[ASND offers several historic & economic analyses of Karl Marx(ism) on  this page .]

[Sadly, most people alive today have no idea who the male in that montage is (actually, was).  Even more sadly, even when told who he was — Charles Manson — most people alive today have no idea what he did.  Very, very sad that leftist-dominated  government schools  don’t teach that.]

When asked how to pay for a left-leaning estimated $40 trillion price tag for her policies, [Ms. Ocasio Cortez] babbles nonsense.  It shows that she has as much real-world knowledge as former bus driver & current Venezuelan Pres Maduro.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could utter absolute gibberish, and the [mainstream left wing] media would swoon before her, and her supporters would declare her a genius.  How do we know? Because Ocasio-Cortez frequently utters gibberish, and the media and her supporters swoon before her.  Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t ‘misspeak.’  She doesn’t make gaffes.  She doesn’t ‘err,’ get tongue-tied, have brain farts, or get mixed up.  She is fundamentally a… woman who knows so little about so much that she doesn’t even try to hide it.
