AOC is against socialism (towards megacorps).

(Edit: I might have not been clear - the joke is the the nonsense about redistributing taxpayer wealth to private corporations.)

I hadn't realized corporations are social creatures. Feels like the opposite to me

Hey man, corporations are people too (according to the law)

Have you ever seen how quickly they socialise/gather together/collude when there is even a whiff of talks to regulate them or tax them??
They put aside their differences, pool their resources, and act ferociously willing to fight to the bitter end.

Further proof: they have loving relationship with their pets (CEOs, lobbyists, politicians), they "cry" & get slapped on the wrists when they cause a social or environmental catastrophe, they all post ads of ppl smiling & telling you how their megacorp cares about people and loves them?

They are totally like people!

/s (just the last bit!)

Curious if you can post some stuff as to why that be the case, genuine question. Thanks for the information.

Sorry, it's a joke about 'corporations being people' and giving them monies being akin to a socialist (~benefiting society) act.

To clarify even further - it's not, the concepts don't make sense together (hence the humor or obvious sarcasm).

Thank you for the clarification! Was a bit unsure what the tone was or if she was/wasn't.

Afaik she is moderately (or hugely in context of USA in the last 70 years) against 'socialism for megacorps'.
