Ocasio-Cortez Delivers A Message: Should We Care?

The foundation and root of Socialist ideas are government power and violent force. Socialist governments, both past and present, have produced the largest death counts (of their own citizens) without question. They're in a league of their own. With that being the case, Socialist ideas are constantly being re-named, re-wrapped, and re-packaged in order to get the public to finally acquiesce. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is delivering a message. Should we care?

Ocasio-Cortez Delivers A Message: Should We Care?

Before you answer, keep in mind that it doesn't actually count as "caring" unless Ocasio-Cortez and the government are the ones doing it.

If we object to state-enforced "caring", then obviously, we do not really "care" at all ...

Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
