New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, Socialism (FORWARD!)

The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

socialist, .... and other left-wing newspapers and publications,

Like RomneyCare and the publications that he used to attack a true patriot with LIES and the media who protected the LIAR.

THIS IS WAR, DAMMIT!

Well, it was war, also when people in the millions didn't support and vote for Newt - now they got their libtard, mitt, with his socialistic mindset and hater of conservatism/conservatives.

I couldn't get the flare right. I hope this works. If it's to tick off a lib I'm sure they'll get the point.

Excellent! Thank you very much.

I'm going to try to annoy some liberals with it.

Maybe even make it into a magnetic bumper sticker for my car.

Cheers!

An old, overused slogan perhaps, but it still works to motivate the Young Pioneers

Seems really BORING to me.

Perfect. I may put it on my Facebook page if I feel like fighting with my relatives today.

An outstanding Explanation of why Obama and Socialists past have chosen the slogan “Forward!”, from another message board:

The reason, and reasoning for “Forward” is simple.

To choose a word like Forward, is to corner a position. What O is trying to do is to create a basic connotation that anything else is “Backwards”.

You’ll see soon that all the Pundits like Maddow and Shultz will adopt this message. Claiming that “we can’t go back” anything but “forward” is backwards. And that there is no option than to stay on the path we are on.

The idea is to create a speaking point that avoids the fact that we are on the wrong track. And by claiming that the only way is forward, they don’t have to deal with heading in the wrong direction. Since the “only option” is to go back to the 2008 depression.

The pure reasoning for this, is to try and deny the opposition an alternative path from here. The argument will be that there is no other options than “Forward” or “Backward”

This is basic mass psychology, removing the logic, and reason that exists in normal speech. Whereas anyone who thinks about it knows that we don’t have to go back, to turn into a better direction, this is not an option that the O campaign wants people to hear. They want the sheep to believe that the only option to O’s Politics, is to go “Backwards.”
