Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims capitalism is ‘irredeemable’

Ms Ocasio-Cortez made the comment during an interview at South by Southwest in Austin, where she said that the US should be “scared” that corporations had taken over the country.

“Capitalism is an ideology of capital — the most important thing is the concentration of capital and to seek and maximise profit,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez said during a question and answer session with Bloomberg News.

She continued: ”To me, capitalism is irredeemable.”

Ms Ocasio-Cortez has described herself as a democratic socialist, and said during the panel that recent concerns raised among conservative pundits around “socialism” misses the point.

“Just as there’s all this fear mongering that government is going to take over every corporation and government is going to take over every business or every form of production, we should be scared right now because corporations have taken over our government,” she said

She's just a puppet. She answered a casting call in NYC. Actually, her brother submitted her name.

She's just repeating lines she's being fed.

Just I was called “Deplorable,” I will take pride in this twit calling me “Irredeemable.”

Not a good way to capture the Middle Class vote.

A substantial and growing portion of our population agrees with her.

Did she make this statement from her $10,000 a month Georgetown apartment?

The opposite of capitalism is the iron hand of a repressive regime that takes from everyone and makes everyone equally miserable and poor, except for the ruling elite which has everything.

She should know. She used to be a barmaid in a taco joint. Lousy tippers. It was so bad, she had to get elected to Congress to get her goal of becoming a millionaire back on track.

She is really an idiot. It seems to me she'd be a lot happier if she moved to Puerto Rico.

She’s repeating lies she was told.

She is not able to think.

“How did she get this dumb so fast?”

I don’t think she is really that stupid, she can’t be. But if you want to be a revolutionary and wrest power, you can’t do it by praising the status quo. You have to convince people to be dissatisfied with the what they now have and promise them something better. Typical democrat strategy, only hers is rabid.

Who fed her that line and thought it would fly?

She’s got a point, really. Capitalism has created untold numbers of millionaires and we all know that millionaires try to avoid paying their fair share to the government. We need a system that doesn’t create any millionaires ever again, one where you know your role from birth on and are freed from the irredeemable pursuit of wealth and freedom. Thankfully, AOC has the solution to all that wealth and freedon: socialism will save us from it!

Her educational resume says she got a degree in economics.

Economics is the exchange of goods between people. That is capitalism in a nutshell.

She is 6 beers short of a six-pack.
