I suggest you try Cuba, AOC. They are already running the system you prefer. Spend a year there and let us know what you think afterwards.

As for us, we will remain Capitalists.

As usual, her kopf runneth over---with feces. Her little spiel sounds totally scripted and puppeteered by someone else.

Try living in Venezuela, North Korea or Zimbabwe, and see how you like it there.

When I see migrant caravans moving thousands of people from the U.S. to Venezuela, then maybe I will believe her brand of socialism is better.

There’s only one Koch brother now, dingbat.

And is he the only “wealthy few” your pea brain could come up with? I can name a few more.

And what is socialism? People ruled by a wealthy minority.

Why hasn’t she just sent all of her newfound wealth into the US Treasury?

Nothing stops her from doing so.

It’s better than communism and socialism, it would even better if Congress wasn’t so corrupt and serving the people rather than serving themselves.

You are a part of the wealthy minority, AOC. You only pretend to care about the less fortunate, while constantly making them less fortunate and enriching yourself. It’s a pose. GFYSAOC.

AOC is a parasitic Marxist nursing on capitalist hosts.

Big business is not capitalism. Big business and big government go hand in hand. Why can she not see that?

When people are free and honor contracts and private property capitalism is simply what happens. It succeeds because it is in agreement with human society at its best.

When people are in chains to the beliefs of a pointy headed few wanting to organize a rational and sustainable utopia socialism will still always fail, for it is rooted in foolishness and arrogance and is in agreement with human society at its worst.

Those who call good evil and evil good seem to love socialism.

Progressivism makes people worse that they would otherwise be.

“Capitalism” is a marxist term.

What “works” is individual property rights and a free market.

Today’s “capitalism” doesn’t “work” because government colludes with business to manipulate the market by picking winners and losers and imposing onerous regulations on commerce. Goverment has shifted from regulating commerce to controlling it.

Marxism does not benefit most humans and is ‘not a redeemable system’. The New York democrat’s desired socialism is one in which only a few Party leaders, which she desires to be, controls everything.

There. Fixed it.

So much for the Koch plan of trying to make the left like them by not backing Trump.

There would be close to zero poverty, homelessness, and crime if we had a pure capitalism system.

Dear AOC, There is another “irredeemable” you should concern yourself with.

Why then is everyone tying to get into this Nation instead of trying to get out?
