She used the term "occupation of Palestine" which is a controversial way of looking at the origin and development of the situation. It's a perspective that is pretty matter of fact but is controversial nonetheless due to the implication of "occupation". I don't believe she realized this as she said it, and it's clear she took a moment to think on the best way to navigate her use of the term in the least inflammatory way possible. Hence the "I think".

The "progressives" today push power and privledge to minority groups through imposition of racist policies/sexist policies in order to get equality of outcome. AOC is not progressive relative to longer term human history in that the worse regimes and ideologies of the past and in the current have a common ideological collectivist identity based value system versus the modern day west which focuses on the individual. By that comparison AOC is actually is regressive. I don't think she should be allowed to get away with calling herself a progressive.

It's all well and good to wish for all sorts of wonderful things like free monthly income and free college education. We already have 50% of taxpayers not contributing to that pie - we'd need more, not fewer people paying taxes to pay for all the free stuff. Someone sit her down and explain how our economy works.

In America there should be no one below poverty level, and all Americans of all backgrounds, genders, ages, ethnicities, etc should have their basic needs met. America is a powerful nation, there should be no one homeless, hungry, uneducated, or in debt due to medical bills. Only caring about profits at any cost is sick. I don't think socialism for the USA is the answer, however there should be a limit on capitalism, but the rich powers that be don't want to change that, why would they spit in the wind for themselves. But it's obvious that the current system does not work. America needs to evolve. The old times are just ... old.

What she really wants is that benefit to be shared amongst stakeholders including workers. She’ll figure it one day. But it’ll likely be in decades and too late.

@Bobby Rubarb Thoughtful perspective. Perhaps crafted or advertised with the intent of helping the middle and lower income folks, I don’t know that it materialized that way. It’s been my observation (and these are just my thoughts) that the trade conflicts cost American jobs. The tax cut didn’t create new jobs, they only made the wealthy wealthier. And the real economy in this country (not just the Wall Street indices) is not well. As for the Dow and those indices that would say otherwise, we must remember that their status (while currently out of step with the economic realities of the American consumer) are cyclical and really only “truly” matter for those with investment portfolios...more than half of American have no holdings in those forms (by 401k or otherwise) because they are working multiple low paying jobs (none of which are full time enough to offer the benefit) just to pay the rent. Certainly they don’t have enough remaining after paying the bills to invest on their own. A sizable and growing portion of our nation is living hand to mouth with zero wiggle room. The pandemic has made this more evident than ever. What I mean by progressive capitalism is an appropriate re-leveling of the table that’s been tilted towards the rich for the better part of 40 years care of Reaganomics and trickle-down theory. Take a look at income inequality and buying power over that same period and the story is telling. The rich should love socialism and re-distribution of wealth...they’ve been the primary beneficiaries for the better part of a half a century of that economic model of “give to the rich and they’ll pass things down to everyone else.” It doesn’t turn out that they do. Leveling that a bit is what I mean by progressive capitalism. With more balanced taxation, Investments in new energy forms, investments in infrastructure, investments in science, education, training and real support for the American worker, and 21st century jobs for a workforce that can...dare I say it...truly make America great again. Nobody’s for the demolition of capitalism or advocating for Soviet-like socialism...even though folks are branding it that way for political motives (and exactly why Dems need to stop giving the GOP red meat by using the term!). Capitalism built this country. But like everything, it needs to be kept in check. There’s a lot of work to do in this country and there’s plenty to go around for everyone. But the system is out of whack...tilted way more towards owners than the do-ers and builders. It’s been Socialism for the rich, if you will, and the brutal operating end of capitalism for the rest of us. We need a more balanced brand of capitalism. A capitalism for progress, or “Progressive Capitalism.” Just my two-cents.

I see what you mean by way of your examples like Zuckerberg...I’d add Bezos and Musk to that list. Same thing...that needs the same checking I mentioned. My definition of “progressive” in this context really is one that’s more balanced and ethical than maximum profits at all costs. And only for the few. There’s a moral obligation here to contribute to the system that makes it possible for them and their companies. Not just shareholders, but stakeholders including employees and the nation writ large. If not, the golden goose of American capitalism and all the good it can do will continue to be gutted. BTW...thank you. This has been a civil and thoughtful exchange of thoughts and ideas.

But systemic issues where they pay no corporate taxes (and little to no personal tax) and freely exploit American infrastructure, military might and protections, and America’s workforce must be addressed. If it “gives” the middle class and lower income American worker anything, it’s a fair shot at success and upward mobility, a livable wage, and a sense of security that comes from knowing they will be able to meet their own basic needs (in a Maslow hierarchy sense). Right now, as I see it, it’s rigged for the wealthy...whether they be Republicans or elitist Democrats.

Cuz she doesn't really believe that, she enjoys the benefits capitalism has afforded her. She should be exported to a true socialist/communist nation.

She got on shaky ground with her "occupation of Palestine" comment, since there is no official state of Palestine, just Palestinian territories inside Israel. Her comments about economics were almost all incorrect. Wages continued to rise over time and economic prosperity, on the whole, was never greater across economic classes in America than it was at the time of this discussion. Most working class people were not working 2 or more jobs or 60-80 hour weeks. These are all myths used effectively by many federal Democratic politicians during political campaigns. Our mostly private economy continues to raise people out of poverty better than any other economic system despite the advent of several major industrial complexes having been taken over by government-corporate hybrids (corporatism) including defense, energy, agriculture, transportation, health care, and education. Other forms of cronyism plague several other major markets within our economy as well. One can see that much of our economy is not governed by capitalism if one accounts for all the parts that are controlled by corporatism, cronyism and directly by government.
