I must disagree with you, the libs are not commies, but given how Obama is running things, fascist. For one thing they do NOT want the “State” to “whither away”, a central theme of Marx. They cannot be Socialists as they are not looking for govt ownership of the means of production. They want govt CONTROL of the means of production (and the ability to appoint each other to positions where they can attain great wealth). This is the classic definition of fascism.
Very well said
