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,”

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.

  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!”

  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!
