Socialist Cortez get's paid $150K while paying her stuff under $15 an hour.
She recently killed Amazon deal with NY that would bring $27 Billion dollars along with 25,000 new jobs.
Is that idiocy allowed only because NY has all time low unemployment ?

Socialism doesn't work on it's pure basis because it's based on the assumption that everyone deserves the same and that's not true, not everyone deserves the same and not even everyone is able to extract the best out of every system infact society evolves by individuals not groups fucking memelords.

You are absolutely fucking retarded.

In an interview with George Sylvester Viereck in 1923 Adolf Hitler himself said:

"Socialism is the science of dealing with the common weal. Communism is not Socialism. Marxism is not Socialism. The Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists. Socialism is an ancient Aryan, Germanic institution. Our German ancestors held certain lands in common. They cultivated the idea of the common weal. Marxism has no right to disguise itself as socialism. Socialism, unlike Marxism, does not repudiate private property. Unlike Marxism, it involves no negation of personality, and unlike Marxism, it is patriotic. We might have called ourselves the Liberal Party. We chose to call ourselves the National Socialists. We are not internationalists. Our socialism is national. We demand the fulfilment of the just claims of the productive classes by the state on the basis of race solidarity. To us state and race are one."1

And even though the term was the same as the one used by Marxists and Utopian Socialists, Hitler was not afraid to make it clear that this term was one that they had adopted, and that in their usage, it is very much the opposite of what we normally associate with Socialism. In a speech in 1938 Hitler said:

"'Socialist' I define from the word 'social; meaning in the main ‘social equity’. A Socialist is one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or personality or the product of his personal efficiency. Our adopted term 'Socialist' has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true socialism is not.[...]"2

That shit is too stupid to be real. You HAVE to be a troll but fuck it I'll make a few comments
1. Video claims someone is passionate about all jobs, even shitty jobs.
We dont need to debate this. It is proven false already. Who wants to be a garbage collector in Venezuela? Nobody and theres fucking trash all over the streets. Who wants to be a dog catcher in China? Nobody and theres actual packs of dogs running around. How do you explain shithole socialist countries if the video is right? It isnt.

2. The videos says that people who are passionate about jobs should be able to do them. Do you really want a doctor who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing? I wouldn't visit that doctor. I dont give a shit how passionate about medicine he is if he doesn't have a medical degree. Medical degrees are expensive as fuck. Oh, is the government going to take over every uni?

Look at the changing flow of everything. Look at the porn hub comments. Look at YouTube comments. Zoomers just want a good time.

There's nothing "weak" about it. They're fundamentally different economic systems.

Social democracy: a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and a CAPITALIST economy.

Socialism: characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity.

I am a survivor of sexual assault in 2011 by someone looking like AOC. I have remained silent because I was afraid to speak up, but my brave fellow survivors of the #MeToo movement have inspired me to comw forward. I was working as a chef de partie at a Taco Bell in the jefferson valley mall the night of july 4 when I was first approached by someone looking like AOC. She appeared inebriated, and made multiple unwanted comments, including "ay pendejo you got a fine ass, fucker". I smiled and allowed it to go on because i was intimidated. She groped my rear and my penis/ balls over my pants several times. I asked her to stop, and she called me joto or something. She then ordered me into the handicapped bathroom stall. I wanted to say no but her future power intimidated me. She made me lie on the diaper changing station, where she proceeded to violate me with a cheesy gordita crunch. She partially insterted the food item into my anus and ate from it. She then jacked me off using the gordita. I wanted her to stop but was too scared. Shamefully I ejaculated and went back to my shift. Having survived the assault, i soon quit my job and moved out of state. It is not easy for me to share this story. God bless.

did amazon state somewhere that the 25k jobs would be sourced locally instead of importing people from all over? because the last thing i want is 25k more chucklefucks to stress the shitty third world transit we have in nyc, so as far as i'm concerned i'm glad

she's a cia plant. her job is too do retarded shit like that to prove to the masses that socialism doesn't work. they have been doing this for the past 60+ years. just like now with venuzeula. they sanction the country and then point and say "look look. see it's collapsing"

she only won because her opponent didn't campaign at all. but the fact that dems are going along with her "green new deal" has got to be embarrassing for anyone left in the party.
even elementary school kids should be able to come up with something better... eliminating cow farts and printing $600 trillion to rebuild the entire country? for fucks sake

>Socialist Cortez get's paid $150K while paying her stuff under $15 an hour.
she pays her staff a base salary of $52000 https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1099133711986163713
>She recently killed Amazon deal with NY
she didn't have any personal involvement with the amazon deal, she just agreed with the outcome=
>Is that idiocy allowed only because NY has all time low unemployment ?
the amazon deal would have mostly brought in out of town yuppies and would not have had very little effect on employment for people actually living in the area.

why are you guys so obsessed with her? it's pretty obvious you view her overwhelming popularity as a threat.

this is borderline retarded reasoning. her campaign relied entirely on groundroots support and unseated a democratic incumbent. party democrats hate her for this. please provide evidence that soros or the democratic establishment has an even cursory connection to her.

> This. Gonna be funny watching the last of the Boomers get genocided by socialists. Metaphorically, of course, in the form of means-testing social security payments and capping them at $25k/yr.
means testing is overwhelmingly a neoliberal policy strategy, demsoc politicians like AOC and Sanders want to extend social programs.

post a link to any quote, at any time, ever, by AOC stating that she wants to implement leninism, stalinism or maoism in the united states you will find that she praises social democracies in northern europe, as does bernie, and that her policies pretty much exactly align with the politica mainstream of those counties. you will then start posting dogwhistle shit about "ethnically homogenous populations" with zero supporting evidence.
