On March 19, the Democratic Socialists of America’s magazine Democratic Left published an interview with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez combining lavish praise for the Democratic Party with vicious denunciations of socialism.
It’s not power that corrupts, it’s motives. AOC’s motive is the accumulation of cloat and the furthering of neoliberalism.
the Democrats only cared about the ICE tragedy - which was previously overseen by Obama, btw - because they could use it as a means of obtaining support against Trump. They’ve stopped talking about it, simply because it no longer benefits them to - in fact it hurts them. They can’t criticize the detainment of immigrants without also outing themselves as supporters of that detainment, so they’re just not going to.

I think after a certain point, it doesn’t matter a whole lot what her intentions are, when her actions are consistently in support of neoliberalism.

I’m not conflating her with the DNC, she’s a primary figurehead of the ‘DSA wing of the DNC’ along with ‘the squad’.
She’s very much neoliberal, and always has been.
hey just because her voting record screams neoliberal doesn’t mean she is a neoliberal. she said she is a socialist like those in the UK.
If she was in UK labour, she’d’ve been one of the opportunists who called Corbin an anti-semite.
