Communists, socialists, Marxists, Oh my!
WorldNetDaily ^ | February 24, 2011 | Aaron Klein

One of the main groups organizing the Wisconsin union protests is a spinoff from an activist academy modeled after Marxist community organizer Saul Alinsky and described as teaching tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation.

President Obama once funded that academy - the radical Midwest Academy. He has been closely tied to the group's founder, socialist activist Heather Booth.

Obama also is closely tied to scores of other radicals behind the Wisconsin opposition protesting Gov. Scott Walker's proposal for most state workers to pay 12 percent of their health care premiums and 5.8 percent of their salary toward their own pensions.

Walker's proposal reportedly would save $300 million in the next two years for a state that faces a financial crisis amid a $3.6 billion deficit..

A slew of radical groups and unions have been organizing the protests against Walker's proposal as well as counter protests to a recent tea party rally in support of the governor's plan.

Obama's own political machine has aided in organizing protests in Wisconsin

Counter protests were led in part by radical groups like Veterans for Peace, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and the Workers World Party.

I just call him a Communist. Thanks to the MSM and uninformed ignorant voters we got one in the White House and all that goes with it. They are most dangerous when the power slips away

Marxist theory is why we are inexplicably hearing about the Koch brothers. There has to be a capitalist in the struggle. The Koch brothers have NOTHING to do with the situation in Madison, but for the simplistic Marxist theory to work, there has to be some sort of capitalist oppressor working against the people. The fact that the Union is the true fatcat capitalist bad guy in the Wisconsin situation does not fit the Marxist narrative, so they had to invent an evil bogeyman. The truly oppressed in Wisconsin is the non- citizen.

Very good insight.

If Obama was a Marxist his goal would be to purposefully, deliberately bankrupt America and destroy the private sector free market capitalist economy.

If this were his intent, what would he have done differently thus far during his presidency?

A real question, please give me a real answer.

If this goal were reached, the socialist would have America’s untouched oil reserves, the oil industry would be nationalized. The environmental concerns would have been forgotten.

“They are most dangerous when the power slips away.”

That is very true. They are the most obvious during that time, too.

Thank God for the new media.

“If Obama was a Marxist his goal would be to purposefully, deliberately bankrupt America and destroy the private sector free market capitalist economy.”

He’s been doing just that with his Keynesian economics.

“If this were his intent, what would he have done differently thus far during his presidency?”

He would have, instead of restraining the private sector, unleashed it.

“If this goal were reached, the socialist would have America’s untouched oil reserves, the oil industry would be nationalized. The environmental concerns would have been forgotten.”

Nationalizing any industry is communism...not socialism.

Do your homework, then get back to me.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. We are in the process of rebuilding, and there are a fair number of Representatives and Senators, from both parties, who have their day of reckoning yet to come.

This is a multi-election revolution.
