Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounces socialists and praises Biden administration, Democratic Party

On March 19, the Democratic Socialists of America’s magazine Democratic Left published an interview with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in which the Democratic congresswoman and DSA member combines the most lavish praise for the Democratic Party with vicious denunciations of socialism.

Evidently, imperialism for the benefit of capitalism is just fine for AOC.

In the interview, Ocasio-Cortez presents the Democratic Party as having been completely transformed into a working class party. She says the Biden administration and incumbent Democrats are “totally reinvent[ing] themselves in a far more progressive direction.” Pressure from the left has forced “almost a radical change” among entrenched Democratic leaders. What is needed, she says, is a turn deeper into Democratic Party electoral politics.

{The only barrier to the Democratic Party establishment achieving perfection is left-wing opposition. This politician who made a career criticizing the “Democratic establishment” and posturing as an outsider has now transformed herself into the establishment’s fiercest defender and a most bitter opponent of outside critics.}

Well, none of us seen this coming

{The example of protecting immigrants from deportation is an unfortunate selection on Ocasio-Cortez’s part. In the weeks since the interview, Biden has suspended the right to asylum and deported tens of thousands of Central American refugees, denying them as much as a court hearing. Perhaps Ocasio-Cortez considers that the 15,000 children presently detained in immigration jails are “privileged bad faith actors” for opposing their own incarceration.}

They aren't just detained either. They're cramped into cages like animals in which Biden denied access to the press during a recent visit last week. Keeping them corralled in preconditioned areas for the event.

{Ocasio-Cortez and the DSA are carrying forward their pro-imperialist, anti-communist traditions into the 21st century. Their main role, as expressed in the interview, is to serve as gatekeepers of the bourgeois political left, channeling social opposition into the Democratic Party and placing its left opponents beyond the pale. Those who fight to mobilize the working class (“class essentialism&rdquo for a break with the Democratic Party are “cynical bad faith actors” who want to “destroy.”}

If anyone remembers, her first press statement after her winning night was support for Hillieary Clinton. Then she went toothless on replacing Nancy Pelosi as minority speaker. These are people that have openly voiced opposition on nearly everything she came to the gate speaking support for. And from the very beginning I seen through it all after fact checking her past, finding her to seemingly be a plant into the democratic party she now obvious is.

First she was presented to the public as just another citizen from nowhere as a bartender running in the DSA party. As I researched her I found that to be a major false narrative. Her family came from a fairly wealthy background. She served under Ted Kennedy in his immigration office and spent her entire collage days in the political arena. She just happen to manage to beat one of the strongest democratic candidates in her areas history with little money and little campaigning, winning off a video that just happen to go viral just shortly before the election. !PLEASE! No, what happen was Joe got rewarded into lobbyist world while she got fakely planted into a seat by deceit. Now she's another glorified politician within a delusional reality of her followers.

{Under these conditions, Ocasio-Cortez and the DSA serve as the keystone in the architecture of the capitalist political system. This is a lesson of the reactionary role played by the political tradition that calls itself “democratic socialism,” which really has nothing to do with socialism at all.}
