Jonah Goldberg: Ocasio-Cortez Is Basically an Open Borders Socialist

RUSH EXCERPT:

GOLDBERG: "This has been a trend in the polls for a while now and some of it has to do with the — the Cold War is so far behind us in the rearview mirror that socialism has lost its connotation or association with the rivers of blood that were spilled in its name for most of the 20th century. That’s part of it. Part of it as Bernie Sanders had a really successful run sort of browsing the base of the Democratic Party talking about socialism. The problem is is the way burning with standards defined socialism and the way ocasio-cortez defined socialism is it’s basically I’m in favor of all nice things and I don’t think — economic shouldn’t be about trade-offs. It should be about cost. It should be about what Margaret thatcher said when she said the problem with socialism is eventually run out of other peoples money and the particular problem with her socialism here is that she is also basically an open borders socialist. Socialism or just a really aggressive welfare state, you can’t have a view that everybody is welcome here no matter what. Anybody who gets here has the rights and privileges and all this money and all these goodies and still have any chance of giving out anything like these goodies. Pointed out a long time ago that you need to have some borders even if you wanted to make socialism work."
