As we told you on Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got into with Sean Spicer where she unleashed her own definition of capitalism on the world.
ICYMI, here it is again:
Not sure if you know this Sean, but transactions aren’t capitalism.
Capitalism is a system that prioritizes profit at any & all human/enviro cost.
But fwiw our shop is unionized, doesn’t operate for profit,& funds projects like free tutoring, food programs,& local organizing.🌱 https://t.co/RPnMlg0mpS

Good try, but, “that is not capitalism”:
"Capitalism is a system that prioritizes profit at any & all human/enviro cost."
That is not capitalism. https://t.co/QDpszOXTht

“What on earth is she talking about?
“Transactions aren’t capitalism” — what on earth is she taking about? Depends on the transaction I guess, but what socialists never seem to realize is that trade and markets are the state of nature and they’re fighting against that. https://t.co/mhvSR3kaFP

Maybe she tweeted this from her Tesla:
Hey 👋🏼 @aoc, finish your Starbucks, hop off of Twitter, set down your iPhone and use the Google search feature on your Tesla’s touch screen monitor to search for a better definition of capitalism.

just don’t Google it while your car is self driving and using GPS systems that ping satellites that wouldn’t exist without capitalism

Evergreen:
Redefining capitalism to own the capitalists. What a frigging idiot. https://t.co/zxSYmWj1Sn

And, don’t forget, she’s an economics major:
She was an econ major, right?
Her university should be ashamed at this level of ignorance. https://t.co/K2ZeaO44At

Does Boston University offer refunds?
You really should reach out to @BostonCollege and demand a refund for your economics degree. https://t.co/YC8Qlo8iRo

Yet so many Dems agree with her:
In spite of the fact that she allegedly has a degree in economics, her definition of capitalism is based on internet memes. https://t.co/cDOGIYgEVI

We’re doomed:
If you weren’t convinced our higher education system was broken, look no further than AOC’s bachelor in arts degree in economics. https://t.co/ZznHbG9nU8
