"Since Obama is the biggest spender in history, the biggest taxer in history, the biggest debt creator in history, and the biggest creator of regulations in history, it’s safe to say Obama is a Marxist."

I dissagree with that statement, but not the conclusion.

Marxism is public control of the means of production. When we apply the term to everything we don't like, the term loses it's definition.

Being a spender of government funds does not define a marxist. By that definition George Washington was the biggest spender in history during his time.

Same thing with taxes, debt, or regulations. That statement would apply to George Washington just as well as Obama.

Government takeover of industries and his stated desire to redistribute wealth is what defines Obama as a Marxist.

Ignoring the rule of law and the constitution, is what defines Obama as a dictator.

True. In order to have lawlessness all one has to do is ignore the law.

By all accounts Obama is the Lawless One.

It may not fit the definition but if Obama wrecks the USA as he’s clearly doing, the government will control just about everything including production.

Regardless of what one wants to call it, this thug is breaking the USA.
