DNC Chair Tom Perez Declares Socialist Ocasio-Cortez "The Future Of Our Party"

Classic Liberals are now considered Conservatives. The roadmap for progress for the left is now:

Modern Libralism --> Socialism --> Communism --> Totalitarianism

The only thing I want to tell them is.

DESTROY the BATFE.

I like my firearms like D's like their voters.

Anyone will do.

Tom Perez just OFFICIALLY rolled out the red carpet for Republicans to walk into whatever office they choose in our great country.

Thank-you Tommy!

They thought they would win 2016 so thoroughly, that they have no idea what to do but forge ahead with the agenda as if Hillary had won.

Well who would have ever seen that coming, talk about being blind sided.

Hope you didn't mind the change to what you posted.

Since Progressivism is just a rebranded form of Socialism now.

However, we need to get Progressive voters to understand what they are voting for.

This is the DSA in their own words:

www.dsa-la.org...

We, the Democratic Socialists of America - Los Angeles (DSA-LA) Chapter, Immigration Justice Committee demand the abolition of ICE, the immediate reunification of detained families, the halt of any detentions or deportations, and for the immediate resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions & Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen.

As socialists, we stand in solidarity with all immigrants and refugees in the struggle against capitalist exploitation. Borders are inherently violent: they define strict and artificial rules for the occupation and mobility of people, who are often displaced by various economic, social, and environmental pressures, including war and other forms of violence.

Many come to the United States as refugees or economic migrants because capitalism and U.S. imperialism create and sustain cycles of poverty, ecological collapse, and violence. Historically, the United State has been responsible for the destabilization of not only Mexico and Central America, but also all of South America.

The current immigration system exists to sustain global material exploitation. Immigration law in the United States is crafted around white nationalist, colonial state-building projects, and its enforcement is guided by capitalist concerns.

The common liberal position on “immigration reform” leaves much to be desired. We do not want guest worker programs that benefit businesses. We do not believe that the main reason to defend the rights of undocumented immigrants or formerly documented people is because no one else will do “those jobs.” We wholeheartedly reject the narrative—perpetuated, at times, even by former immigrants who prey upon their brethren—that deems some undocumented persons such as DREAMers good, deserving, or otherwise productive members of the workforce, and others bad or undeserving threats to public safety. We do not think that someone’s worth as a person is tied to the economic growth they generate.

As socialists, we are uniquely positioned to take a stand on this issue in ways that other groups will not. We must Abolish ICE and all forms of imprisonment and the carceral state. We cannot abide while people live in cages for the crime of living with material concerns. We cannot stop with the dissolution of ICE, we must ensure that all parts of this machine are abolished, including Customs and Border Protection and the greater Department of Homeland Security which houses ICE.

That's similar to what Chuck Todd (yes Trump hater CHUCK TODD) said on MSNBC yesterday. "Trump is WINNING so much, that Democrats are reeling!"

That's RIGHT!

If people are going to get exploited.

The only people that get to do that is D's.

D's wants equality. Everyone as equal slaves under their control.

I mean this is crazy right? This can not be how even the hardest edged democrat thinks?

As much as I liked the tenacity of Trump there needs to be balance.

Pushing each extreme is the definition of scorched earth.

You are under the assumption that 80-90% of Democrat voters will even hear about this type of thing.

It's Official . The Democrat Alleged Leadership of that Party has a Death Wish Not Only for Themselves , but for our Democratic Republic . Time to put the Rest of them to Bed in Nov.....


MAGA !

This is nothing new ... they had their commie POTUS in Obama.

a reply to: infolurker

The DNC just stuck a fork in themselves if this is the direction they want to move.

Even without their own base, there are people who are utterly horrified at the notion of socialism or communism. The 80's weren't really that long ago.

Yeah, what’s the surprise in this, or is everyone just clutching pearls and gasping at the thought of “evil socialism” taking over America?

Capitalism at least in the form we have today won’t survive the coming AI/automation revolution, it’s not that some labor will be taken over by robots, given the time and technology there won’t be much, if any labor left for humans to do. The system will change, how bloody the transition will be, wil be up to us.

Yeah, they told us this in the 80's as well. Robots would be doing all the manufacturing. Well, almost 40 years later and robots are only doing a fraction and it is not autonomous by any means. Hell, they can't get self driving little cars to work so I don't think we will have automated trucking anytime soon. Besides kiosk like small scale operations, I don't think we have much to worry about for a long long time.
