Socialism continues to rear its ugly head in this modern time. With self-proclaimed socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders now at the forefront of the Democratic Party, the left’s lurch toward progressivism doesn’t seem to be coming to a stop anytime soon. Ocasio-Cortez is becoming even more brazen with her push for socialism in recent days.

MRCTV’s Brittany Hughes documents Ocasio-Cortez’ recent comments at an MLK event:

“And so, no one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars,” she accused.

AOC went on to tell billionaires that she doesn’t want their money, but rather their “power.”

“To be ethical, if you’re a billionaire today, the thing that you need to do is give up control and power. So I don’t want your money as much as we want your power,” she said, before quickly correcting herself, “the people, not me.”

That slip-up at the end there is so telling. She wants to take every iota of power from every individual in America. That is what socialism truly is; the absolute control of wealth and power. It is up to us to make sure that Ocasio-Cortez never gets what she wants.
