self-described 'Marxist' ascends to seat on Seattle City Council (minimum wage, millionaires, speech)

[wutitiz]

Conlin concedes, saying ‘I am proud of what we have done together’ | Politics Northwest | Seattle Times

The race is now over. Self-described Marxist Kshama Sawant wins victory over liberal Democrat Richard Conlin. Her priorities are nationalizing Boeing, tapping into the bank accounts of Seattle tech millionaires, and the $15/hr. minimum wage for Seattle.

Hang on Seattle, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Is that the best you can muster? I was hoping for some proof, but I guess that's just too much to ask

You know she just got elected to city council only, right?

She openly admits it, and he doesn't. That is how they compare.
