New congressman Jamaal Bowman, representing New York’s 16th congressional district, is a new Squad member. The Squad includes the four communists in Congress trying to bring down capitalism and our form of government — Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
During a recent interview, Bowman compared capitalism in America to slavery — as irrational as that is.

Capitalism is the system that has brought financial security to the largest number of people in the history of the world. Yet, this congressman calls it slavery.
SLAVERY
I believe our current system of capitalism is slavery by another name,” said Bowman, a new member of the progressive “Squad.”
He told The Root that “[w]e’ve moved from physical chattel enslavement and physical racial segregation to a plantation economic system. One that keeps the majority of Americans unemployed, or underemployed and struggling just to survive, while the power elite continues to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few, and allow large corporations to pretty much run the world as multinational corporations.”
“The pandemic has revealed it. With almost 300,000 dead from the pandemic, disproportionately Black and brown, and Jeff Bezos is the first $200 billionaire. In the next six years, he might become the first trillionaire. That’s slavery by another name. It’s a system that’s not working, so we need a new system.”
He’s not the brightest. Bezos is getting richer and richer because Bowman’s party is shutting down businesses, leaving Bezos the main game in town.
He supports the ridiculous Green New Deal and defunding the police. Bowman sees Obama as too far right.
OBAMA IS TOO FAR RIGHT
Bowman reaffirmed his criticisms of former President Barack Obama to the Root. Obama warned against sloganeering on issues like police reform by using phrases like “Defund the police.”
He said he doesn’t think Obama “is the standard we should be striving towards.” He thinks “the Squad is more of a standard we should be striving towards because…the Squad is more responsive to what’s happening today in our streets,” Bowman told the outlet.
Bowman added, “Obama represents a certain demographic of the Democratic Party, but the Democratic Party is a big and diverse tent.” He says “the Squad and myself represent more of what’s happening right now in the party, on the ground, in the streets — particularly with parts of the community that we haven’t always engaged very well.”
The Democrat Party is the communist party, and there seems to be no left that is too far-left for them.
Another nutjob who has gained from the ‘system’. Then once he attains his position, decries the system as unjust. How did he get to where he is, if the system is so unjust, unfair and slavery-like?
That’s the point. The economic ‘system’, which obviously enriched him and his fellow travellers, is the best one for the people who have an ambition to get ahead.
I’m not sure what his point is. If it were to call out the capitalism we have today as slavery, then he has failed just by the fact he is allowed to speak his mind and have the life that he enjoys to this day.
The left is full of nutjobs like Jamal Bowman. If he wants to prove his point, he should move to a country where he can enjoy the fruits of wahtever system he thinks is fair and just. Like Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
Big mouth Jamal has, but not guts to back up his BS by moving away from a system he deplores. Apparently.
He’s a millionaire
Slavery is the state preventing all of those not aligned and loyal to an oppressive party from succeeding, making all of them equal. This is his vision. He is evil.
The best argument would be :
When “slavery” is a metaphorical description of economical injustice in capitalist America，it is literally a real thing that happens on a daily basis in socialist China
Jamaal Bowman is a fool! Slavery comes more from government dependency than from a free market capitalist society.
Communism is slavery. Communism is where all but the ruling elite are made to do as they are told to do.
Capitalism is where a person can do as he pleases within the laws and can reap the rewards of hard work and striving for self improvement. This has been proved repeatedly in the American way of life ever this nation was founded.
It is capitalism and the investments of business owners that create jobs.
Screw Jamaal Bowman and the rest of the communist infil-traitors that have infested our government.
The billionaires this fool is talking about are the powers behind the fraudulent election of Dem sock puppet Joe Biden.
