In researching Lost in Zombieland: The Rise of President Zero, I had to decide whether Omeba was socialist, communist or something else. His history is muddled and much of it is hidden and confusing. Obama isn’t cast from a single political mold. He is a political hybrid, and a very dangerous one.
Omeba is a communist of the Marxist brand. Marxists are revolutionary socialists who believe that constant class struggle is the goal. Obama believes (and sees history) that class warfare is necessary to bring about economic and social “justice”. His policies are deliberately divisive and are designed to bring about the collapse of capitalism and the American experiment.
But Obama was trained in the Alinsky communist model to hide his true goals. He became a community organizer to slip into the political system, gain power and use it to create chaos. The resulting disorder fosters desperation, especially among the poor who suffer the most from the disorder. Millions flocked to his charismatic message for hope and change. And this is how he gained the power to destroy our society and its supporting economic system.
But there is more to Omeba: he is a black racist who is motivated by the strongest desire to get even for all the imagined and real transgressions of the past, for which he holds whites exclusively responsible. His Marxism is strongly influenced by black liberation theology, which he learned at Trinity United Church under Jeremiah Wright. Omeba sat in the pews of that church for more than 20 years. Even Oprah couldn’t take the church for long, leaving it because of the incendiary anti-Americanism and anti-white hate rhetoric flowing from the pulpit. Oprah could not abide the hate, anti-Americanism and racism. Obama flourished there for over two decades, got married there, and had his daughters baptized in the church.
Omeba does indeed see history through the lens of Marxism. He sees himself as being in the vanguard of socialist revolution, at the end of which lies the rubble of capitalism and the United States of America. In Marxism, the “revolutionary struggle” is everything. Chaos created opportunity. We see this in his policies as President of the USA.
This is a good article on Omeba’s Marxist historical viewpoint.
At the end of the day--it's very transparent. Omeba's destructive tendencies are really, at the heart of it fueled by feeling unloved and unwanted childhood. (because he was)
The only place he found recognition was in the movements of those formative people in his life--underground (at the time) Marxist movements.
He would have been a much more interesting character if he, instead, rejected Marxism as a sort of rebellion to these toxic whackos around him. Alas, that five year old boy in him is still seeking their approval on some deep level.
A very fascinating bio, IMO.
