Ocasio-Cortez and the “socialist” left

[rickyb]

Socialism is not a viable form of government for a disparate population like the USA ... regardless of economy, demographics, or financial market ... to name a few.
Socialism has not worked well over the last hundred, or so, years.

While I tend to agree with your assessment, I’d say capitalism has been a bit of a disaster.

Without socialistic concessions, the capitalism of the US would have spawned revolt long ago. Could still happen.

She has commented on it.

“I’m a big dumb bitch, I think the US should respect their national sovereignty and not support either one.”

Are you saying socialism is always good?

 

[rickyb]

Are you saying socialism is always good?

nope because theres more than one meaning of it.

i should say capitalism is only good when its sustainable and only co-owners; not the employer employee model. but i dont call a system of co-owners capitalism, that sounds more like a cooperative to me.
