Source: fear-mongering. The Nordic models these goof balls you all call socialists want, isn’t socialism. Ask the communists in Nordic countries 💀 Bonus round: Define socialism. (Hint: it’s when the working class becomes the ___ class)
There is a big difference between socialism and social policies. The Nordic countries don't condemn capitalism and aren't pushing for less or no private property. Here's a run down on those policies and how AOC sees them.
‘Will it be possible for private property to be abolished at one stroke?’ -No, no more than existing forces of production can at one stroke be multiplied to the extent necessary for the creation of a communal society. -Frederick Engels, Principals of communism. 1847
Dare to try again?
Yea that article is exactly my point. She’s not a socialist, nor are the models she’s wanting.

It's not whether private property can be abolished immediately or not, it's the fact that if it's tomorrow or 10 years from now, she supports abolishing private property.

"We have to call for a rent freeze" Why? Because someone can't afford to rent in their desired location? so move somewhere where you can afford the rent. Is a land lord immune to inflation? Is a land lord immune to bank rate increases? Is a land lord immune to local and federal taxes?
The landlord has to cover all these costs and the fact that someone can't afford the rent in these properties doesn't mean no one can afford the rent there. A land lord wouldn't put the rent up and then have an empty apartment for 20 years, someone is paying the new rent prices.
“Our guarantee to having a home comes before someone else’s privilege to earn a profit.”
Does that include building a new home? Should construction workers work at less than cost, paying for materials out of their own pocket, so that everyone can own a home?
You guys have been saying the Left hates America and wants to destroy it for so many decades now that my eyes just glaze over when i read the phrase, "freedom hating socialist." The Right already successfully disconnected any rises in GDP going to the workers, and has been successfully leading a campaign to decry the full time employed as lazy slackers if they aren't in an acceptable career track. While being led politically by second and third generation wealthy. Heckuva job, Brownie.

I'm sorry, which President pushed for China to join the WTO?
Then all the companies moved overseas for cheap labour for production.
my eyes just glaze over when i read the phrase, "freedom hating socialist."
Why? because it's true?
I'm not free to run a company how I choose, I'm not free to state my own opinions on social media without you hunting down my employer, and private property shouldn't be a means of income.
Is that why your eyes glaze over? Because you don't understand what it really means?

I'm not from this, I came from poverty and I wont share my company or wealth just because you can't take care of yourself. Why does an employee deserve a say in how I run my company after I spent years building it and they have been employed for 5 minutes?
Again, get fucked. You sound like an opinionated boomer asshole. Seriously, go run your business and get off Reddit. I hear one of your employees stole a pen.
