Interviewer: "Can you be a democratic socialist and a capitalist?"
AOC: "Well, I think it depends on your interpretation. There are some democratic socialists that would say absolutely not, there are others... that would say 'I think it's possible'... I think it's possible."
She goes on to say that private business is better for "a lot of things... a lot of consumer goods... You can be in the private sector and be a democratically socialist business" holy shit lmao
I was just talking about this crap, it's interesting, AOC's attack on the meaning of socialism is different from the 'police force is socialism' one, it's not saying all public sector is socialist but rather that socialism can even be in the private sector
She brings up workers co-ops, which still not socialism but whatever, but then she brings up if you have a worker 'on the board'. This is on the same lines of the neocolonialist pseudoliberation- nothing changes but workers appear to have more power
Now please, tell me again how AOC and Bernie Sanders have done so much for socialism and have advanced the movement immensely
