DSA member Ocasio-Cortez beats incumbent Congressman in New York Democratic Party primary
Local Rhode Island talk radio this morning SHOCKED by the unexpected primary victory of a " socialist - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez . The mainstream news media would have us believe that " socialism " is forever anathema within the United States.
Before the bigshot newsman came on all I heard was " socialist " victory in New York - a devastating blow to the Establishment of the Democratic Party. And that young woman was a disciple of Bernie Sanders !
The bigshot " celebrity " only referred to Alexandria Ocasio -Cortex as a " liberal " and " progressive ". For him " socialist " still bordered on the taboo, the officially " dangerous " and sinister un-respectable.
But no " socialist " survives " as a serious socialist in that snake pit of the Democratic Party. It will reform YOU quicker than YOU will reform this ruling class controlled party.
Whenever I comment elsewhere about the ruling class controlling BOTH the Democratic Party and the Republican Party some anonymous troll invariably asks : " Have you had your meds this morning ? "
Was that not a STALINIST tactic : DISSENT = mental instability ? Is that a " conversation " -a snarky remark "
You will see in the coming election season how the ruling class tries to control the parameters of public debate . To be sure, CAPITALISM will not be up for debate - not even with " socialists " like old Bernie Sanders still around.
The " liberal " Democrats will all agree on the wickedness of Donald Trump and his base of " deplorables ". They might even scorn ordinary " civility " - which never hurts revolutionary socialists.
They won't say STOP WORLD WAR III , cut the military budget . In fact, JUNK THE WAR MACHINE !
