Is Obama a Marxist?

[Symmetry]

It has recently been revealed that Karl Marx had a secret meeting with Obama.

'You gotta be marxin' kiddin' me!'

The evidence is right there in the picture:

Obama is not a Marxist. He does subscribe to the anti-colonialist ideology from his father. Personally, I think he's a socialist. He (and the Democrats) are willing to work within the framework of radically changing America through the ballot box.

That's a well-intended expectation.

But why show a picture of Hitler, when Obama will admit it, in his own words......

But do Socialism and Marxism have a lot in common?

Do Phatscotty and a chimpanzee have a lot in common?

Of course they do. I was talking more about the method of bringing about the "change".

Being right too early always has been and probably always will be politically and socially unpopular. Nobody wants to hear the bad news while it can be ignored, hear about how the banks are about to fail if we don't do something, or hear about how real estate or tech stocks are in an unsustainable bubble, hear about how we are going to get our credit rating downgraded if we continue to spend more than we have and live beyond our means, or hear about how Ron Paul was right, or even about how Obama, in retrospect, was indeed a 21st century Socialist.

The word "Hitler" isn't verbalized in this clip unless it's been beamed in on a high frequency outside the range of human hearing or placed on a subliminal track.

Nah, this is just about the radicals Andy mentioned. yeah yeah punk rock poet performers....and marxist professors too

Being marx too early always has been and probably always will be marxically unpopular. Nobody wants to marx the bad news while it can be marxed, marx about how the banks are about to marx if we don't marx something, or marx about how real estate or tech stocks are in an unsustainable marx, marx about how we are going to get our credit rating marxed if we continue marxing more than we have and marxing beyond our means, or marx about how Ron Paul was Marx, or even about how Obama, in retrospect, was indeed a 21st century Marxist.

Phatscotty, you should create a new topic called "Phatscotty's Foresight."

Aren't there already three different threads about Infant Circumcision?

Ka-ching. I thought the same thing. But those are generic topics, and obviously without PS branding.

At this point, I don't think we can trust Obama's word for anything...

[thegreekdog]

What were the five socialist things that President Obama did again?

[BigBallinStalin]

1. Marxed the banks!
2. Marxed the insurance companies!
3. Marxed the taxpayers!
4. Marxed the young!
5. Marxed our country!

Therefore, Obama is a Marxist.


I'm willing to concede that Obama may be a Marxalot.

Obama gave a dog to his daughters.
He doesn't like kittens.
People who don't like kittens should be nailed to a cross and burned alive.

[Phatscotty]

I ain't goin nowhere!

[thegreekdog]

(1) Obama was raised a socialist --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I was raised to hate peas. Does that mean I hate peas now?
(2) Obama's mother was a socialist --> not during his presidency. Related aside - My mother hates peas. Does that mean I also hate peas?
(3) Obama attended socialist conferences and read communist books --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I also have read communist books. I've not attended socialist conferences, but I once attended a meeting of the law school Democrats. Does that mean I am also a socialist?
(4) Obama believes in spreading the wealth around --> not during his presidency (I asked for five things, no one has provided them).
(5) Obama was a community organizer --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I organized a bake sale. Does that make me a socialist?
(6) Obama briefriend hardcore radical communists --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I have friends who are socialists (hi Saxi!). Does that make me a socialist?
(7) Obama attended church with Jeremiah Wright --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I'm Catholic. Does that make me a pedophile?
(8) The group that has visited the White House is the SEIU --> during his presidency. Related aside - I thought the SEIU was a union; I guess it's just a terrorist group.
(9) Obama taught a law school class on Noam Chomskey --> not during his presidency. Related aside - I took a law school class on criminal law. Does that mean I practice criminal law?
(10) Obama endorsed Bernie Sanders --> I have no idea.
(11) The Communist Party endorsed Obama --> during his presidency. Related aside - Who endorsed Mitt Romney?
(12) Individual salvation depends on collective salvation --> not during his presidency. Related aside - Many Christians believe this. Does that make them socialist?
(13) Obama appointed "socialist" czars --> during his presidency. Given the rest of this video, I'm not taking this guy's word that these folks are socialist.
(14) Someone called him the Manchurian president --> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(15) Obama believes every person has a right to healthcare --> not during his presidency. The Affordable Care Act does not provide a right to healthcare.
(16) Labor unions can organize without secret ballots --> not during his presidency. How is that socialist?
(17) Obama believes there is an inherent right to housing --> not during his presidency. Nothing the president has done gives anyone a right to housing.
(18) Obama promote an open borders agenda --> during his presidency. How is this socialist?
(19) Obama has "dramatically" reduced the size and power of the military --> during his presidency. How is this socialist? Hell, how do you not agree with this?
(20) Obama has promoted a "steeply graduated" income tax --> during his presidency. He hasn't signed a law raising tax rates substantially has he?

In sum, this guy is an idiot.

[Woodruff]

This is really news to me. How exactly has Obama accomplished this (not questioning thegreekdog, but rather the individual who posted the video). I'm trying to pretend he'll actually answer.
