U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said capitalism is ‘not a redeemable system’ for Americans and represents a ‘pursuit of profit’ with disregard for any human, environment and social consequences run by an elite minority, The Daily Mail reports.
The New York democratic socialist slammed the US economy during an interview with Yahoo Finance’s Andy Serwer, explaining that it was controlled by a small group of capitalists who make money and ‘don’t have to work.’
‘They can control our labor. They can control massive markets that they dictate and can capture governments,’ Ocasio-Cortez, 32, said. ‘And they can essentially have power over the many. And to me that is not a redeemable system for us to be able to participate in for the prosperity and peace for the vast majority of people.’
Ocasio-Cortez also said that capitalism was flawed at its core, saying, ‘To me, capitalism at its core, what we’re talking about when we talk about that, is the absolute pursuit of profit at all human, environmental, and social cost.’ She said that under the economic system, a nation’s power is held by an elite and wealthy minority, calling out billionaires Charles Koch and David Koch, whose family is worth more than $100 billion and have a hold on the fuel and oil industries.

I think she should preach her” brilliant philosophy ” in Venezuela
Hey. Everyone on Capital Hill is a capitalist! They make the money and call the shots just to ruin the little people first. AOC is maybe the first dog to bit its owner’s hand that feeds it. Is she for real?
This glorified bartender absolutely insists on proving her total stupidity, lack of education, and inability to shut up, on a daily basis.
But yet she is a congresswomen whose voice and opinion matters and you are busy commenting on Matzav.
Run for office and your voice can matter too.
Why doesn’t Ms. Cortez wear a disposable mask in public???
Mask mandates are for people, not for their pets.
