I prefer Robert Nozick’s creed (answering Marx): “From each as he chooses, to each as he is chosen”.
Duh...
Over 20 million dead under Stalin...
Speaks volumes when you put it like that...
The liberals I know think Socialism is Bush’s bailout plan. It doesn’t apply to 0.
>Obama Supporters Never Heard of Socialism?<
They never heard of lies and deception either because they practice these “virtues”, constantly.
Maybe I’ll point out the obvious. The substance of government and tax policy under the Democrats and Senator Obama is not Marxist. There are superficial similarities and it paints a colorful allusion to connect the two, but if we want to hold a serious policy discussion on what the limitations of government should be, fighting the “specter of Communism” when the reality of our opposition is with Keynesian economic theory and mixed-market capitalism, defeats the common language of reality. To say Obama is a Stalinist, or some other Marxist denominator, is effectively calling wolf and destroying the credibility of the Right to influence in real terms the possibilities of a Democratic government. If the Marxist criticism was anymore than a metaphor...
Obama’s supporters are well acquainted with the concept, only they call it “social justice”. The meltdown at Freddie Mack/Fannie Mae was a direct result of application of this very same “social justice”, in that the extension of mortgage credit to individuals who were clearly incapable of supporting payments of that amount, were put into houses that proved to be both overpriced and unfit for extended occupancy by individuals who did not understand the responsibilities of home ownership. The mortgage holder is not a landlord, and within a year or less, the property may have become uninhabitable. It is not the duty of mortgage holders to fix leaking toilets and broken windows.
But in the lexicon of “social justice”, that if you have once taken on the obligation to do this for those who are economically challenged, then EVERYTHING becomes their rightful due. This is not simply a notion that has grown up spontaneously in the mind of the recipient, it has been well explained and indoctrinated into large numbers of the unsophiticated.
And all this indoctrination comes from some highly motivated and tightly disciplined cadres, who have gained control of certain segments of our educational system, particularly in some of the Democrat-dominated cities in our nation, and scattered like virus throughout the teacher training institutions all across the nation.
What are they then? They are post-marxists, post-communists without a bible or official manifesto, and they have taken over the Democrat Party which like the other party in this two party system stands for everything good and against everything bad, nothing more and nothing less. I blame the two party system myself, but let's not go there until next Wednesday (if we have to.)
How to fight them and label them is a good question, but the Pubbies would do well to refer to them as radical extremists, which is what they still are, labels or no labels!
Hell, a huge percentage of them don’t know the first thing about Obama, other than he is black. The morons interviewed on the Howard Stern show didn’t even know that Sarah Palin wasn’t his VP pick.
Obama is a National Socialist

It’s the “spread the wealth” answer, stupid.
