It is not surprising that President Donald Trump would criticize socialism during State of the Union Address. He said that capitalism provides us with freedom. Yeah—freedom for ultra rich men as he, to exploit the rest of us and deprive us of our freedom. Capitalism is a terrible system and no one makes a better spokesperson for it than him—the grubby political buffoon who resembles the system he so dearly loves. He and other capitalist love their system so well; they have sent troops out in the world killing people who oppose it. -SJ Otto

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to President Trump denouncing socialism in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. In an appearance on MSNBC shortly after, Ocasio-Cortez said Trump is "losing on the issues" and that is why he made an "ad hominem" attack on socialism. She said he attacked socialism and tied it to Venezuela as a way to "confuse the public."

"What did you make of the president's aggressive statement about Venezuela tonight, and he talked about being a socialist country and how we're never going to be a socialist country. It was pretty truculent but it tied the notion of socialism to that particular regime. What do you think about the president, why he did that?" MSNBC's Chris Matthews asked.
