Newly elected far-left Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca has stated that she is "excited to usher" in communism "by any means necessary."
CdeBaca, who won in an upset runoff election earlier this month, said during a candidate forum for City Council District 9 (video below):
I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources.
And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new. And I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources.
And so, whatever that morphs into I think is what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary. [Emphasis added]
Encyclopedia Britannica defines communism as a "political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society."
CdeBaca, who is a democratic socialist, also drew intense criticism for saying that she will "usher" in communism "by any means necessary."
While it's not exactly clear what CdeBaca meant when she said "by any means necessary," PBS notes that Malcolm X used the phrase and it meant "up to and including the use of violence."

You’re gonna do that all by yourself, huh? Well, aren’t you special.
Her term of office will not end well!
Exhibit A as to why our inner cities are falling apart. She narrowly wins a city council election and then begins by pontificating on the existing economic system of the entire United States? Isn’t that just a wee bit above her pay grade?
This chick is going to get awfully bored looking over traffic studies, zoning ordinances and neighborhood beautification projects because she thinks she’s above all that.
“CdeBaca”
That name looks like a northern NM import...
I for one am glad we got rid of at least one communist from NM and shipped her up to CO..”
You have it backwards. I lived in northern NM for many years and don’t remember hearing that name.
I have known a number of CdeBacas in Colorado.
I’m going to need your liver and I’ll get the state to take it. Isn’t communism grand? I’m going to get me some of that community property.
(/sarcasm)
Is “clear heels” Candi missing a voicemail on her last name?
Who does she think she is, Stalin?
I’m just gonna point out to those who love to blame Baby Boomers for all the world’s ills, that with the exception of Bernie it’s not US who are proposing this bullshit.
The stupid is strong in this one.

She just won a free helicopter ride
That is why they need to disarm us. Otherwise, they will lose if they force us.
Communism = stupid.
Leftists like her want to take away what was created by hard work and a little luck and give it away. Something that they do not own and have to forcibly take away. That would be considered theft.
There was an Ezequiel Cabeza de Baca who briefly served as Governor of New Mexico in 1917.
Yeah, but using the Meat Hook means you can display your handiwork.
And suggest that Communism, that has demonstrated itself to be a massive failure, is the preferred alternative to Capitalism.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie. As true today as when I first heard the phrase as a Child in the late 1950’s.
True enough. :)
All these vapid, loud-mouth leftist flakes should form communes and live their socialist/commie dreams in reality— show us the way.
Frauds— enjoying the bennies of a mostly capitalist society while moaning and bitching about it wanting the other.
