Just when I was really starting to like her, AOC had to come out and say,

34. I agree with her

I said exactly what she said. I got reamed about it but I don't care. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=18164

UNTIL and UNLESS big business/capitalists can be REMOVED completely from our government and all that serve in it, and their proper regulatory role is restored to FORCE capitalism and big business to work for the common good rather than just for itself, it is irredeemable. And just think how likely THAT is to happen?

Well, it isn't going to.

Thus, Capitalism will remain predatory, parasitic, and rapacious eating and destroying everything and everyone else to save itself. There no cost too great for a sociopathic legal entity to save itself. Corporations are not people and if they were, they'd be sociopaths (no conscience). One objective: make money. At any cost. Period.

That can't work. That doesn't work.

It's irredeemable.

And corporations HAVE taken over our government. This is why regulations are being gutted and now none of them have to pay taxes any longer. It's why NOTHING has been done about climate change - why? Capitalists, lobbyists, corporate CxOs who literally now work in regulatory agencies of our government. Fox guarding the henhouse. Look at what happened to the EPA. Who's running it now?

Well...

I'm sorry everybody is suddenly SO UNCOMFORTABLE with this shit. They SHOULD be. But they should have been 50 years ago when something could have been done about it - maybe.

She's right. We SHOULD be scared. It's about time.
