Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez uses the coronavirus-affected economy to bash capitalism.

Breitbart:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday used the negative economic reality caused by the Chinese coronavirus to take a shot at capitalism.
Nearly 17 million Americans have filed for unemployment over the last three weeks as the economy virtually shut down as a result of the coronavirus. The vast majority of Americans are under some form of a lockdown order, leaving many small businesses struggling to stay afloat and millions of Americans unable to go to work.
Several social media users were annoyed by Ocasio-Cortez’s conclusion.
“It’s not capitalism. It’s a virus,” one user said.
“Capitalism caused the pandemic?” another asked. “Coulda fooled me; I thought it was because the (communist) government of China lied to the entire world, forcing everyone to lock things down to prevent chaos. More
Government completely and forcefully shuts down the economy. And then it's well we got a big problem with capitalism here. SMH

You realize Twitter and Instagram are products of capitalism, right?

If you hate capitalism so much, get off Twitter, don’t use your phone, don’t drink your Starbucks, don’t use basically everything that capitalism has created.

Crazy how “unfettered capitalism”…with all the government mandated business closures and massive expansion of socialism, and big bank bailouts could tank an economy. ?

How are government mandated shutdowns considered capitalism, again?
