Few historical events can compare to the stark contrast between boundless optimism and harsh reality and grand aspirations and futile delusions, as seen in socialism’s proliferation. Its ascent and decline represent one of the most sorrowful chapters of the past century.

The architect of the new strategy was Barack Obama, an ardent Marxist who possessed a deeper understanding of Marxism than most of his modern counterparts. Obama has challenged fundamental tenets of the ideology.
Contrary to Karl Marx’s dogma that the transition to socialism must be accomplished through violent struggle by the organized working class—the proletariat who had “nothing to lose but their chains”—Obama recognized that the traditional proletarians no longer existed in the United States. Capitalism transformed them into the bourgeoisie or middle class with home ownership and two cars in their garages. Unlike Marx’s proletarians, they had a lot to lose and no motivation for revolution.
Obama also confronted Marxists’ postulate that the prime goal of socialism—abolishing private property and concentrating means of production in the hands of government—is wealth redistribution. Instead, Obama accepted Leon Trotsky’s interpretation: “In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.”
Obama ascertained that the main purpose for expropriating the means of production was not to redistribute wealth—in fact, no wealth has ever been distributed—but, instead, to take control of the economy and then to subjugate the population.
He concluded, quite correctly, that as long as government controls the economy, it controls profits. Most importantly, Obama concluded that to control the economy, the government must control only three vital sectors—health care, finance, and energy. Thus, by controlling profits, the government can...

What the democRATs don’t tell their supporters.... “You will OBEY or starve.”
Of course, working only applies to the peasants.

The thing that Obama did well was to speed up the acceptance of socialism in America. We have far more socialism now than in 2008. Remember when his exchange with the Joe the plumber went viral? Obama let the socialist cat out of the bag.
Barack Obama - D eceiver The evil triumvirate: globalist, marxist, mohammedan in one individual.
True socialism is just fascism. The only difference is cosmetic.
Socialism leads to communism, which leads to oligarchism. Satan is the ultimate oligarch, if he gets his way.
Obama surely thinks of himself as a being with superior intelligence, knowledge, and ethics who can and will transform America into a socialist paradise. If there were ever proof needed that at his core he is delusional and clueless to reality - that he believes in Marxism is that proof.
Bonzo is finally on the way to a full commie takeover of the U.S. We’re not in the U.S. anymore, Toto.

Satan, Obama,,, same thing.
And Kammalatoes is the whore of Babylon.
It is all coming together now.
I don’t think Obama has the brains to get in out of the rain.
It is achieved by control of the flow of information.
In the digital age, this is a battle over who is allowed to publish online and who is de-platformed, shadow-banned, and de-monetized.
Weirdly written as if this was some sort of brilliant insight from Barry—rather than the whole movement of cultural marxism over the past century.
Soros is bankrolling Obozo and is making his final drive to destroy America with Obozo before he croaks.
Socialism can be accomplished much easier now days due to weakness of many people just place a sign in a stick with one word FREE and they will follow you likes rats to the river.
Obama is really too stupid to pull this off.
Someone else is pulling his strings.
The WEF is behind this but it goes deeper than just Klaus Schwab
Socialism leads to communism

Obama’s lasting legacy will be about “stain on his shorts that I’ve got on mine”.
