the video quote-tweeted below is an argument against a private means of production (capitalism, overtly stated). we aren't talking about universal healthcare anymore. this is an openly marxist critique from arguably the most popular politician in the country.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1113911003165679616 …

What does that fix entail? A few thousand more words on the Lockean origins of property rights and their necessity to ensure freedom? Airdrop copies of "The Road to Serfdom" over Berkley? Who is effectively making the case for capitalism to anyone under 30?

it's not about making a case for capitalism. it's about dramatically reducing the cost of healthcare and housing, and deleting student loan debt. there are many policies congruent with freedom that would help here.

is climate change + rising anxieties about it on that list as well? or does it fall in a different category for you

nowhere near as important as economic anxieties, and no they aren’t linked
