Obama the Marxist should be restricted to just what he needs as a bare bones president.His annual budget is through the roof at the White House.

Obama needs some of his own fairness applied to himself, and if he won’t take that, like any Marxist who detests America, he can have his ration of lead.

No, he’s a communist/Leninist - he’s only pretending to be a socialist.

I heard a fellow on a business radio show refer to obama saying “you didn’t build that”.
This radio show very rarely talks about politics, but the host compared that kind of thinking to the russian revolution.
Add to that, if you go back and look at lenin’s tactics, they are very close to how obama conducts himself.

Agitate from a safe distance away until society comes apart, then rush in to ramp up all the dissafected people to rise against the tsar. The tsar’s family didn’t fare too well after that.

Lots of parallels going on.

I’m not sure Obama believes in anything - but he has a lot of hatreds he gained in his upbringing. He doesn’t have to believe in Marxism or Islam to relish using them tactically to hurt the groups he hates.

There is much more to Marx than just socialist sentiments. There were and are plenty of socialists and communists who are not only non-Marxist but explicitly anti-Marxist. Marxism is one school of thought under the larger umbrella of socialism.

Some major differences between Marx (and Engels) and Obama:

Marx believed that socialism should not be forced on people by a large, centralized government. He believed (wrongly) that socialism and the dissolution of government would happen automatically and voluntarily after capitalism collapsed. He directly opposed attempts to force socialism, by anyone, including the government.

Marx believed it was wrong to interfere with market prices, i.e. no subsidies or price supports or minimum wage.

Marx was against having the government create school curriculum.

Marx had a labor definition of value which virtually nobody, even socialist economists, supports now, and this was the core of his teaching.

The dissimilarities go on.

Socialist != Marxist necessarily

Low Information voters think “socialism” means social networking.
