Really? Show me where she openly said "imperialist social democracy is good." Show me where she openly said anything positive about "imperialism." Or is she not "openly" stating these things, and you're uncharitably reading "imperialism" into comments like "you think Norway has their shit together, well, Norway has universal healthcare"?
The simple explanation here is that (1) she's trying to build support for Medicare for All, and (2) she's associating M4A with countries Americans like to counter narratives like "Obamacare will use death panels to execute grandma." There is no reason to dismiss that straightforward rationale in favor of "AOC is a crypto-imperialist." Again, that's wrecking.
