Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York suggested in a recent social media post that most people "don't really know what capitalism is."
In a Thursday Instagram story, the progressive congresswoman whispered a "secret" to her followers.
"Let me tell you a secret," Ocasio-Cortez said in a whisper. "Most people don't really know what capitalism is. Most people don't even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalists, because they don't have capitalist money. They're not billionaires."
"The label doesn't matter as much as talking about policies," she continued, still whispering.

Most people.....including this MORON don't know what capitalism or socialism are.
So I say "Free Markets", where you can buy what YOU choose to buy without government interference.

A waitress who 'studies' economics but does not have the foggiest about capitalism or socialism. Happens when you steal too many tips!

Nothing Sandy has said or done has shown even one iota of understanding about EITHER Socialism OR Capitalism. So if she knows what either of those economic systems means, that would be a real secret to whisper to her Instagram followers.

So says the spoiled rich little girl from the suburbs of NYC. Only socialists get to own and drive brand new Teslas... and wear thousand dollar designer dresses... and pose for the covers of fashion magazines...and collect salaries of almost $200K. Got it.

To AOC... This is what Communism is...Let's suppose someone like you, AOC is working in a bar.You see a tip jar that does not belong to you. You, AOC, do not have your own tip jar because you did not earn any tips. You feel you are entitled to this tip jar and it should be redistributed to you, AOC. You, AOC, take the tip jar that is not yours but you feel you are more deserving of this tip jar.
That's Communism.
Capitalism is when you work for tips through your labor. The better service you provide, the happier your customers are and the more tips they give you for your effort
I hope this helps...AOC
BTW...That other bartender who works hard wants her tip jar back.

And to think that this piece of work graduated "cum laude" with a degree in Economics from Boston University. This doesn't reflect well on the level of academic rigor and scholarship at that institution . . .

Socialism is not an economic system - it is an ideology.

AOC learned socialism by stealing those bar tips. That's why she loves it so much. Either that or else that's all she learned in college and wasted daddy and mommy's money.

FTA: ""Most people don't really know what capitalism is." Gotta edit that statement and change "people" to "Congressmen from New York"

It usually doesn't work out well when you get on social media while drunk. Ask Geraldo Rivers about that.

It is FREE ENTERPRISE that allows capitalism to flourish in America.
Socialism is oppressive government control of production and distribution and is a formula for economic failure everywhere it is implemented and usually by force only. There is no better way to control populations than socialism which rations everything.

I'll cut to the chase and tell you the REAL difference between capitalism and socialism.
Capitalism harnesses the power of human nature to lift everyone up into a better standard of living. Capitalism rewards those who innovate, take risks, and provide goods and services while NOT incentivizing those who do nothing to better themselves and, by extension, those around them. Take away capitalism and you would not have the computer you are looking at right now, the phone that just sent you a text message to attend an Antifa rally, or 90% of the things you enjoy every day.
Socialism punishes those who work hard and innovate. It rewards people who do nothing.
In the 1970's and 1980's there was a reason that U.S. farm land produced about FOUR TIMES more food per acre than Soviet farm land.
That difference? Capitalism.

We know that AOC while she used her best Joe Biden whisper. I know some people like you don't know, it's not a tip jar, and ask Joe Biden he doesn't know either. What a dumb bunny and a joke.
