The problem is, by and large most Americans are not "radicals" and do not support "radicalism"...at least in the socialist/communist sense.
Not all of us make it, but most of us cherish the guarantee of the PURSUIT of happiness; but way too many confuse "happiness" with "prosperity".
These radicals - not unlike Jim Jones and his commune - usually only have support of their "believers", but eventually the flock learns more about their "shepard", and want no part of him.
The kenyan's commune - i.e. unions, mainstream media, and other assorted chia pets - will eventually be asked to take a sip of the "kool-aid", as king $#!+ would rather see them destroyed, than disloyal.
Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, and if the people tolerate it long enough the powers that be will amass enough power to keep them imprisoned (E. Germany, Cuba, etc) in order to retain a "kingdom".
There is no "right way" to run socialism, for it requires the extortion of, and spending of, other people's money...while at the same time ideologically destroying the "other peoples'" method of earning that money.
They are adolescents to depend on their "allowance" to get by, until the parents are tapped out, and then they kill them to get the house.
Take my word for it, Americans don't know how to NOT BE free...so obamaism will never work for very long.

"Take my word for it, Americans don't know how to NOT BE free . . .
On this, I wholeheartedly agree. Some Americans, at least.
