I don't believe it. I actually agree with AOC on something

I've cited socialist countries, eg, N Korea.
You've just not admitted they're socialist, preferring to claim
that capitalist countries like Denmark are "socialist". So your
posts are naught but Stalinist propaganda.

I don't recall ever claiming that Denmark is socialist.

AOC criticizes civil forfeiture abuse.
Although she sees is as a problem because it affects blacks.
(It seems she's unaware or unconcerned that whites are affected too.)
But hey, at least she's addressing the issue.

All you need is love.
Facebook gives millions of people what they want.
How dare they. :mad:
That's the government's job.

That's true. Facebook gives me what I want, and that's connection with other Beatles' fans from around the world. Other than that, I don't use it. I have family and friends whom I befriended, but I hardly 'like' or comment on their posts, and I don't post anything on my personal profile. I also try to limit the amount of time I spend on Facebook, as well as Twitter and Instagram, too.
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
is it just me or has AOC gotten prettier since she's been in office? I guess money does that :D
Wait until she makes her first million. However any beauty she has will be short lived. Politics long term, turns women into hagged witches and goblins. Both sides of the isle. "0]

Everything bad in politics is "socialist" by definition.
You misunderstand.
It's that every socialist country is bad.
I consider famine, oppression, & censorship to
be "bad". Perhaps those traits are your "good"?

Although your "bad" might not include
famine, oppression, censorship, etc.
And because socialism is bad, everything bad is socialism. Every bad government that ever existed was a socialist one, therefore every socialist government was bad. Every bad policy is socialist, therefore socialist policies are bad.

QED.

By your rationale....
Because dogs have tails,
everything with a tail is a dog.
North Korea proves that every single socialist idea is inherently bad and evil, even (and especially) the ones that stand in direct and total opposition to the reality of the North Korean Juche regime, because socialism is intrinsically bad and evil.

N Korea is just one example.
One cannot generalize from one
when there are many.

Goodness...I shouldn't have to
splain such basic reasoning.
Ferriners....often so lacking.

No. There is only North Korea, the USSR, and the Khmer Rouge. It is intrinsically impossible for a socialist policy to be anything other than Stalinist/Juche/Khmer Rouge oppression by definition. Any other example is either exactly like Stalin's Soviet Union, or not socialist.

Any policy that is called "socialist" can therefore be defined as leading inevitably towards one of those three outcomes, because "socialism" is defined to be only one of these three possible forms of government (which are really one and the same).

Therefore, when AOC calls herself a "democratic socialist" and her policy proposals "socialism", she can only ever be meaning that she aspires to turn the US into Stalin's USSR, Kim's North Korea, or Pol Pot's Cambodia. Because those are the only possible modes in which "socialist" policies can be enacted, and the only possible outcomes for any kind of policy that is being called "socialist".

And Cuba.
All are/were bad.
Which is really just the Soviet Union, but speaking Spanish.

Therefore, Spanish speaking self declared "democratic socialists" can only really be exactly like Stalin.
Hence, AOC seeks to establish a new Soviet Union, or possibly renew the Khmer Rouge and murder all people wearing glasses, just like George Orwell (who famously called himself a "democratic socialist") did.
