Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) contracted COVID while partying during her Florida vacation and enjoying the freedoms she denies to her own supporters. I have been waiting for her to comment on her ailment as she would undoubtedly say something stupid, and of course, she did not fail to disappoint.
The seemingly physically healthy 32-year-old who has been vaccinated three times miraculously survived omicron despite the 99.9% survival rate. The drama queen of politics posted three images of herself online pretending to recover at home. Her lingering symptoms seem to be a closer infatuation with communism with a nod to the coming push for N95 masks.
“As of today I am thankfully recovered and wrapping up quarantine, but COVID was no joke. For a while I've noted the term 'mild' is misleading when the bar is hospitalization and death. Even "mild" cases can result in long COVID, which includes a range of conditions like cognitive impairment, POTS, & chronic fatigue. This isn't to be a downer or induce fear, just a reminder that we need to be careful (N95s in crowded indoor spaces like stores) and if you do get it, it's key to care for yourself and REST,” the politician stated.
The former bartender went on to state that the “collective good is our best shot through our greatest challenges,” and urged the public to disregard “rugged individualism and the bootstrap propaganda we’ve been spoon-fed since birth.” She fully discredits the American dream of individual creativity and motivation that spurs innovation to advance society.
"If you've noticed, much of the emphasis of media conversations on COVID are individualistic: wear a mask, get vaccinated to protect *yourself,* go back to work even w/ symptoms bc *you're* "fine" (even if you're not)… Individualism is inadequate for planetary forces like climate change or global pandemics, no less societal ones like healthcare, economic inequity and racism. But WE, as a collective, can confront them. In a world of MEs, let's build team WE."
Team we? No thanks, comrade. AOC clearly has never opened a history book or seen the aftermath of life after socialism or communism. She would not be prancing around the Met Gala with the wealthy elite or drinking at drag bars in her idealized Marxist utopia. AOC’s unoriginal ideas come directly from Marx and Engels:
“Individuals always proceeded, and always proceed, from themselves. Their relations are the relations of their real life-process. How does it happen that their relations assume an independent existence over against them? and that the forces of their own life become superior to them? In short: division of labour, the level of which depends on the development of the productive power at any particular time.” (Karl Marx and F. Engels, German Ideology, 1846)
I thank “Not The Bee” for this funny tidbit. Communist leaders do appear to love their dogs:
