In Denver, self-described “Democrat Socialist” Candi CdeBaca pulled out the upset in defeating incumbent Albus Brooks in a recent runoff race for Denver City Council.
The Daily Caller reports that CdeBaca participated in a panel back in April where “she explained her agenda to instate communal ownership of land, labor and resources and do away with “extractive” capitalism.”
She “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.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.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.”
