The U.S. used to be a capitalist country, but is now becoming a Marxist society, said Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.”
Kiyosaki was a veteran of the Vietnam War who had seven uncles fighting in World War 2. “I fought for capitalism,” he said. “America is going Marxist.”
The evolution of socialism in the U.S. started with the anti-war protests following the Vietnam War, Kiyosaki said.
“When I came back [from Vietnam] the hippies were outside just like the protesters are today in Chicago. I got hit with rotten eggs, I got hit with stink bombs, I got spit on and all this, and those were the hippies. Some of them were my classmates: SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), Black Panthers, all of those guys. And what happened to the baby boom SDS members? They became school teachers. A lot of my peers are now teaching in the highest levels of academia,” he said.
Kiyosaki has prepared for a time when he would have to leave the U.S., he said, by holding safe haven assets like gold and silver.

What's stopping him?
So many lost opportunities to fix this by Republicans in the past. Now all may be lost. We should of DESTROYED these commies decades ago. Arrested them all on RICO charges along with the race pimps!
Well...maybe some people will finally start getting the message...his readers cover, I would think, a wide political spectrum
Its why I’ve always thought someone like Bill Ayers should LOVE the USA.
In the rest of the world, throughout history, if you play violent politics, if you throw bombs, if you try to take down the government - you get a bullet in the back of the head.
In America, you get funding and research grants - from rich capitalists! You get to lead universities, you get to publish books.
Isn’t America great?!
Where would he flee to?
IIRC, Kiyosaki supported Obama.
We have to realize that capitalism has morphed into a Laissez-faire profit uber everything maeket which should be remedied, but the Marxists would rather destroy. We know that, yet asked for it in this country.
What’s stopping him?
Robert had better bow down before Jesus. His dang gold and metal ain’t going to squat for him in the end.
Totalitarianism? I wouldn’t worry about it unless Trump is thrown out.
If he’s smart he will stay here and hold his gold which will be with a sizeable amount when Trump rolls out the new Treasury dollar backed by gold.
Apologies for the double post.
Old movie, but it is worth rewatching “The Killing Fields”. The Khmere Rouge is a kindler gentler version of faggyfa, but they want the exact same things
Did he lose his ‘PBS Pledge Week’ contract ?
You are misinformed. Capitalism has NOT morphed into free market laissez-faire. It has slowly become more Big government Marxist/Socialist, protecting monopolies by Government subsidies and tax breaks while hammering the small players
Mr. Kiyosaki may well be correct, but I’ll never know...What he’s talking about for one thing...
I’ve tried watching his videos and found them nigh on to unintelligible, rambling gobble-de-gook...Probably just me...
But Kiyosaki did call Obama out as anti-business...
I don’t think he wrote the headline.
Let the Communists leave.
They can go to the Marxist country of their choice and stay there.
