Libertarians certainly are not hesitating to criticize the Democrat Party's new congressional nominee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for being a "democratic socialist." The same goes for her political mentor U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long labeled himself a socialist.
Indeed, libertarians have recently been pointing out and criticizing the destructive consequences of socialism in countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua, not to mention Cuba and North Korea.
