Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “No one ever makes a billion dollars,” she said. “You take a billion dollars.” And the crowd went wild. ... “billionaires are inherently, morally corrupt,” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtr8HXwsEs This envy-fuelled Marxism continues to rise for the moment. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez told the audience that wealthy people “sat on a couch” while “undocumented workers” earning “slave wages” created all the wealth and value. She went on, chuckling that “there is a case” that “billionaires are inherently, morally corrupt,” and that “if Jeff Bezos wants to be a good person he’d turn Amazon into a worker cooperative. . .” And this is the solution that AOC is posing; she wants to completely upend the system and turn the country into a Marxist collective. Notwithstanding the corrupt-ness or otherwise of Bezos, Gates or Zuckerberg, this scurge of Marxism and its consent to destroy civilization on the effective foundation of envy, is on all our heads, literally (according to history - Lenin and Trotsky, Pol Pot, Stalin and others). You see, first they come for to slaughter the billionaires, and most don't speak out against the evil of envy-fuelled Marxism, then they come to slaughter the millionaires, and most don't speak out against the evil of envy-fuelled Marxism, then they come to slaughter the intellectuals and most don't speak out against the evil of envy-fuelled Marxism, and then they come for you. 'When will I speak out?' Back to AOC: AOC is clearly an intelligent person, and some of what she says is true. One of her central themes, in fact, is that a lot of people are getting screwed by the system. And it’s hard to argue with that. The primary danger, as is the case with most politicians, is that AOC doesn’t seem to have a grasp of the problem. Why are people getting screwed by the system? Why is healthcare so expensive? Why is education so expensive? Why haven’t many workers’ wages kept up with inflation? She makes no attempt to understand the root cause of these issues, and that’s extremely counterproductive. No one can solve a problem which they haven’t properly defined. Instead, AOC simply blames wealthy people for all the ills of the world – the wealth gap, environmental issues, social injustice, etc. And her solution for everything is to confiscate their property. Not to be outdone, two separate sets of video recordings have recently been leaked by Project Veritas in which Bernie Sanders campaign staffers call for violent revolution and for wealthy people to be incarcerated in forced labor camps. One of them even said, “Guillotine the rich!” ... And all of this, of course, has taken place in a time when gangs of violent thugs (who call themselves ‘Antifa’) have started roaming the streets of major cities and physically assaulting their perceived political opponents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WzMZxT-41k It almost makes me breathe a sigh of relief: it’s finally out there in the open. These Bolsheviks are finally saying what’s really on their minds– they’re not bothering to hide their true thoughts anymore. They want to punish and kill rich people. They want violence. They want to steal private property and redistribute it to workers. It almost seems like a weird twist on that hilarious scene in Monty Python where the peasant from the “anarcho-syndicalist commune” gets into an altercation with King Arthur and shouts, “Now we see the violence inherent in the system!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axE83zcx6wY Except it’s not a comedy. This is real life. And all of it would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Justify the lynching of billionaires, and you justify the lynching of yourself and your family - all your privilege, see... - You live and work in a literal pod? That's -privilege- and don't you forget it, or it's the gulag for you and your unborn children! - You have a degree, and $150,000 in debt? Moar privilege, WATCH YOUR STEP, you OWE YOUR LIFE (and all your priviledge) to the 6 billion poor people in the world! - Got good marks at college? What else but unearned privilege - your marks might be communalized soon, for EQUITY, MUFFAH! How DARE you even consider opposing equity, inclusivity, and infinity reparations! Right-think camps for you! Original article quoted extensively above: "Now We See The Violence Inherent In The System" https://www.zerohedge.com/political/now-we-see-violence-inherent-system
