AOC tells democratic socialists it's their 'responsibility' to 'create the conditions' for a general strike

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., indicated to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that they couldn't outright call for things like a general strike amid the coronavirus crisis, but should slowly change public opinion before proposing "alternative structures" for society.

"You know, there's a lot of people saying, 'call for a general strike, call for a general strike,'" the freshman congresswoman said during a DSA video event on Tuesday. "The majority of Americans don't know what a general strike is and so our responsibility is to talk about it, expand consciousness about it, and to actually create the conditions in which working people can generate and really exercise their own power, the power that they already have."

Her comments came as the coronavirus shutdown inflicted a heavy toll on the economy and millions of Americans have filed for unemployment. The New York congresswoman previously told Vice TV that workers should boycott work rather than return to society when the economy reopens.

"When we talk about this idea of reopening society, you know, only in America does the president -- when the president tweets about liberation -- does he mean go back to work. When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say 'no' -- we’re not going back to that,” she had said.

“We’re not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we could put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives,” she added.

Hopefully her constituents, will not send her back to work this coming Nov., and no bar hires her to be their bartender either.

[Skywise]

She’s orchestrating a shut down of the nation in blackmail.

Treason.

This brainless puppet is simply mouthing what her Soros handlers want her to say. She doesn't have the intellectual horsepower to think up half the stuff she mouths, and everything she says is totally in line with their commie globalist views. Between her and the rest of the Squalid Squad, we can see the extent to which our own Congress has been infiltrated by foreign interests. It is downright scary.

The schools have been changing our children to libtards for 40 years or more, ensuring D(umb) voters. What can the few sensible people left do to save this country?

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy, there are too many people out of work and fewer jobs now to call for a ‘general strike’.
Now if you had fewer workers and lots of jobs, well, we could talk.
The law of supply and demand is actually a Law.

Idiot. We’ve got a general strike and no one is liking it very much.

[shanover]

B*tch is insane. WTF do we have to pay HER?

[forgotten man]

Where can I find one of those 70 hour a week jobs that she is talking about?

[Phil DiBasquette]

We just need her to try on R.L.’s necklace

So this “General Strike” would be, like... ah,... ummm... everybody going back to work in protest?

Brainless dolt.

She’s a mockery of herself.

2 shams of a mockery of a sham.

Wiki entry says Rosa Luxemburg was executed & her body thrown in the canal. I assumed it was a Freikorps firing squad.

Germany’s commies would have to await the arrival of the Red Army in 1945 before they assumed power in the Soviet zone.

She has more money than any of them, but after the primary things might change........................ She had nothing coming in, but she’ll have millions going out. The Insider Political Money Club has accepted her. Her hands are in the jar.

I'm telling people they can't outright drag AOC into an alley and beat the snot out of her, but they should slowly change public opinion before proposing "alternative structures" for her face.

As soon as someone says “general strike” you know you are dealing with a cretin who is mired in 30s Bolshevism. Pretty pathetic.

>Historian Nesta Webster, who wrote back in the 1930’s, said a general strike by the Bolshevics was in the making then... in one fell swoop bring down capitalism.

History repeats itself.

This AOC woman is a Bolshevik from hell.
