If it reads like a communist manifesto, centrally-plans like a communist manifesto, and redistributes like a communist mainfesto then it is probably a communist manifesto…
None other than everyone’s favorite once-bartender, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), has unveiled her manifesto for a “just society” and if you thought The Green New Deal was out there, this one will amuse and amaze.
“A just society provides a living wage, safe working conditions, and healthcare. A just society acknowledges the value of immigrants to our communities. A just society guarantees safe, comfortable, and affordable housing.
“By strengthening our social and economic foundations, we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society.”
Her plan is broken down into six separate sections – all
- The Recognizing Poverty Act
- The Place to Prosper Act
- The Embrace Act
- The Mercy In Re-entry Act
- The Uplift Workers Act
- Guarantees the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights for All
“The Recognizing Poverty Act” would adjust the federal poverty level to account for regional differences, which would seem to help ‘poor’ people on the coasts more than the ‘deplorables’ in the middle of the country.
“The Place to Prosper Act” would prevent year-over-year rent increases of more than three percent.
“The Embrace Act” would allow illegal immigrants to claim the same welfare benefits as U.S. citizens and those immigrants here legally.
As a reminder, a federal public benefit is defined as: “any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of the United States or by appropriated funds of the United States; and… any retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, post-secondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefit, or any other similar benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of the United States or by appropriated funds of the United States.”
“The Mercy In Re-entry Act” ensures full access to Federal welfare benefits for all individuals with criminal convictions.
This section was followed this morning by a pair of tweets promoting “prison abolition, as AOC called for “a real conversation about decarceration [and] prison abolition in this country,” adding:
“A cage is a cage is a cage. And humans don’t belong in them.”
“The Uplift Workers Act” will adjust OMB scoring from dollar-based to “worker-friendliness” including union-membership when deciding on what entities deserve public funds.
Finally, the bill instructs the executive branch to re-initiate ratification processes for the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The ICESCR states that all persons have the right to work, fair and just conditions of work, social security, an adequate standard of living, including adequate food, clothing, housing, and healthcare.

As I post on ZH, I can only hope that at least some people understand that this sort of shit is not sustainable or even possible. Otherwise, idiots like AOC will be the end of the empire. It may well already be over and these raving diatribes are just confirmations of same.
The empire is 100% terminal but the body is still warm. Make your choices accordingly.
PRESENTING AOC As “The Overton Window”. Auditioned, cast and playing the part. Look for the producers and directors.
Diagram this sentence and discover the beauty of circular logic:
[By strengthening our social and economic foundations], we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society.
[ACTION S & E] leads to ACTION Embark to ACTION Save Planet by [ACTION S & E]
Just because it looks like a sentence does not mean it is a complete thought. (Well aware I resemble that remark at times.)
A Just Society is, necessarily, extremely well armed.
Quite right, NtroP.
“Among other evils which being unarmed brings you,
it causes you to be despised.”
–Niccolo Machiavelli
Should say “…it causes you to be easier to control under fascist-communist authoritarian rule.”
SamFox
It causes you to be dead if someone intrudes into your space, so dead and despised, you will look the same on the coroner table!
I still think AOC herself is trolling the country and not serious about her insanity.
But not sure it matters if she is sincere or trolling. Things are nuts. Shit is fucked up and bullshit. I think accelerationism is here from all angles whether we like it or not.
The people who write her scripts are trolling us, using her.
True.
I still think she’s sexy.
sexy like a horse’s ass.
‘
She’s a trojan horse, just look at her mouth.
Look at her mouth? I can say in all honesty I’ve seem smaller teeth in a horse.
Yeah right, if you believe that you must be a snowflake or at least wanting Capitalism to fail, so you and your friends can wither away in a socialist/communist country. Like I saw all those Vietnamese people do in Vietnam!
AOC gives me a bad name. Cuntry.
“decarceration [and] prison abolition”
So the abolition of prisons should mean that I no longer have to pay taxes for fear of incarceration? Duly noted.
One does wonder, though – if others act similarly – where the government will get the money to pay for the promised welfare, education, healthcare, and housing. Especially considering that every one of the 7.5 billion human beings on this planet will be eligible.
This stuff is so inane, shallow, and superficial that it is hard to conceive that it was even written in good faith (if that’s what you can call it). So perhaps we conclude that it’s just another scam to continue pushing the dialog further out beyond the outskirts of sanity. Towards some totalitarian dream of one would-be tyrant or another.
Or maybe she’s just that stupid.
A year ago she was a shit for brains bartender. Now she’s a shit for brains politician. Why would anyone listen to someone with no life experiences and who has shit for brains. I’m baffled.
Do people listen to you, Steve-o?
Maybe, instead of a wall, we line up the Putinators, those who would emigrate to Russia and trade their freedom for security, along the border. They only need to drop their shorts and bend over and walla! the illegals would turn back.
This tactic may not work with the prison folks, they might keep coming.
Great idea.
The USSR is alive and well.
Give the Putinators and communist apologists one way tickets.
Photographic Proof the USSR Still Exists
At some point you are going to run out of disclaimers and have to start to point out a solution.
Much like William Casey’s infamous quote, when everything is the public believes is a lie, we’ll know our job is done.
EC, what is a Putinator? Is it like a Terminator? Are you aware that under Putin there are no GMO crops, a flat tax and free land if someone wishes to develop it? What freedoms do we have left? Do you know why the Alamo is white? Because the Mexicans just kept on coming and coming….down votes incoming….
“Red Tripper”
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now

It took me so long to find out, and I found out
He’s a commie chaser, he took me half the way there

Ok bitch. Decarcerate 2 violent rapists who crushed the skulls of their victims.
Then provide them with free room and board at your residence for their release halfway house designated domicile.
Pay for their UBI, and healthcare costs from your congressional salary.
Let’s see how long you’ll last.
But, if you do survive that experiment, you’re no longer allowed to be transported by jet, car, bus, cab or anything requiring an internal combustion engine.
Walk to your office, even in winter.
No NG to heat your home either.
Further, no cow meat for you.
Strictly oats and barley and quinoa to chew as gruel for your sustenance, Horse Chops.
You first, for ALL your lamebrain suggestions.
You’re a fucking ignorant arrogant bitch who has no concept of how the real world functions.
Your unicorn shits Skittles for all, now, doesn’t it?
Congresswoman. What a sick joke this nation has become, under the influence of socialist progressive retards given authority.
Wake the fuck up America.
The parenthetical part was missing:
“A Just (TOTALLY FUCKING PSYCHOTIC) Society”
is what it, the Manifesto, meant to be titled.
We already have a JUST-US system here…
We’ve been legislating “common sense” forever and what do we have to show for It? A country where the average American commits 3 felonies a day according to civil-liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate in his book “3 Felonies a Day”…
The illusion constantly being massaged into the PUBLIC consciousness is that the Rule of Law is being fairly applied to everyone!
And people still defend the system. Talk about delusions.
Just for you, Re: Just Us.

All of a sudden the “Eat the Babies” troll seems that much more mentally stable…
They’re going to have to sell baby meat to pay for her plans.
They been doing that for a while. They say ‘parts’ instead of ‘meat’. I don’t think the Planned Kill Your Child Hoods send the $$ to the treasury.

Compare AOC’s communist babble to Curt Doolittle:
“The foundations of western civilization rely upon traditions we developed during the great age of transformation where we first came into being as western indo europeans. Those traditions are still with us. They are Truth before Face regardless of cost as contribution to the commons; Duty before Self and Family as contribution to the Commons, Heroism and Excellence as Contribution to the Commons; Sovereignty and Reciprocity in Law as contribution to the commons; Observance of The jury and their Verdict as contribution to the commons; Observance of, and Oath To these traditions for membership, and fighting others and defending our own, leaving only voluntary cooperation in markets in allways of life: association, cooperation, reproduction, production of goods and services, production of justice we call law, production of commons we call governing, and production of war – which to our ancestors was an entrepreneurial process, indifferent from the current economic which institutionalize that tradition in commerce.”

The ‘Commons’ is the government – it isn’t the society, namely the people. This idea that the commons should be supported is what got us into this mess.
Giving anything our allegiance is stupid. It eventually uses its power to our detriment. Show me one gov’t in the entire world that’s worth a shit.
It looks as though punish a muslim day in London is April 3rd.
Every day in the UK should be punish a muslim day. Probably should be for their shit politicians, too.
There should be a repatriate Muslims day in many parts of the former Western world. That day should end with the word ‘day.’
No wonder socialism seems sexy.
AOC is sexy.
Rich, powerful, part-Jewish.
Would you let the commie cunt blow you with those choppers? Not me.
AOC is sexy? Oh, nevermind, Miles likes seven yo girls so guess AOC is acceptable.
If that’s ‘sexy’, you need a mental evaluation. Asinine Occasional Cortex reminds me of one of the lizard disguised as a human critters from the sci-fi series V. What’s inside of this ding bat ain’t pretty! Same with most of the dimms now in Congress including the rest of AOC’s idiotic squat.
SamFox
How many poor people do you think Bernie is hosting in his mansions?
I mean, aside from the staff.
Are you kidding? If Bernie had a homeless addict in his house, he’d probably have a heart attack.
How about throwing the fascist dimms & RINO-CINOs out so we can really eliminate poverty.
Besides, the ‘poor’ in the US are what third world populations aspire to, that’s why they sneak in here.

Well done!

The moment they ratified the 19th Amendment this was the inevitable conclusion. I’m actually quite surprised it took this long.
Oh boy, don’t let your wife in on that thought….
In August 2018, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Academy Award-winning director/producer Steven Spielberg announced plans to make a television series based on Elaine Weiss’s best-selling book, The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote.
Asinine Occasional Cortex is this months poster child for imbecil . The other 3 soros sock puppets in the squat & this poor dead brain take turns.

Total insanity! The worst part is that this Numskull actually BELIEVES what she has written! In her Socialist Communist mind, this is the Yellow Brick Road. Yep, and all who follow that path will enter into a Totalitarian Government that controls every mind, thought and action with Big Brother. 1984 scenario for real. When President Reagan said “Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall”, it meant the end of a Communist Dictatorship. However, Communism is obviously still alive and well and desperate to add the USA into their fold. Pinky and the Brain on steroids. World Domination for the greedy, power hungry and poverty and government control for the people. Their followers have been duped to believe that “FREE” stuff is their entitlement. They are not smart enough to understand that whomever gives you “FREE” stuff, especially the Government, owns you. Free College, yep, but only to the school and major they say you can take. FREE benefits, sure, while taxes are raised to 75-80% of our incomes, FREE Healthcare? Get in line, the wait is long for surgeries, hospitalization, etc. Plus with FREE Healthcare, they can determine who lives or dies. You have Cancer, advanced Parkinsons? We are sending you to hospice to die “Gracefully” as Former President Obama put it. If we Americans who know better and have not been deluded by the lies, do not stop this insanity, after we leave this world, our children and grandchildren for generations to come will be eventually under such a tyrannical government. Just look at how many Millenials and younger folks swallow up this BS hook, line and sinker. If we do not stop the madness now, it will be too late for our great country. This inflated “Rule the World” Communist BS has to end here and now with us. Keep God in America and let Him lead the Battle Cry. With God on our side Truth and Justice will prevail. Stand firm and bring this Beast to it’s knees.. Remember, if God be for us who can be against us?
