Coronavirus Communism! By Charles Taylor
The pure scientific truth of most things, from climate change, to all of modern medicine, does not matter much in the public policy debates, because whatever way the truth goes, the capitalist super class will manipulate things to stay on top. The same applies to the coronavirus pandemic, so called.

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blasted the coronavirus response during her first virtual town hall Saturday, and ticked off a list of new priorities including universal basic income, student reimbursements and expanded health care. The Bronx progressive voted early Saturday morning for the new bipartisan House legislation to offer paid sick days, expanded food assistance, emergency paid family leave and free coronavirus tests because it signified progress. "It is a step forward, but it is completely insufficient," Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday during a video conference with her constituents on the pandemic response and the 2020 Census. Ocasio-Cortez called for working families to get cash infusions, like the universal basic income idea of Andrew Yang, the former White House hopeful. Since many low-income workers will be forced out of jobs because of the nationwide shutdown of the commercial sector, Ocasio-Cortez said the moment calls for bold action for an economic safety net. "We really need to make sure that we are advocating and pushing for immediate cash infusions," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We are asking for a complete halt to student loan payments, a halt on evictions nationwide. And we are also calling for mortgage relief." Now's the time for universal health care too, she said, calling "to open and extend Medicare and Medicaid to every single person in the country that needs it." Ocasio-Cortez said she sent a myriad of letters to Trump Administration officials to take immediate short-term action, such as extending the census count by three months, ordering health insurance plans to reopen their enrollment period and reimbursing low-income college students for the costs to pack up and leave shuttered campuses.”
The socialists never let a good crisis go to waste, and the coronavirus pandemic is useful for pushing various communist and paternalistic social parasitic policies, while the people shake with sheer fear, and frantically buy their toilet paper to calm their nerves. Hopefully, the worst of this will be resisted, or else economic collapse may serve as a cleansing force to wash away socialism for the near term. I imagine that there is a part of the human brain that is highly susceptive to the virus-like thoughts of communism, so it will be difficult to eradicate this from the human species, although living under subsistence, survival conditions would be a step in the right direction, no doubt. If there is any good to come from the coronavirus plague, it may be to break the backbone of the global economy, and strip the new class of their wealth and security, positions from which they push for the ideology of globalism and mass migration:

Only when the chatterers are silent, may this tyranny end.
