AOC is a total moron and she is a secret commie who would support nationalizing all means of production .

[OSR stands with Israel]

Uh, many of them do. Again, she isn't wrong here and the reactions are completely off-kilter to what she said.

Saying they just sit on a couch shows how she has no idea in anyway how a business is run . She is a total moron in every way possible

[OSR stands with Israel]

She's largely right.

Lol , all I have to say to this is take some Business classes in college and you will find out if all you have to do to run a business or corporation is sit on a couch .

[OSR stands with Israel]

Lol , I have a question for all of you if all businessmen do is sit on a couch than how do they get the materials they need to create products. Yah that is right, the business has to choose how many materials they are gonna buy to make those products and also have to make sure they are buying enough materials needed to create the goods necessary to meet demand and at the same time make sure not to buy too many or else their holding costs will be too high.


Oh and now if the response to that is well many businesses dont even make their products anymore they just buy it from a supplier, well then the business has to decide what products do they want to buy, how many of that particular product they want to buy and if they have multiple locations , they may have to order a different amount per location. Again buying too little of one product would result in them not being able to meet consumer demand, and buying too much will results in holding costs that are too high.



Doing all of that is not sitting on a couch lol

Lol , I have a question for all of you if all businessmen do is sit on a couch than how do they get the materials they need to create products or if they just get the products from a supplier how is that business transaction dealt with.

Yah that is right, the business has to choose how many materials they are gonna buy to make the products or if they are buying the products from the supplier, the business has to decide what products do they want to buy, how many of that particular product they want to buy and if they have multiple locations , they may have to order a different amount per location.

People who she claims are sitting in couches are the ones doing this .

I mean, you're clearly strawmanning what she said. She was talking about billionaires in particular, not every random person who has a business.

Being a billionaire is the result of luck. For every billionaire on Earth, there are so many people who worked just as hard and had success but weren't lucky enough to be billionaires, and there are even more who worked just as hard and never really became successful. And unlike small business owners, billionaires made their billions off other people's work.

Even Billionaires running a company have to do what I said. Running a large corporation is a lot of work as well lol.  Walmart without having and maintaining  excellent supply chain management would be no where near the company it is today.

A rather misleading thread title in many respects. For starters, she explicitly talks about billionaires, not businessman. Her critique is of capitalism that creates such exorbitant gains for a tiny few individuals amassing a hugely disproportionate share of wealth. To title the thread as if she were supposedly commenting on business people, write down to small business owners like yours truly, is completely at odds with what she actually said.

You might also want to baby quote some of the things she said about explicitly stating she doesn't believe billionaires are inherently immoral?

Come on man, I expected better than this from you

no she didnt , and even if she did it would be laughably wrong in the context she uses and in the context she uses yes its an attack on buisnessmen.

A billionaire could let their money sit in a bank completely untouched for a whole year, and earn multiple million dollars (i.e. more than most will earn in a lifetime) just from the interest.  By sitting on a couch, as it were.

Now that’s to say nothing of how they earned that billion in the first place.  Yes, many of them started from scratch.

That's not the example she used, she used the old socialist example of a businessman had nothing to do with the creation of products a business sells.


She is a commie , as everything she has said implies she would support nationalizing the means of production

Re-read the article.

Btw, you sound ridiculous, not conservative, using the term commie.

Watch the video , the example she gave was an attack on businessman in general . No it doesn’t , every indication she has given shows that she would support nationalizing the means of production

She's right for the most part. Most of today's CEOs and corporate executives were born into wealth and privilege, benefiting off of somebody else's hard work (be it employees or past generations) and get their positions because they or their parents are well connected enough not to have to actually work for it.

That's just wrong.

Most of them were from middle-class backgrounds and did not have any prior relationship with the company before going to work there. Tim Cook is not the CEO of Apple because he is a descendant of the illustrious Apple family dynasty and his dad turned the company over to him when he retired.

"That's just wrong" followed by naming a single example, for a statement that did not discount exceptions. Thank you for inadvertently making the same point I did, as Apple is a mere fraction of 1% of the number of corporations that exist.

There should really be an "AOC opens her mouth, Republicans go nuts" megathread.

Actually there should be “AOC open her mouth and says stupid thing and Socialists and Democratic Hacks defy logic to defend her” megathread

-snip-

You always make it a point to defend the ruling class at every opportunity. Frankly, for you to put so much trust in the system makes you far more naive and stupid than AOC could ever be.

Oh I didn't realize I was "defending the ruling class" for calling a stupid statement what it is.

AOC could say "all billionaires are witches and deserve to be drowned", I'd say "that's wrong and drowning people is bad", and you'd be like "lol why is MacArthur defending the ruling class"

Like can you not see that she's a f***ing idiot, that her understanding of politics and the world is basically that of a high schooler who just discovered the internet, and she constantly embarrasses your "socialist revolution" by saying things that 90% of America thinks is moronic?  How many dumbf**k things does she need to say before you start pretending you always knew she was an idiot?

Everything AOC says is basically nonsense that someone such as Cenk, Ana, Kyle, Dore has spewed.
