Ben Shapiro going full ML leftist because he's pissed about how hot AOC looked in that dress.
He became a Lenin fanboy after reading him destroy liberals every other page with facts and logic
Do....do you think we could convert some chuds by framing Lenin in that way?
Every two seconds on the internet someone comes up with a new way they think they'll trick chuds into becoming socialists
Explaining to an army of chuds that a revolutionary vanguard would also trigger the libs.
lol in a way he actually deeply needs AOC to be for real more than a lot of leftist. He has no other struggle to define himself by.
He's going to do one of those FBI entrapment schemes, but to get AOC to become an ML.
Let's say, hypothetically, okay, for the sake of argument, that when our time comes we will make no excuses for the terror :kubrick-stare:
Ah, I can see that mr Shapiro has also seen the capitalist realism meme on this subject. Don’t worry Ben, I haven’t read it either.
I love how he had to add the radical line himself, because tax the rich is such a moderate proposal that his fanbass would probably agree with it. Hell, over 70% of the country already does.
Literally who thinks the rich shouldn't be taxed at all? Only a few ancap cranks. Obviously there's a silent "more" in there, but still, almost no one disagrees that the rich should pay taxes.
Hello I'm gonna be a pedant. I technically don't believe in taxation because I'm a communist who wants the private sector seized or repressed to the point of political subordination. Needing to tax the rich would represent an unstable public sector and I wouldn't agree with a model that anticipates tax income as part of its spending. As in, if we're going to tax the rich in a socialist economy, we had better only be doing that to punish them for being rich and not because we need the money. Something like 87% of Cubans don't pay taxes and the ones who do own private businesses. The Cuban economy doesn't primarily rely upon taxation from its wealthiest to fund the state, which is what I advocate for.
Nerd! Also true, socialist states always have had low tax rates
She says she is more than a socdem lib, tons of normal people(chuds or not) have her in mind when they think of socialism, its the media's representation of socialism and tons of american leftists still see her(less than used to) and electoralism+entryism in the democratic party through politicians like her as valid approaches for the radical left to focus on, coalesce, support with money and manpower, organize around and brand as
AOC has directly said she's attempting to redefine what socialism means. I believe she was once put on the spot to define it in a sentence, which she did as "no one has to be poor." You're right that she's not a radical and never claimed to be, the problem is she wants to take radical rhetoric and distort the meaning on purpose.
