密歇根州美国参议院民主党提名人阿卜杜勒·赛义德(Abdul El-Sayed)最近接受了“资本主义”的标签,并反对被称为社会主义者,但社交媒体上的帖子与这种说法相矛盾。
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, recently embraced the "capitalist" label and pushed back against being called socialist, but unearthed social media posts contradict that narrative.
最近发现的社交媒体帖子显示,底特律美国民主社会主义者(DSA)分会支持他对气候倡导的看法,甚至称他为其努力的“同志”。
Recently unearthed social media posts show the Detroit Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter applauding his views on climate advocacy, going so far as to call him a "comrade" in its efforts.
“欢迎来到团队同志,”该组织的底特律分会在2019年的一篇文章中写道,旁边是埃尔-赛义德的照片,当时他是密歇根州州长的最近候选人。
"Welcome to the team comrade," the group’s Detroit chapter wrote in a post in 2019 alongside a picture of El-Sayed, then a recent candidate for Michigan governor.
在埃尔-赛义德支持参议员伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)后不久,在他竞选总统时,该账户再次赞扬了他的支持。
Shortly after El-Sayed endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in his presidential bid, the account again praised his support.
密歇根州参议院候选人由AOC和伯尼·桑德斯支持他不是社会主义者“感谢我们的朋友兼盟友阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德支持伯尼·桑德斯。我们的运动是不可阻挡的,”该组织写道。
MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ENDORSED BY AOC AND BERNIE SANDERS INSISTS HE'S NOT A SOCIALIST "Thank you to our friend and ally Abdul El-Sayed for endorsing Bernie Sanders. Our movement is unstoppable," the group wrote.
尽管DSA尚未在参议院竞选中正式支持埃尔-赛义德,也没有确认他的政纲,但DSA当地对他的支持可能会引发他的政纲与DSA官方立场之间重叠加剧的问题。
Although the DSA has not officially endorsed El-Sayed in his Senate bid or affirmed his platform, the DSA’s local support for him may raise questions of increased overlap between his platform and the DSA's official stances.
埃尔-赛义德在接受《纽约时报》采访时描述了他对资本主义的看法。
In an interview with The New York Times, El-Sayed described his views on capitalism.
“资本主义是利用供求规律有效地分配资本支出以实现价值最大化。当资本主义发挥作用时,那是因为你可以自由进入和退出市场,”埃尔-赛义德说。
"Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets," El-Sayed said.
“因此,如果你相信资本主义,你就必须相信政府监管来保护市场。事实上,现在我们的情况恰恰相反。你不必是社会主义者也会相信你应该对亿万富翁的财富征税,”他继续说道。“事实上,如果你是资本家,你就应该相信这一点。所以,我是一个只知道资本主义的资本家。我有看书的坏习惯,对不起。“在其他立场中,El-Sayed支持全民医疗保险等政策,增加对该国最高收入者的税收,并对他认为滥用供水和空气质量等自然资源的企业实施更严厉的惩罚。
"So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth," he continued. "In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m a capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading; I’m so sorry." Among other stances, El-Sayed has championed policies like Medicare for All, increasing taxes on the country’s top earners and implementing more stringent penalties on businesses that, in his view, abuse natural resources like water supply and air quality.
在2018年的州长竞选中,埃尔-赛义德支持许多相同的观点,获得了DSA的支持-特别是他的气候平台。
In his 2018 campaign for governor, El-Sayed espoused many of the same views, garnering support from the DSA — especially for his platform on climate.
在通用汽车宣布将在全国各地裁员约14,000人后,埃尔赛义德一度加入了夺取通用汽车工厂的呼吁。
At one point, El-Sayed joined in calls to seize plants owned by General Motors after the company announced it would cut about 14,000 jobs from sites across the country.
绿色新道奇:埃尔赛义德运行的政策,因为新出现的删除职位显示多年的支持“今天,阿卜杜勒埃尔赛义德签署了我们的大胆要求,抓住废弃的[通用汽车]工厂,并将其转化为绿色,公共使用。这是我们需要我们的领导人的勇气和远见,使绿色新政成为现实。谢谢你,埃尔-赛义德博士!前进!”该小组写道。
GREEN NEW DODGE: EL-SAYED RUNS FROM POLICY AS NEWLY SURFACED DELETED POSTS SHOW YEARS OF SUPPORT "Today, Abdul El-Sayed signed onto our bold demand to seize abandoned [General Motors] plants and convert them into green, public use. This is the courage and vision we need from our leaders to make the Green New Deal a reality. Thank you, Dr. El-Sayed! Onward!" The group wrote.
埃尔-赛义德是该计划的140名共同签署者之一,其中包括密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)等人物。和娜塔莎·费尔南迪-西尔伯,底特律DSA的联合主席。
El-Sayed was among 140 co-signers for the plan, including figures like Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Natasha Fernández-Silber, the co-chair of the Detroit DSA.
“这些设施不仅仅是一家公司的”财产“。他们属于贡献劳动的工人,也属于为通用汽车提供巨大税收减免、公共补贴和救助的纳税人。
"These facilities are not just the ‘property’ of a corporation. They belong to the workers who have contributed their labor, and the taxpayers who have provided enormous tax breaks, public subsidies and bailouts to GM," the resolution read.
2017年至2020年间,这位密歇根州民主党人在美国民主社会主义分会举办的六场活动中发表了讲话,其中包括2019年的筹款活动,他担任主旨演讲人。此外,DSA官员7月份告诉Politico,他们正在调动资源帮助埃尔·赛义德赢得民主党初选。
Between 2017 and 2020, the Michigan Democrat spoke at six events held by Democratic Socialists of America chapters, including a 2019 fundraiser where he served as the keynote speaker. Additionally, DSA officials told Politico in July that they were mobilizing resources to help El-Sayed win his Democratic primary election.
“从技术上或实际上来说,我都不是DSA,”埃尔-赛义德七月份告诉《华尔街日报》。
"I'm not technically or practically DSA," El-Sayed told the Wall Street Journal in July.
然而,社会党组织者称他为“底特律DSA的老朋友。”“今年我们的年度筹款活动将会非常火爆。由唯一的拉什达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)主持,客座演讲者阿卜杜勒·埃尔·赛义德(Abdul El-Sayed),”另一篇帖子写道。
Socialist organizers, however, have called him "a longtime friend of Detroit DSA." "Our annual fundraiser is going to be [fire] this year. Chaired by the one and only Rashida Tlaib, with guest speaker Abdul El-Sayed," another post reads.
“我们一年一度的道格拉斯-德布斯晚宴就在这个星期六!唯一的拉什达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)将与特邀演讲人阿卜杜勒·赛义德(Abdul El-Sayed)一起发表主旨演讲。不要错过。今天就买票吧!”另一位说道。
"Our annual Douglas-Debs Dinner is THIS SATURDAY! The one and only Rashida Tlaib will give the keynote, with special guest speaker Abdul El-Sayed. Don’t miss out. Get your tickets today!" another stated.
就DSA本身而言,DSA的国家平台远远超出了埃尔-赛义德在参议院竞选中提出的提案的一部分。
For its own part, the national platform for the DSA goes well beyond the proposals that El-Sayed has made a part of his Senate bid.
乔纳森·特利:阿卜杜勒·赛义德的财富税收幻想可能会毁掉密歇根州的经济该组织的其他立场包括废除美国参议院、建立该国最大公司的公有制以及取消对国防部的资助--埃尔-赛义德尚未表示支持的立场。
JONATHAN TURLEY: ABDUL EL-SAYED’S WEALTH-TAX FANTASY COULD WRECK THE MICHIGAN ECONOMY Among other positions, the group has championed abolishing the U.S. Senate, establishing public ownership of the country’s largest corporations and defunding the Department of Defense — stances that El-Sayed has not voiced support for.
埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队没有立即回应有关埃尔-赛义德是否认为底特律DSA过去的支持削弱了他对资本主义看法的说法的置评请求。
El-Sayed’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether El-Sayed believes the past support from the Detroit DSA undermines his claims about what he believes about capitalism.
在通过民主党初选后,埃尔-赛义德将于11月3日对阵共和党参议院提名人迈克·罗杰斯。
Having cleared the Democratic primary, El-Sayed will face off against Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers on Nov. 3.
