I don’t know what Forbes is doing letting Paul Roderick Gregory spew his crap without rebut... but, it’s not a good thing for the mag.

"As someone who has professionally studied and written about comparative economics, capitalism, and socialism for almost fifty years.. By 'socialist' I do not mean a Lenin, Castro, or Mao"

Maybe a few more years study is in order. Or the realization that your peak analytical years have passed.

Stupid PC tip toeing!

[Lancey Howard]

Please... “Socialist” is the polite word for “communist”.
The end game is exactly the same. Why bandy words?

[Jim from C-Town]

No, he is more like a fascist. He controls the private economy by use of cronyism and select benefits to different groups and businesses.

[Red Steel]

By “socialist,” I do not mean a Lenin, Castro, or Mao,

A Marxist is a "Socialist" who uses force or revolution to reach the 5th and final stage in the "economic evolution" called Communism, or what Karl Marx called "dialectal materialism".

So the question is is Barack Hussein Obama a socialist where revolution is not essential to achieve the ideal?

The answer is an obvious yes. But only because Obama and his fellow travelers have not figured out a way to take the US by force to make it into a Communist state like Mao, Stalin, or Castro did to their countries. To recap, it is 'yes' to both questions that he is definitely a Socialist and a wanna be Communist dictator.

[Kudsman]

Give that man a cigar. Great read. To bad it’s a horror story.

[Art in Idaho]

Duh. Is Obama a socialist? Is the sky blue? Any doubters should thoroughly review BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA and then see how they answer the question, "Is Obama a socialist?" Then ask them, "Now, can you really vote for Obama again?"

[sheik yerbouty]

Strictly speaking, he is a state capitalist, which is to say, a national socialist with Islamic and racial manias..

Praise the Lord I can still express an honest opinion of the leader of my nation. I think 50 years from now, writing such a post on a bulletin board will lead to jail time and a complete loss of the few remaining rights. In the meantime, I can call a spade a spade, and I am grateful for the ability to do so.

I also praise God I was not born much later when I would not have had free exercise of my rights. I violently grieve for future generations of oppressed Americans. They won’t know the tenth of the freedom I knew, as I don’t know the half of the freedom they had before the Civil War.

The question is not: “Is Obama a socialist?”

The question is WHY is Obama a Socialist?

Obama’s ideology is America Hater. Socialism, communism and fascism are mere vehicles to punish America. The ultimate punishment is to take this “sweet land of liberty” and turn it into a third world dung heap of warring factions more closely resembling Somalia than socialist Europe. Ant of the -isms will do as long as it delivers the goods.

The Obama would join that rank if he could.
Two things stop him: armed Americans, and his own wussiness.
