Denver has officially gone communist. It’s hard to believe that a city that used to be truly conservative and freedom and family-centric has fallen so drastically over the last decade into legalizing drugs and now pushing communal land ownership. Their latest in-your-face move to promote communism is the election of Candi CdeBaca. She won a runoff race against former Denver city council president Albus Brooks and she did it by promising to implement communist policies “by any means necessary.” Sound familiar?
CdeBaca, 32, was among three candidates that unseated incumbents in the runoff. And the Democrats are already drawing comparisons to Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 29-year-old who unseated 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in New York’s 14th congressional district in 2018. God help Colorado. She’s a self-described “social worker, youth educator, policy expert and fifth-generation native of northeast Denver.”
“It’s historic,” said Carlos Valverde, state director for Colorado Working Families, a communist group that supported CdeBaca. “It is in the vein of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. … A victory that really demonstrates people power over money power.” CdeBaca will represent one of the busiest parts of Denver, a north-central district including Five Points, Lower Downtown, Globeville, Elyria, Swansea, Whittier, River North, Auraria, Cole, Clayton, City Park, and City Park West.
CdeBaca stomped Brooks with a win of 52.4 percent to 47.6 percent, though military and overseas ballots are still being counted. Those won’t be enough to stop the young Democratic Socialist. Denver, what were you thinking?
She participated in the “Denver Decides” candidate panel in April, where she explained her agenda to instate communal ownership of land, labor, and resources and do away with “extractive” capitalism.
From The American Mirror:
The upset victory, and two other incumbent defeats, marks the most significant shift in city leadership in over 30 years, and Valverde contends it “began a movement” toward more progressive policies once the new members are sworn in this week, The Denver Channel reports.
CdeBaca thanked her supporters on Facebook, where she claimed her secret to success was simply keeping it “real.”
“The Eastside taught me really early what ‘real’ really means. Don’t talk about it, BE about it. I knew in my heart if community who knew this principle still existed in the Eastside, they would see me and recognize real,” she wrote. “If they didn’t I was cool with it too because I wanted to serve those who understand this principle. They are here, they showed up, they recognized real.”
In April, Jonathan Woodley posted a video of CdeBaca during a “Denver Decides” candidate forum as she explained to voters exactly what she’s all about, and why she plans to implement communism at every opportunity.
“I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources,” CdeBaca alleged.
“And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new, and I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources,” she continued. “And whatever that morphs into is I think what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary.”
By Any Means Necessary also happens to be a radical “anti-fascist” group known for instigating violent confrontations with Trump supporters and patriots across the country, including the deadly melee at a Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.
The Cambridge Dictionary defines communism as “an economic system based on public ownership of property and control of the methods of production, and in which no person profits from the work of others.”
It’s a natural progression of socialism, which is becoming increasingly fashionable in American politics.
A Harris poll conducted for Axios on HBO published Sunday found 55 percent of American women between the ages of 18 and 54 would prefer to live in a socialist country like Venezuela than the U.S. More broadly, the four in 10 Americans said the same. [Emphasis mine.]
It’s not clear what CdeBaca meant when she said “by any means necessary,” but PBS notes that Malcolm X used the phrase and it meant “up to and including the use of violence.” That is the communist way, in fact, it’s preferred by radical leftists as it creates chaos, terror, and cements a message of violence and force to keep them in power.
Communism always ends in want, violence, and mass murder – again, Denver… what were you thinking?
