New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

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.

“Forward” is just Marxist lingo for “Bend over”.

Duh.

Most people wouldn’t know, obviously. Most conservatives are too bored or bummed out or disgusted by it to study, and most libs take their commieisms secondhand. But anybody who knows anything about that world knows. Just like they knew Obama’s Warhol hopey-changey portrait pose aped Che. It could only be more obvious if the slogan was “To Each According To Their Needs” or “99% of the World, Unite!”

Forward is what hitler's brown shirted youth chanted when they marched through Berlin.

I fear that political junkies like Freepers miss what “working or uninformed” voters want to know. This story is a good example, the average person is worried sick about the cost of gasoline, groceries, and utilities - all you have in the daily political stories is Obambi is a Kenyan or nobody can find his college transcripts. How does that equate with the folks concerned about “bread and butter “ issues?

It says quite a bit about them, us and the state of the nation that the modern socialist demonrat party isn't hiding it any more.

Things got hot and crazy evil the last times and places they felt comfortable enough to be so blatant.

Yep, this was no innocent coincidence. It’s a fully cognizant dog whistle to ideological types both left and right. It’s either a high five or a screw you depending on which side you’re on. They know that we know what they’re doing. They also are banking on the electorate either not knowing or not caring. As such, it is cynical to the hilt.

Yes. Your post is exactly correct. Now's not the time to turn the other cheek. This time, they're not hiding. It's: In Your Face!!!

But, if we must turn our cheek, while we're looking that way, it's just a short glance over our shoulder to see how history decodes that signal.

What is coming is not sneaking up on us.

Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

Not any longer. After Obama's choice of "Forward" as a campaign slogan there was an aggressive movement to deleve the generic section on the socialist use of Forward for socialist publications.

The pro-Obamites won and the Wiki-article was deleted.
