Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reached the United States House of Representatives running on a socialist campaign, and her message is dominating much of political discourse.

Justin takes on the socialist ideas, pointing out that socialism has never worked anywhere, ever. Nations that work are more capitalist that socialists say they are, and economic freedom is the only way for a nation to prosper.

What is Modern Monetary Theory, and how will it lead America into socialism? Listen to find out!
