    AOC is pretty great, and I'm tired of pretending she's not.

          There is simply no point in improving people's lives if it isn't in pursuit of socialism

              Those are all reasons not to limit ourselves to social reforms, none of them come close to saying that there's no point doing them in the first place

      I think she's a DemSoc who believes she's a socialist because of the reasons you mentioned

      cold war propaganda about socialism being free health care and public education

      doesn't cold war propaganda say that socialism is when you are a slave to the government that has total control over your life?

        exactly, then add the two together, healthcare = socialisms = you are a slave therefore only slaves have free healthcare

    Also AOC: You're wrong Mr Manchin, we're going to establish socialism in America with free healthcare for everyone as an option and cheap or free college and other things. Now if you excuse me I have to get back to my meeting on how to destabilize China and what new propaganda we're going to release on Bolivia and Venezuela to attempt to undermine them in preparation for the coups we have planned there. What? Internationalism? What? Anti-imperialism, that's red fash talk sweetie. Don't you know America comes first?

        Socialism is when you promise people they will get healthcare funded by superprofits extracted from the global south but like hypothetically in the future someday.

        Fuck you liberal. Socialism without internationalism, without anti-imperialism, without solidarity is just labor aristocracy and extra privilege for one set of people over the rest of the world. A condition that already exists in the US but which collaborators like you, who do not truly want capitalism abolished so much as a larger share of the spoils, want to defend and expand. Again fuck you Amerikkkan chauvinist. The world is more than your domestic concerns at the heart of your evil empire.

        Unlike Bernie I doubt she was ever anything but a liberal appropriating revolutionary sounding rhetoric to get power.

        And she cannot lift the boot off the American people's neck, it is a boot they are invested in as they benefit from imperialism under capitalism. Even if they did not she could not lift it because you cannot do that through reformism. You cannot reform away capitalism or its brutality. I hate saying this but please just read theory, any fucking theory from Lenin.
