Ocasio-Cortez Criticized After Saying Republicans Are Trying to Scare People Away From Socialism

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was criticized after she attempted to downplay the threat of socialism by claiming Republicans are trying to scare people away from voting for Democratic candidates.

“The ‘old-fashioned red-baiting approach, familiar to those of us who lived through the Cold War, doesn’t seem to be working,'” Ocasio-Cortez said in a Twitter post accompanied by an article that argues the fear around socialism is beginning to recede.

“Drumming fear around socialism is the GOP’s big play, & it’s failing, bc capitalism = GoFundMe as our national healthcare system,” she added.

Even if they tried, Republicans couldn't do a better job of scaring people from socialism than the Odd Squad is doing. **nononono*

Socialism, you can vote your way in, but you have to shoot your way out.

Socialism, be it socialism or simply a cradle to grave welfare state, eventually fails because you can never defeat math or economics. And, the drive of humans to pursue self interest is ingrained deeply in our DNA

Once the Liberals started mixing Socialism and Radical Sharia Islam together, as if they are the same or similar thing, that is scary to a lot of people including many Muslims. I believe AOC is way too stupid and childish to understand what the people she has joined up with represent. She believes in her own little fantasy of what socialism is, regardless of all known history. But she does not understand that radical Islam is the exact opposite of the version of socialism she has created in her childlike mind.

Islam does not believe in magic fairy dust money falling from the air, or unicorns pooping rainbows.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

AOC wasn't born until after the USSR fell. What does she know about the Cold War?

She doesn't know anything about anything but it doesn't stop her from flapping her jaws.

What scares people away from socialism is the living memory of more than 100 million human beings in the 20th century, all murdered in the name of "progress".

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
