But Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca suspects that isn\u2019t the case for Caucasians. A dastardly disparity is afoot; fortunately, she\u2019s found a fix.<\/p>\n<h3>Capitalism vs. Socialism<\/h3>\n<p>At a recent forum, Candi made a sizable assertion about capitalism. While capitalism concerns many small businesses, socialism involves the ultimate big business: government. Under socialism, politicians take charge of all products and means of production. Despite the above, Candi claims capitalism is \u201cbuilt.\u201d Additionally, liberty is a thief: \u201cCapitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Reparations for Non-White Business Owners<\/h3>\n<p>Candi believes that the ability to launch one\u2019s own enterprise has resulted in racist harm. Therefore, we must \u201cundo the cumulative impact of generations of that stolen wealth in all of those categories.\u201d She proposes reparations in the form of land, labor, and resources in an ongoing fashion. Within Denver\u2019s economically-depressed Five Points neighborhood sits a \u201cbusiness improvement district.\u201d Candi sees an opportunity to balance justice\u2019s scales. Though she labels taxation as theft, she\u2019s pushing for more taxation. To elevate nonwhites, a lowering of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/colorado-city-council-member-wants-special-tax-for-white-owned-businesses-as-a-form-of-reparations\/\" title=\"CO City Council Member Proposes Tax for White-Owned Businesses as Reparations.\">melanin-deficient industrialists hits<\/a> the spot. And anti-capitalist Candi is pro-capitalism when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-is-shocked-to-learn-gun-owners-arent-just-old-white-men\/\" title=\"CNN Is Shocked To Learn Gun Owners Aren\u2019t Just Old, White Men\">owners aren\u2019<\/a>t Aryan.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of the BID collecting extra taxation from the black and brown businesses that are struggling, you could be collecting those extra taxes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/denver-city-council-member-tax-white-owned-businesses-and-give-it-to-black-brown-owned-businesses\/\" title=\"Tax white-owned businesses and redistribute funds to black and brown-owned businesses, suggests Denver City Council member.\">white-led businesses<\/a> all over the city and redistributing them to black- and brown-owned businesses who are not part of the BID, or who are simply just black- or brown-owned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Candi wants nonwhites granted a living wage \u2014 and not just some merely-making-it amount. \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-city-to-dole-out-12000-free-phones-to-homeless-trans-non-binary-people\/\" title=\"Major City To Dole Out ,000, Free Phones To Homeless Trans, \u2018Non-Binary\u2019 People\">basic income project<\/a> could be\u2026an important way that we turn a check to an individual in an ongoing fashion. \u2026 we need to go far beyond welfare wages and go to prosperous wages because we don\u2019t want to just survive anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s all about personal ownership \u2014 somehow, via government ownership: \u201cI think when we talk about resources being returned, this is where consumer-owned or municipally-own resources are important \u2014 because we are locked out of owning or control over our basic needs like water or utilities or any of those things. There is a way for us to change that structure and put black and brown people in ownership positions over our basic needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Candi\u2019s long been keen on socialism and communism. When she ran for City Council in 2019, she explained as follows: \u201cI think\u2026we\u2019re in late-phase capitalism and we know it doesn\u2019t work. \u2026\u00a0 [W]e 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\u2026what will serve community the best. And I\u2019m excited to usher it in by any means necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy any means necessary\u201d is quite the commitment. Evidently, one of those means is being a racial Robin Hood.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about Candi\u2019s proposal?
