And in the TRUE Socialist universe......
NBC News - ‎Friday‎, ‎February‎ ‎8‎, ‎2019Hungry Venezuelans seek food at Colombian border, as Maduro blocks supplies
On Thursday, much-needed aid arrived at the Colombian-Venezuelan border, provided and facilitated by the United States Agency for International Development.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has refused to receive the aid. Earlier this week, Maduro said, “We are not a country of beggars.”

On Wednesday, Venezuelan authorities blocked the bridge with metal barricades and freight containers, keeping any vehicle from moving forward into the country.
...........starve the worker bees into submission.

What next, camps with ovens?

Meanwhile the New Champion of American Socialism(move over Bernie), A.O-C. has revealed her 'New Green Deal'. Containing a call to replace all airplanes in the United States with 'high speed trains'........that's gonna work REALLY great when traveling from LA to Honolulu...........

The plan also calls for elimination of all greenhouse gas emissions by farmers........(bovine flatulence included)........

Spooky. But Trump always says that it is he who is the victim of a witch hunt.
Does that mean that Trump perhaps is a witch?

LOL:)
But one thing I'm sure about even though I'm not a feminist.
If AOC was a man she would be treated very different.

I like the Politics of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders :-)
Medicare, an essential government-sponsored health care program,
that provides medical coverage to virtually all of the nation’s elderly,
and a large share of people with disabilities.
I am old enough to remember at the time of its creation,
conservatives like Ronald Reagan and dixiecrats who became republicans,
strongly opposed Medicare,
warning that a government-run program would lead to socialism and then lead to Communism in America ;-) LOL
you may find hard to beleive,
but the conservatives like Ronald Reagan and dixiecrats who became republicans,
realy beleived that LOL

Cheers Comrades ;-) LOL

‘Bad guy’: AOC’s ‘sensational’ five-minute takedown US finance laws.

And she's totally spot on, it's a system that breeds corruption to start with and needs fixing fast. ;-)

FYI in English a male witch is usually called a warlock or occasionally a wizard. However, considering how much of a pu$$y Rump is witch might be correct.

OB I suspect there are many who would change the "W" to a "B" when talking about Ms. Ocsio-Cortez.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Amazon abandoning its plans for a New York headquarters proves 'anything is possible'

Amazon will not be building a headquarters in New York City, according to a statement released by the company on Thursday which noted that "a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence."
The company's long search for a site of an additional headquarters culminated in a November announcement of plans to locate "HQ2" in Long Island City, New York, and Arlington, Virginia.
One of the most vocal opponents of Amazon's planned presence in Queens was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose congressional district borders the district that includes Long Island City.
"Anything is possible," she tweeted on Thursday in response to Amazon's decision. "Today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."
In November, Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues raised concerns about the cash and tax incentives used to attract Amazon to New York.
"Amazon is a billion-dollar company," she tweeted at the time. "The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here."

Conservatives can’t stop obsessing over Ocasio-Cortez. Their latest target: her boyfriend.
Claims that because her boyfriend has a House email address, that he must be on her staff and paid.

A spokesperson for the chamber’s Office of the Chief Administrative Officer explained, that does not mean he’s an employee.
“From time to time, at the request of members, spouses and partners are provided House email accounts for the purposes of viewing the member’s calendar,” the spokesperson said.

Her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, told The Post that, “Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s partner, Mr. Roberts, has no official position, paid or otherwise, with her congressional office. Members of Congress have very tightly scheduled calendars that their family members and partners are allowed to access to make personal plans around official schedules.”

Is a Capitalist Social Welfare State which uses the wealth produced by Capitalism for the people's benefit.
Totally agree, however, it will have to be tightly controlled to prevent, as we currently see, abuse at all levels of the scale.

Will it happen? Not a hope in hell!
