Obama as a Marxist

[Agnapostate]

I've increasingly heard Barack Obama depicted as a Marxist, so I'd be curious to know what Marxist theories he advocates.

Moreover, I'd be curious to know of his accusers' knowledge of Marxism. Let's take an example of Marxian political economy: crisis theory. When it comes to two specific forms of crisis, underconsumption crisis and profit squeeze crisis, which occurs when the capitalist class is too strong and which occurs when they are too weak?

Agna, take a chill pill...no one cares OK?

 

[Agnapostate]

Settle down. We're just having fun with economics.

All I know is he is a dumb ass. Most marxists are dumb asses. Therefore, he's a marxist dumbass. Anyone who follows ant farm mentality is a dumb ass. People are indivuals by nature. Marxism is collectivist, much like an ant farm. If ant farm doesn't work as a metaphore than how about "beehive"?

No matter what, far leftists are borderline mental retards with the ability to convey their thoughts and that's it.

There's the problem. No Fucking Clue Syndrome

There's the problem. No Fucking Clue Syndrome

Yup!

And these nitwits honestly think if they sound tough we won't notice their essantial cluelessness, too.

Here's a clue, Guncling... read a book, ya' fucking ignoramous.

 

[Agnapostate]

What's this, no takers? What happened to all the idiots frothing at the mouth that he was a socialist or a Marxist?

Perhaps he's only marxistish? What do you think?

Wow, you've pretty much just validated for me every negative assumption I make about posters who sling around the term "marxist" (or socialist for that matter). Thanks!!!

Take a bow, man!

Perhaps references to Marxism and socialism are bullshit mostly parroted by rightist idiots who know nothing about Marxist or socialist theory. There's my take on it.

 

[WillowTree]

I've stated many times.. listen now... Black Liberation Theology.. Marxist.

These people calling Obama a Marxists remind me of very young children who call people names using words they don't understand.

If you point is to set out to prove to the somewhat informed (but who are not anarchro-socialists or whatever it is you call yourself) that these people don't have a clue about political science, save your ASCII.

We know, believe me, Agna, we know.

 

[Munin]

... so I'd be curious to know what Marxist theories he advocates ...

There comes a point where exaggeration becomes pointless: I think you are far over it.

 

[Agnapostate]

I've stated many times.. listen now... Black Liberation Theology.. Marxist.

Black liberation theology is a specifically social element of progressivism as a whole, and not specifically Marxism. What specific Marxist economic policies does he advocate?

As to exaggeration, Munin, they're far over the line, as evidenced by their failure to reply.

 

[AllieBaba]

Someone did reply. And made her point swimmingly.

 

[Agnapostate]

Someone did reply. And made her point swimmingly.

No, she didn't. Her point was irrelevant and off-topic. But since you're the economics expert, here's your question about Marxian economics: When it comes to two specific forms of crisis, underconsumption crisis and profit squeeze crisis, which occurs when the capitalist class is too strong and which occurs when they are too weak?

This is a little off topic, but not by much. On paper, communism is suppose to be the perfect form of government. But with the intangilbles, such as human nature, it has shown to be a big failure....I just don't see Marxist, or any other form of socialism to fair much better than communism because of the intangibles.
On paper, capitialism is suppose to be the weakest form of government, yet with those same intangibles, it has been proven to be the strongest form of government. Why would this be? If this is known, why would anyone want to defend a Marxist, or any other type of socialism, or communism government with a straight face.
Now don't beat me up on my ignorance, but it is an honest question

Perhaps you'd prefer to dispute Newsweek?

I've increasingly heard Barack Obama depicted as a Marxist, so I'd be curious to know what Marxist theories he advocates.

How about class warfare for instance? This marxist idea has manifested itself both through racism and economic comparisons.

How about health issues addressed in the "stimulus" package? This is basically a sneak approach to establish socialized health care.

Much of what Obama does will not be head-on marxism. After all, he must fool the people who adore him...like you for instance. However, his many leftist friends and underlings will take us toward those marxist ideals one step at a time. Socialism is here and growing stronger by the minute.

Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth. President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change." A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change. Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists.

If the people he surrounds himself with are any indication of his core beliefs, a higher capital gains tax to punish the rich, even if it diminishes actual tax revenue, may be only the beginning. Obama's Official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint, is certainly a believer in class warfare.

The capitalist ruling class of the United States exercises a virtual dictatorship not only over American society, but also over the entire world. This capitalist class rule is the basic cause of the poverty, wars and the degradation of the natural environment.


After being expelled from Socialist Action in 1999, we formed Socialist Workers Organization in an attempt to carry on the project of building a nucleus of a revolutionary party true to the historic teachings and program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky.

Socialist Viewpoint ([email protected]

The product of a Harvard education, Sam is an admirer of anti-American academic Noam Chomsky, a hypocrite and fraud masquerading as a political philosopher. Mr. Chomsky, perhaps admired by Obama as by his official blogger, is fond of visiting dictators and terrorists and giving speeches blaming all the worlds' ills on America. All while accepting money from military conteacts at MIT. Chomsky was an ardent supporter of Pol Pot, and to this day denies a holocaust occurred in Cambodia (1.67 million died). He is unrepentant about the horrors his vile ideology encouraged and supports Hamas and Hezbollah with the same willful blindness today.
