Obama warns about dangers of market-based systems: 'Compatible with slavery'

But just because an economic system generated wealth and innovation doesn’t mean it guarantees a good society," Obama said. "Because from the outset, market-based systems have been compatible with slavery, caste systems, colonialization, war, exploration, corruption, fraud, autocracy, the poisoning of our natural environment."

As Obama listed, the audience applauded. The former president went on to credit Democratic governments for "moderating capitalism's excesses" with a "social safety net." According to him, it will take "young leaders to help us think and act anew" about "creating an economic system that supports and sustains our democratic values."

He has gone full communist. He could not hide it forever. Pathetic human being. 🙄

[Nateman]

The Soviet System had slavery, caste systems, colonization, war, exploitation, corruption, fraud, autocracy, and the poisoning of the natural environment. Plus it sucked so bad it had to put up walls to keep people escaping from their Socialist Paradise into Capitalist Hell.

"creating an economic system that supports and sustains our democratic values."

Vague, intentionally.

Capitalism supports and sustains democratic values more than any other system: communism, socialism, Marxism, etc.

Leftists don't like it because they can't control it, so they try to destroy it.

Flooding a country with foreigners who don’t speak the language and can’t get jobs is a system of slavery.

Now he’s openly admitting he’s the Commie we knew he was.

Exactly! While he and his fat-assed wife are schlepping around in their 10 million dollar mansion paid for by the taxpayers. World-class POS!

…market-based systems have been compatible with slavery, caste systems, colonialization, war, exploration, corruption, fraud, autocracy, the poisoning of our natural environment.

Substitute Marxist-, Socialist-, Monarchy-, or just about any other system fallen man has created, for “market-“ and it’s equally true.

[Williams]

This Marxist sob has been rearing his ugly head lately.

>> Bill O’Reilly said that Obama was a classic liberal, not a socialist.

Bill O’Reilly was full of shit, as usual. Hussein is a full-blown Marxist, and a satan-worshipping muslim to boot.

And what’s sobering — after the stolen election he is still operating as POTUS. Biden is a literal puppet, without the ability to act. The evil marxist Hussein pulls ALL the federal government strings.

[yldstrk]

Obama is a trouble maker.

-"market-based systems have been compatible with slavery, caste systems, colonialization, war, exploration, corruption, fraud, autocracy, the poisoning of our natural environment."-

No, slavery is not compatible with a free market. We could probably pick apart that whole list and point out that governments are what lead to war, corruption, fraud, etc.

By the way, what's wrong with exploration?

Bill O’Reilly is a tone deaf, bloated wind bag. He never looks below the surface of anything, and accepts as truth whatever lies are fed to him.

[laplata]

He’s at the top of the most Evil list.

That’s right.

[piasa]

Nothing classical about his autocraticism.

How dumb are American voters to elect a community organizer from south side (ghetto side) of Chicago?

[piasa]

Everything he listed applies to communism, oddly enough he hasn’t figured that out yet because he is such a snob thinking he got a good education rather than an affirmative action pass.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Nurtured by commie Frank Marshall Davis.
Commie at Occidental College.
“fundamental transformation”
On and on and on.

How dumb are American voters to elect a community organizer from south side (ghetto side) of Chicago?

Dumb enough to elect him -- twice.

[Recall how bad the economy, etc., were under Obama's first term. Yet, voters gave him four more years to continue his destruction.]
