Drew: As far as I can tell, I’m the only person in Obama’s extended circle of friends who is willing to speak out and verify that he was a Marxist-Leninist in his sophomore year of college from 1980 to 1981. I met him because I graduated from Occidental College in 1979, and I was back at Occidental visiting a girlfriend.
Kengor: Was Occidental known for radical-left politics? Would that have been an attraction to Obama?
Drew: It was considered the Moscow of southern California when I was there. There were a lot of Marxist professors, many of whom I got to know pretty well. ... What I know absolutely for sure — and this is where I really sought you out and I really wanted to be helpful in terms of the historic record — was to verify that Barack Obama was definitely a Marxist and that it was very unusual for a sophomore at Occidental to be as radical or as ideologically attuned as young Barack Obama was.
Kengor: You said that Obama was introduced to you at Occidental College as a Marxist? Because you were one [a Marxist] at that point?
Drew: Yeah, that’s embarrassing for me, but I studied Marxist economics when I was at the University of Sussex in England. I had a junior-year scholarship over there and I did my senior honors thesis on Marxist economics when I was at Occidental College. And I also founded [the] Democratic Student Socialist Alliance, you know, under a different name, in 1976.
Kengor: John, now you had told me before, and I’m reading from my own book here, “Obama was already an ardent Marxist when I met him in the fall of 1980. [Quotation from above continued.]”
Drew: Yeah, that’s exactly right. Obama believed, at the time I met him — this was probably around Christmastime in 1980 — because, you know, I had flown out during Christmas break from Cornell, where I was doing my graduate work. Young Obama was looking forward to an imminent social revolution — literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a kind of socialist utopia in the United States. I mean, that’s how extreme his views were his sophomore year of college.
Kengor: And you would know this because you were a comrade, so to speak.
Drew: Yeah, I was a comrade, but I was kind of more what Michael Savage called the “Frankfurt School” of Marxism at the time. I was, you know, I felt like I was doing Obama a favor by pointing out that the Marxist revolution that he and [our friends] were hoping for was really kind of a pipe dream, and that there was nothing in European history or the history of developed nations that would make that sort of fantasy — you know, Frank Marshall Davis fantasy of revolution — come true.
Kengor: So you had a realistic sense that even though you liked these ideas, it [Marxist revolution] really couldn’t happen or really wouldn’t even work.
Drew: Right. I was ... still a card-carrying Marxist, but I was kind of a more advanced, East Coast, Cornell University Marxist, I think, at the time.
Kengor: But Obama thought it was practical — he thought you could make this happen in America?
Drew: Oh yeah, and he kind of thought I was, you know, a little reactionary —
Kengor: — that you were conservative compared to him!
Drew: Yeah, like I was kind of insensitive to the needs of the coming revolution. So that’s why I said [Obama] was full-bore, 100% into that simpleminded Marxist, revolutionary mental framework.
Anyone and I repeat anyone who looked a trillionth of an inch below President Obama’s “calm” surface would have been able to see long before the last election that he is a Marxist. His parents and grandparents were leftists. The people who influenced him growing up and many of his associations now are Marxists. President Obama hates this country and is doing everything in his power to destroy it. John McCain had a twisted sense of fairness, and he didn’t even try to show the voters who Barack Obama was. In this sense, McCain didn’t just harm himself; he did irreparable harm to this country. We will be paying for McCain’s sense of “fairness” for years to come.
Too many in this nation believes that there is nothing wrong with communism as long as the RIGHT people are in charge and the media along with academia are the biggest cheerleaders of this ideal.
We conservatives care but the rest of the nation is asleep or brainwashed.
I can vouch for that--I was at "Moscow on the hill" for four years.
Every day there’s at least one news story calling for Captain Obvious.
“Page not found” at link.
FINALLY some remembers the pos somewhere!
Surprised they found somebody who actually saw Obama at the school.
First one, I believe.
Where were you in 2008?? You should have said it then!!!
Drew was also interviewed on the radio and there may be other tidbits in the radio interview that weren't covered in this article: Marlzberg: OK, So there's Barry Obama, and... tell me why you believe that he was a Marxist back then? Drew: OK, well my most vivid memory is how INSISTENT he was in arguing a Marxist / Leninist point of view. I was arguing a more moderate Marxist view that just said that even though a lot of Marxist ideas were correct, it was implausible that we would ever see a revolution led by the working class to overthrow the elite. And Obama did NOT buy that AT ALL. He made a very principled, dedicated, impassioned argument that in fact, a REAL revolution was coming. And in a sense, we should all get on board and prepare ourselves physically and emotionally for that revolution. |
