In a video published on Tuesday, avowed socialist Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant vowed to overthrow the United States and any country based on the “rotten” system of capitalism worldwide and replace it with a “socialist world.”
“We are coming for you and your rotten system,” Sawant said. “We are coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism — this police state. We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy and equality — a socialist world,” Sawant said.
Sawant made the video as a victory dance following the passage by the city council of the so-called Amazon Tax issued a threat to anyone, in particular Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who tries to stand in the way of “working people.”
“I have a message for Jeff Bezos and his class: If you attempt again to overturn the Amazon tax, working people will go all out in the thousands to defeat you. And we will not stop there.”

Poor woman. Capitalism is a good system. The problem is some that engage in capitalism try to get exorbitant return for their investment, profit. The problem, not being addressed will continue giving capitalism a bad name. Even though it’s a right to screw customers, customers should patronize merchants who deal in keeping with their liking and stop whining. Make it work for you or better yet start a competing business to show you can do better.
She is 100% RIGHT. GUERILLA WARFARE WILL BE THE VEHICLE TO WIPE THIS OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM FROM THE EARTH!!!
Kshama Sawant should be escorted out of the US! Send her back to India. We have no use for her kind.
