AOC meant anchovies on cheese.

Is that good, anchovies on cheese

It is absolutely fabulous on pizza.
Especially with feta instead of that loser mozzarella.

I like capitalism, yet i believe privatizing every aspect of society and then prioritizing profit above all else is a horrible idea, so now I'm magically Marxist? We can't have serious discussions unless we stop humoring ridiculous mischaractizations.

She uses the label, "democratic socialsm", which
suffers from the 2nd word. It creates confusion.
It's also common on the left to leave out the 1st,
"democratic".
All would be wise to be more careful in speech.

When you've got nothing else, but a personality cult, always go for the money I suppose!

Eh, I can take you making objective comments about Dems, AOC, and other people from my side. Politics. Religion. How my momma dresses me. But if you diss my mozzarella, you get the tail :

She needs one of those multi color marxist portraits of her image on a coffee mug or T shirt.

Being black and white about it doesn't work. Left/Right just is not synonymous, interchangable, or comparable to "white/black," "day/night," or other such strict binaries we like to impose.

Whuh?

Anyway, "welfare capitalist" would be better.
After all, if it's about keeping capitalism,
& supporting social welfare, then the word
"socialism" is unnecessary at best.

Not really. Even in some communist and Marxist circles socialist democrats are viewed as a "steeping stone" towards a communist state.

It isn't very good for the cheese.

How has no one included her own response?

“Not sure if you knew this Sean [Spicer], but transactions aren’t capitalism.

Capitalism is a system that prioritizes profit at any & all human/enviro cost.

But fwiw our shop is unionized, doesn’t operate for profit, & funds projects like free tutoring, food programs, & local organizing.”

Thanks for that.

I didn't fact-check myself, just because people create new propaganda threads faster than you can fact-check, anyway.

Not only a label, she is actually a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Same as Bernie Sanders.

There is nothing at all democratic about this organization. It's a flat out threat to people's freedoms and liberties.
