In the sense that we should defend her from sexism, I 100% agree, but let’s not forget that she’s just as imperialist as sanders is.

What’s wrong with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

• She’s a social democrat, not a socialist, fronting for the Democratic party.

  • She votes to keep the US in NATO, who’s been responsible for countless atrocities in Europe and the Middle East.
  • AOC says she will vote for Biden in the 2020 election, saying, “I think it’s incredibly important we support the Democratic nominee in November”.
  • Going back on her promise to only back “progressive democrats” after her election to congress in 2018, she backs Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house.
  • Says her policies are more reminiscent of Norway than Caracas, repeating the right wing myth of socialism destroying Venezuela, and wrongly conflating nordic social democracy with socialism.
  • Says its possible to be both a “democratic socialist” and a Capitalist.
  • Thinks the US military is socialist. Thinks social services like schools and libraries are socialist.
  • AOC selling “law and order” and “family values” and not being “weak on crime” as socialist values.
  • Defends the NYPD during the George Floyd protests, since there are women, black, latino and asian american cops.
  • AOC wants abolish ICE, only to replace it with a resurrected INS, yet another agency whose goal was breaking up families.

• Goes along with democrats and Republicans in backing US puppet Juan Guaido over Maduro in Venezuela.
• Believes, like other democrats, that Russia rigs US elections
• After Evo Morales was overthrown in a US-backed coup, she retracts her pro-Morales statements, and meets with a coup-supporting group in Washington. 1

• Believes that Trump “betrays” US values.
• Claims that socialist theory is only for priviledged few with college educated parents, and that working class people aren’t capable of understanding theory. Is unaware of the Spanish-speaking socialist tradition.
