Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Say Under Capitalism, Man Oppresses Man. Under Socialism, Its Just the Opposite?
Misattributed
The political oppositions fixation with incoming Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York continued in December 2018 with the online sharing of a graphic that attempted to link her to a quote whose origins have been disputed.
The graphic, first posted a month earlier, showed a black-and-white picture of the congresswoman-elect alongside the phrase Under capitalism, man oppresses man. Under socialism, its just the opposite.
The meme was subsequently spread by a Facebook page listed for musician Ted Nugent, with the addition of the caption Do not shut this woman up. This shit is gold:
We consulted Ocasio-Cortez seeking comment but have yet to hear back. However, not only did we find no record of her having made such a statement, the phrase itself is a misstated version of a much older phrase with unclear origins.

As we have previously chronicled, Ocasio-Cortez has been particularly targeted by mockery and false claims about her.

What's a matter, Ted? Bitter that you're irrelevant and heading towards the end of life as a punchline?
