Obama Tells Argentinian Youths There’s Little Difference Between Socialism, Marxism and Capitalism

Barack Obama told an audience of Argentinian youth that the differences between socialism and capitalism make interesting conversation but just pick whatever works. The ideological-left US president suddenly doesn't have an affinity for ideology.

He said in the past there was a sharp division between communists, socialists and capitalists but that is merely an intellectual argument and it's not so today.

The Marxist in the White House is erasing the lines between two dangerous ideologies and the one that made the US great, just as he erased our borders. This is a man who would be at home in communist China.

"So often in the past there has been a division between left and right, between capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate," Obama said at the Buenos Aires town hall.

"Those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it really fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory. You should just decide what works."

For Obama, high taxation, wild spending, government agency domination over the people and heavy regulations work which tells you what he is.

If the dipsh*t had ever actually studied any history, he would know that it is CAPITALISM that works every time, while communism and socialism have repeatedly demonstrated that they do not work!

“Just decide what works.”

So tell us, wise one, what works?

No, but if you are the leader in a commie country you get to fly around in multiple jets, stay at luxurious resorts, spend taxpayer money at will, and lecture others on sacrifice. No wonder our glorious leader is confused as to
the difference in political systems.

Just think. If this moron wasn’t the POTUS he’d be a little known “instructor” at some obscure “liberal arts” college. This is how they think and speak.

He should give this speech in Poland, the Czech Republic or Hungary.

His underlying message is “Liberty is dead.”

He is just so brilliant/s. I pray we can recover our nation after he is out of office- counting the days.

As practiced by modern governments, he has a point. Powerful people in government and industry cooperate for their mutual and personal benefit. How that is sold to the gullible public varies, and how the public is kept from becoming restive varies.

That may be the only true things he’s said in 8 years. When he said it on the campaign trail most did not give those 2 words a second thought.

Yes you can. Here’s how: the store or whatever will pretend to sell it to you and you pretend to buy it. See? Simple proof that communism works!

One of the differences is that Socialism and Marxism cannot survive unless it can feed off of Capitalism. Without a capitalist America, Socialism and Marxism die. All you have left is poverty, misery and slavery.

There actually is not much difference between communism and the extreme crony capitalism that now exists.
