    She has a lot of irregularities. And she's pretty profligate for someone peaching on "oppression."

    In fact, Omar's campaign paid husband nearly $900K over last two years

    Wanting to fix policies doesn't make someone a Marxist. Most of us can see some things we would love to change. Change should happen through thorough and serious discussion of difficult issues. When one side uses the techniques of assuming moral authority to silence and crush the opposition, that is Marxism. The Progressives may have some good points, it is arguable, but their current uncompromising stance and their support for destruction if they don't get everything their way is inherently dangerous...and Marxist.

    Let me guess, she recommends replacing with Sharia Law?

    I bet if the interviewer asked her next if she believes in Sharia Law, she would say yes. She is a complete wacko.

    There is an inherent conflict between Marxism and any religion, including Sharia. This trend in Cultural Marxism is being compared to a "new religion" in itself. Omar claims to be a devout Muslim, but her actions would have had her stoned to death in a fundamentalist Islamic country. She is an "Americanized Somali Muslim" and Cultural Marxist. Her current success, popularity and wealth is more attached to the latter.

    There are similarities, however, between Sharia and Marxism: Compliance by force.

    Correct.
    Marxists might use this technique, but it isn't Marxist per se. If they don't advocate collectivizing production, they aren't Marxists.
    You're talking about a very, very small portion of those wanting change, and even a very small number of those who have been protesting.

    "Compliance by force" is true of our criminal code as well.

    I am not sure I agree 100% with her statements, but if you are going to dismiss her out of hand, then you need to address some data.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/04/economic-divide-black-households/

    This article talks about it at a high level, but there is a huge wealth gap. So if the economic system isn't to blame, who is? And be careful here, because if you are going to somehow claim the system has no faults, then you are going to be finding faults with a large percentage, if not the vast vast majority, of a race. And I can already tell you that the system works not just against black people, but some white people as well. Race may not be it's only issue. Try getting any sort of financial help if you are poor. Outside of the government, which offers very little help to improve one's station in life save a handful of educational opportunities, you are SOL. Banks do not loan to poor people. Poor people already lack the resources to improve their wealth situation. Race appears to be play a role, so these are things to consider.

    Also, this article only discusses the disparity between white and black Americans, obviously there are other races in America.

    Today's Progressive Democrats' use of force, is not to be under any current rule of law. The National Socialist Workers Party in Germany (the Nazi's) were left-wing Democrat Socialists. Are we going to repeat history with new racist supremacy "reforms", because we learned nothing the first round?

    omar is a welfare queen, she got free college, free government jobs, and free affirmative action in the welfare industrial complex.

    she and her people are not oppressed for being muslim, female, and black.

    The Cultural Revolution being pushed by the Marxists, Anarcho-Marxists and Nihilists attacking police. tearing down statues, destroying businesses, etc. is focused on power. So are their "Democratic" enablers.

    As for whether or not "Democrats" are pushing socialism, many of them are - clearly, the jihadist apologist from Minnesota is one of them. So is the self-avowed socialist who finished a strong second in the "Democratic" presidential primaries, and so is his fellow traveler from New York who campaigned for him and has been anointed a rising star (ironies abound) in the DP by "progressives" in the MSM. It's no secret that the party is moving further and further to the Left and will continue to do so.

    The "progressives" in this country have been openly reimagining the United States of America for quite some time now...



    ...all they've done lately is take their Nihilism up a notch.

    This is what the framers wanted to prevent in the 1790 Naturalization Act. The myth that this country was created for pieces of human waste like this is a lie perpetrated to destroy this country and the tenets it was founded upon.

    The widening wealth gap will need to be addressed, especially as we leave the Information Age and enter the Artificial Intelligence Age with robotics. I am aware that trying to get government aid is very difficult...for every American. It is not race based, but income and asset based. There in no systemic bias in welfare programs. That has been the case for decades.

    You are talking well-known generalities.

    The point of this thread is that when a junior freshman Representative, who was not born in America and has been a citizen less than 20 years, starts talking about dismantling America's social and economic systems, many Americans will be alarmed by the rhetoric.

    Asylum seekers definitely go to the head of the line, get placed before impoverished Americans and get more "free stuff".

    Well known generalities that have not been addressed by US citizens that have been born here and have families here for many generations.

    Why are you alarmed by her? Outsiders are often valuable in accurately and objectively criticizing something better than those of us who are used to it and have lived with it for our entire lives.

    I suspect her political party, race, and religion also contribute to may being skeptical of her. And her age. None of that makes her wrong or right, however. If she can fix problems you and I can't, why would we be alarmed by that?

    And the Socialists have influenced the Biden campaign in exchange for support. Who will be running the country if Alzheimer's Joe wins the election? Bernie Sanders and The Squad.

    Sanders yesterday:

    Joint Task Force Policies "Will Make Biden The Most Progressive President Since FDR"

    You can, you just risk legal punishment as a result.

    However, altering an economic system by being a voting member of Congress is not a crime, so it's perfectly acceptable to change the system that way.

    I think you just said as much about yourself as you did about the framers...



    Whoops. Your racism is showing!

    I agree with that. BLM claims to want to destroy our American system and replace it with something never defined. I think they will fail. But it scares a lot of people.

    Because we know how 2nd and 3rd world countries turned out. Why aren't millions of young American citizens rushing to move to those countries to "reimagine" them and change their countries with criticism and a political coup?

    When Liberal professors and Bernie Sanders supporters are alarmed about the Cultural Marxist Movement in America, every American citizen should be concerned.

    The Peace Corps has existed for quite a while and while it's not solely made up of Americans, many are and they do exist to "make things better." Activists from the US have operated in many of your so called "2nd and 3rd world" countries. I bet we have had more people in the form of the peace corps, religious missions, and political activism both sanctioned and not by our government than we have had immigrants come to the US and successfully run for Congress to alter our economic system.

    What is your definition of a political coup? Getting elected by the Constitutional process and exercising your duties as a rep to Congress? Or is it doing all that but having an agenda you disagree with? This is the United States, we were founded as a plural society, not a "do it this way and this way only or get the hell out" society.

    You're first statement is obviously rhetorical, so let's just let that sit. lol

    A political coup would be a wave of Cultural Marxists altering our 244 year old country from a Constitutional Republic, based on capitalism to a Communist/Marxist regime based on redistribution of wealth. The Justice Progressives aims are exactly to "Do it this way or be silenced, crushed or killed." Reference: World History

    Hey I just read something about that last night! It’s incredibly sexist language that paints immigrant women’s body dangerous because they are seen as sexually promiscuous and yet docile and in need of protections by strong male figures.
