What domestic violence was involved during the passage of the new deal ? I will also reassert many capitalist countries offer better programs for their people for example Germany, Canada, France, Scandanavian nations. No violence needed just enlightened voting. Plus no one is advocating for the State to take control of the means of production. But you already know that. I know you know that so why continue to demonize poor Ocasio ?

Yes exactly . Socialism has a bad track record . It’s not like this is some new idea she came up with .
It’s ironic that those talking about equality would be fine with taking over private businesses or property .
How is that fair or just?

Someone worked hard to build a business and then it just gets seized ? This is what productive Immigrants escaped from !

We need more financial literacy , more entrepreneurs in low income neighborhoods. Not socialism .

How do you control the means of production without taking over private businesses . Think about it .

Maybe an apology is in order?
I never called you stupid, but read this again...

As part of the war mobilization, entire communities sprang up around factories manufacturing military goods. In 1940, Congress therefore authorized the US Housing Authority to build twenty public housing developments around these private companies to sustain the war effort. There was considerable debate over whether these should be permanent dwellings, furthering reformer goals of establishing a broader public housing effort, or temporary dwellings in keeping with the timeliness of the need. The Defense Housing Division was founded in 1941 and would ultimately construct eight developments of temporary housing, though many ended up as long-term housing after the war.
I'm not sure how an article about temporary war housing proves your point but if you think it does then enjoy the moment

She won because she got more votes than the other guy.

Sometimes people get tired of the same old same.

Yeah sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don’t .

Just voting for someone new with old failed ideas ( socialism ) doesn’t seem too smart .
