AOC’s Attack on Capitalism, and the Democrats’ Radical, Share-the-Wealth Agenda theepochtimes.com/aoc-attack-on-… via @epochtimes
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to think we can simultaneously eliminate capitalism while still enjoying its fruits—a fallacy that has toppled many would-be utopias in the past.
“Capitalism is an ideology of capital—the most important thing is the concentration of capital and to seek and maximize profit,” the lawmaker said. “[S]o, to me, capitalism is irredeemable.”
“We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “The reason we’re not excited about it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die.”
Sooner or later, though, AOC and the Democratic Party to which she claims to belong will have to face the fact that the more they try to “redistribute” America’s wealth, the less wealth there will be left to go around.
