Except that socialist/communist regimes murdered at least 94 million people in the 20th century alone.

Except that communism cannot survive without a capitalist boogie man to feed off of. If America goes full communist, communism is dead.

Just decide what works???

Nazism worked. Communism worked. Every totalitarian society in history has “worked” so to speak, in that, you have a system of government and how society and the economy were structured.

I disagree with Obama. You don’t just pick “what works”.

And then there is the issue of who decides “what works”. So who decides, elites such as Obama? The people through elections in a constitutional republic, which by definition will not be as efficient as other systems??? Who decides what the criteria are? Elitists like Obama and Hillary Clinton????

Communism is no utopia without the weath-to-spread-around coming from Capitalism. (See the NORKs)

“You don’t have to worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory — you should just decide what works.”


So, kiddies, whatever Obama has done...do the opposite, because he’s the anti-Midas: everything that he touches turns to $hit.

I think what he means is there is a lot of corruption in the ruling class who don’t give a rat’s ass about the wishes of the governed.

He obviously picked what didn’t and doesn’t work for US, but DID work for HIM.

Capitalism or Crony Capitalism? Because we have the latter, and he’s not far off on that.

Anyone who is surprised at this Obama speech in favor of treason and tyranny has not been paying attention.

There are millions of bodies piled up through human history because of said little difference.
