Recently, in her talk at South by Southwest, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist, made the comment that capitalism is “irredeemable.”
AOC’s comments are a good example of the stark division within the Democratic Party between the far Left and normal people who—for some reason—still identify as Democrats. Democrats (the normal ones) don’t view capitalism as irredeemable; they just tend to be in favor of more government regulation and things like that.
Over the past several years, however, the far Left has been overtaking the Democratic Party to the point that it’s become politically unpopular to be normal and rational. At a CNN town hall last year, when Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats are capitalists, she was criticized by the far Left as being “in denial” about the shifting values of the Party. (You really know you’re a radical Leftist when Nancy Pelosi is too moderate for you.)
It’s hard to deny the growing dislike of capitalism on the Left, particularly among younger people. AOC’s comment that capitalism is irredeemable is reflective of the general mindset of the far Left, which seems to be infecting and taking over the Democratic Party.
