Obama and Socialism

A many weeks ago a Friend we will call Mike said, and asked me if I knew what real socialism was all about, Ie concerning my remarks that Obama was a died hard socialist. But I took from that, that maybe, just maybe he really didn’t know what one was himself. Liberal Academics are fun these days in the twisting of facts and the multilation of realities. So lets have some fun in comparing the current Obama Campaign to what we know about Socialism.

If we are to understand what Obama and the “Socialist” Democrat party want, we have to refer to the dictionary to get a definition. That is, if the socialist havn’t redefine for us: “Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.”

We can then say that some of the very changes that Obama uses as a campaign slogan are socialistic? Karl Marx wrote; “From Each According To His Ability - To Each According To His Need” seems to becoming the modern version of what has turned into a new Obama motto of : “Change” or for that matter what is consider “Fair” to the American people. Obama said that he just wanted to spread the wealth around. The exact meaning certainly seems to be obvious and that was to take from one group and give it to another. Joe the Plumber correctly phase this as Socialism, the very system that fail.

The question is: “Why should so many rich people have so much more money than soo many poor?” That certainly isn’t “Fair” is it? I mean really! His VP Candidate Joe Biden said that it was unpatriotic not rich to pay taxes. I sure that Thomas Jefferson would agree, Duh NO!
Are any number of social issues that hamper success in this country, pushing back one group over another? Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. This obsolete system express by Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution which represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.

Obama seems to share the belief with modern day socialist that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and creates an unequal society. In other words this is Obama’s very campaign slogan which he uses the word “Change” as a stepping stone to the very same Socialism. Obama advocates it seems, the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly though taxation In Obama’s platform. Another dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split on how a socialist economy should be established between the reformists and the revolutionaries. We have not heard from the democrats or Obama yet, but the very Nationalization of some of the Banks could be a step in that direction. Some socialists advocate complete nationalization of the very means of production, distribution, and exchange; while others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy.


The current Market economy literally stands in the way of so-call progressive trends that Obama and other Progreives like to establish in the country. They feel that we didn’t give socialism a chance to survived? Why should we since the Socialist system has to be built on a market economy, before it wipes it out. I once asked a couple of my students if they believe that Obama was spreading Socialism and their answer was that in a way they believe he was, They saw nothing wrong with government control of a few of our industries?


Sadly, it is still express by the some who believe that "change" is something our system truly needs. But is socialism the change we ned? Obama’s fascination with this concept means we are about to experience it for ourselves if elected. My Students claim that past tries at socialism like the Soviet Union and Communist China wasn’t really socialism and more a dictatorship. They feel that Lenin Stalin and Mao perverted it and that real socialism wouldn’t have killed 60 million people as Stalin did.

Liberals and radicals claimed that this was not true socialism. Yet the Weather Underground, chief belief was that in order to established their form of socialism that they need to eliminate at least 28 million Americans who would be a distraction to achieving their goal of a socialist United States. Eliminate is such a nice word to the real word is to murder? Because in the long run it would take a Final solution to really kill the market system. This would have to be a Long, Long road to Change. But the people would have to be condition for that "Change"? Would they not? Is this conditioning occurring now with Obama?

Can it be? That one of the founding Fathers of this group hung around Barak Obama and Obama started out his campaign in his home? Obama let slip his socialist leanings to Joe the plumber when he denied he wanted to punish wealth and insisted he just wanted to spread the wealth around.

Yet Many Americans along with Joe just could not understand Obama’s cavalier attitude toward the American dream.
Democratic commentator Bob Beckel was dismissive of the significance of Obama's outright nod to socialism, saying we've had a progressive tax system since the income tax was initiated.

But what Beckel did not explain is that at least in those days, the stated purpose of the income tax system was to fund government services, not to redistribute wealth.
Is it to hard for people in this country to understand that the Obama and Democrats are not being Progressive, but regressive. To even look to a fail system of government, can’t be label progressive in any real stretch of the imagination. Yes I said the word Socialism. We in this country are about to discover what it really means. Yes Mike, I think I know what it means, and like Joe the Plumber it frightens the hell out of me. God help us!
