AOC trying to explain the difference between socialism and communism: “I think to me the fundamental differences… I mean, there is many. One prevailing one is democracy. Democratic socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy and we believe in the ballot box.” Translation: “I have no idea, but please don’t notice.” She...

AOC: DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS ARE "FUNDAMENTALLY PRO-DEMOCRACY!" Sure, whatever you say... Host Jon Karl set it up on ABC's "This Week," asking, "What in your mind is the difference between socialism and communism?" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez answered, "One prevailing one is democracy. And I believe that Democratic Socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy." So the only thing she could think of that separates the DSA from communism is the fact we have elections?! Otherwise, fundamentally the same? Wow.

🚨 BREAKING: Communist Zohran Mamdani is asked to EXPLAIN what a "Democrat Socialist" is.. Q: "Explain the difference. What is the difference between a Democrat, a democratic socialist and a communist?" ZOHRAN: "I'm a democratic socialist who's also a Democrat. I explain it in the words of Dr. King from decades ago, who said Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There must be a better distribution of wealth for all of god's children in this country."

One of the biggest political misunderstandings in America is that people keep confusing communism, socialism, democratic socialism, and social democracy as if they’re the same thing. They’re not. MAGA calls everything to the left of them “communism.” That’s intellectually lazy and historically wrong. But here’s the Hyparadox: parts of the left don’t help either. Many people around Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Mamdani advocate policies that are much closer to Nordic-style social democracy, yet they still call themselves for some reason a democratic socialists. That creates even more confusion and gives MAGA an easy target. It reminds me of calling a real Football ⚽️ a soccer. I was born under real socialism and communism in Poland. I watched that system collapse, I hated it. That’s exactly why I support social democracy, not communism and not authoritarian socialism, or democratic socialism. Democratic Socialism is a one step before socialism which usually leads to communism. Social democracy means a democratic capitalist economy with a strong safety net, universal healthcare, workers’ rights, and equal opportunity. That’s Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland. Those countries are not communist. They’re among the freest, wealthiest, and most innovative societies on Earth. Democratic socialism is criticizing capitalism, which social democracy is actually based on. The same thing happens with Israel. I support Israel’s right to exist. I support Jewish people. I always have. At the same time, I have no problem saying: Fuck Netanyahu, his government, and anyone who supports policies I believe are immoral. Criticizing a government is not the same as hating an entire people. America desperately needs to stop arguing with labels and start arguing with reality.

Military Veteran on the Rise in Socialism/Communism: “I think that voters are not going to reject it because they have no idea what communism is. My family lived… their whole lives were under communism. And I blame the colleges. The colleges and the school system don’t teach these kids what communism [is] where we are. How we became a country as what we are today.”

Bill O’Reilly takes Zohran Mamdani back behind the woodshed: “It’s a supply and demand country… Now, Mamdani doesn’t want that. He’s not a socialist; he’s a communist. Mamdani’s greatest quote is, ‘I agree with seizing the means of production.’ That’s communism, not socialism.” “Because in order to seize something, you have to use force, and that’s what the communists do.”

Zohran Mamdani outright says his end goal is communism How the hell is this dude allowed to stay in our country much less run for office He clearly says he’s lying and pretending to be a socialist, until he has the numbers to be a communist “We clearly do not have the numbers as they are in this moment to win the radical legislation that we need to bring about — We have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism — The end goal of seizing the means of production” Seizing the means of production is a core idea of classical communism, especially Marxism “The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest… all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State…” — Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels Seizing the means of production is a defining feature of revolutionary communism

No one should be surprised that the average CNN viewer doesn't understand the difference between Capitalism and Socialism. We have failed the next generation when they're unable define the basics of what it means to live in a socialist or capitalist society. Embarrassing.

Kamala Harris: We cannot despair. We cannot despair. The nature of a democracy is such that I think there's a duality. On the one hand, there's an incredible strength when our democracy is intact. An incredible strength in what it does to protect the freedoms and rights of its people. Oh, there's great strength in that. And it is very fragile. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. And so that's the moment we're in. And I say do not despair because in a democracy, as long as we can keep it, in our democracy the people, every individual has the power to make a decision about what this will be. And so let's not feel powerless. Because then we have been defeated. And that's not our character as the American people. We are not one to be defeated. We rise to a moment and we stand on broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country. And in many ways let us look at the challenge then that we are being presented and not be overwhelmed by it. The baton is now in our hands, to fight for, not against, but for this country we love.

Francesca Hong when asked if voters should fear socialism and communism: “No. This is a state where we will still have a $2.33 tipped minimum wage and $7.25 minimum wage. It's gonna be hard to turn that into socialism soon, but what we can do is fight for policies that put working-class people first.” This is a better answer than what we normally get from democratic socialists running for office. We live under a dystopian capitalist system where 70% of Americans struggle to afford housing, healthcare, and groceries, yet the media and both parties constantly fearmonger about socialism. It’s insanity! Socialists need to stop backing down when asked about socialism and communism. It’s not only weak but also concedes power to the capitalist system people are struggling under and fighting against. Socialists should pivot to policies that improve the material conditions of the working class and call out the absurd notion that we should “fear socialism” when we live under a capitalist system that’s failing the majority as it consolidates wealth into fewer and fewer hands. What people should fear is capitalism because it’s the reason our country is in decay.

AOC: They’re trying to inject conversations about communism in order to scare people. But at the end of the day, the thing that’s most important are the policies that we believe in. I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

When in Munich AOC embarrassed herself and the country with her ignorance. Here👇 when asked if she became president would she impose a wealth tax, she says it needs to be done now, whoever is president. 🤦‍♀️ And then comes the good part. She gets absolutely schooled on the idiocy of her comment. Democrats like AOC and Bernie Sanders believe their brand of socialism would be the first to work in the history of the world. 🤨 Socialism is always for the socialist, not the people. 💯 👇👀🎥👏

Sen. Fetterman fires off a blunt message to AOC, Bernie Sanders, and every “Democratic socialist” in his party. As they try to take over the party, Fetterman gave them this reality check: “I promise you America’s future and my party’s future is not socialism or kinds of outlandish, far-left kinds of ideas.” He even said outright that the far-left wing is the reason Democrats are in this political hole. “It’s been a year [since] we lost the election. And part of those ideas pushed our party over the cliff. And that’s why we’re in this situation right now. That’s why we’re firmly in the minority, and that’s why we’ve lost control of the White House.” Fetterman kept going, drawing a clear line between what wins and what loses. “If you think [socialism] is a solution, that’s fine, but it’s going to be a competition of ideas, and we know that’s not going to prevail,” Fetterman said. “What’s going to prevail is common sense. What’s going to prevail is choosing this country over the extreme in our party. What’s going to prevail is common sense,” he stressed. “And I do believe… we should respond [to Trump] with order and logic and patriotism and not shutting down our government right now,” Fetterman argued. “And that’s where I’m at. And I don’t know why that’s controversial. That’s not a big tent party if you’re not allowed to have the opinion that it’s wrong to shut our government down and put these people in the middle of it.”

ELON: WE MUST PUT AN END TO THE TYRANNY OF THE BUREAUCRACY “In order for us to be a true democracy, a functioning democracy, the government must be responsive to the people. That's literally what democracy means. However, when you have a vast unelected bureaucracy that is not answerable to the public, and if the elected officials, the President, the people in Congress and the Senate, if they don't have the power to affect the bureaucracy — and it's actually extremely difficult to affect the bureaucracy — then you do not have rule of the people. Then, you do not have democracy, but you have rule of the bureau — bureaucracy. And this is obviously wrong. It is unconstitutional, and it is imperative, therefore, that we return power to the people of the country and not have tyranny of the bureaucracy, which we most definitely have had to a degree that is absurd. It's not just that there's an unconstitutional fourth branch of the government, but it is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.” Source: DOGE update on 𝕏 Spaces, February 2025

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care. So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
