In an interview with Atlantic correspondent Ta-Nehisi Coates. socialist congressional representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) stated the Democratic party does not represent the political left in the United States. She called the Party a “centre or centre-conservative”. She stated the Party “can’t even get a floor vote” on nationalizing health care. "We don’t have a ‘left party’ in the United States.”
AOC said there are “left members inside the Democratic party” — including freshman congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, among others — ”who are working to try to make that shift happen”.
The Stalinist stated “There are a lot of true believers that we can ‘capitalism’ our way out of poverty. If anything, that’s probably the majority.”
She also believes a more Soviet approach should be used against protesters. AOC stated: “There’s this gun rights protest that’s happening down in Richmond ... on MLK Day, but here’s the image that has struck me the most about that, is that when we go out and march for the dignity and the recognition of the lives of people like Freddie Gray and Eric Garner, the whole place is surrounded by police in riot gear without a gun in sight. And here are all of these people flying Confederate flags with semi-automatic weapons, and there’s almost no police officers at that protest. So who or what are our institutions protecting, from whom? That image conveys it all.”
Thus, any protest she disagrees with should be met with force. This was the old Soviet way of dealing with dissenters. It should be noted there were no riots nor violence during the gun rights protest in Richmond. However, there was wide spread violence during the Freddie Gray and Eric Garner protests - thus the need for officers during the two latter demonstrations.
AOC's views are so far left, she even classifies the Democratic Party as a centralist conservative Party. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should be classified as a neo Soviet totalitarian. She wants the government to control people and she wants to be part of that government.
