Marx and Obama
Posted by j_IR1776wg 10 years, 5 months ago to Government
Karl thought three phases would be needed to achieve Utopia. "...Marx described three necessary phases toward achieving his idea of utopia.
•Phase 1: A revolution must take place in order to overthrow the existing government. Marx emphasized the need for total destruction of the existing system in order to move on to Phase 2.
•Phase 2: A dictator or elite leader (or leaders) must gain absolute control over the proletariat. During this phase, the new government exerts absolute control over the common citizen's personal choices -- including his or her education, religion, employment and even marriage. Collectivization of property and wealth must also take place.
•Phase 3: Achievement of utopia. This phase has never been attained because it requires that all non-communists be destroyed in order for the Communist Party to achieve supreme equality. In a Marxist utopia, everyone would happily share property and wealth, free from the restrictions that class-based systems require. The government would control all means of production so that the one-class system would remain constant, with no possibility of any middle class citizens rising back to the top. (You can see the full text of the manifesto at this Web site.)..."
Which of the three phases do you think Obama would say we're in?

"Comrade citizen" is reserved for my evil twin.
That's All-American Allosaurus----to you!
You mean this (^) guy? You think he's possibly part of the solution?
What is the issue with Obama anyway? Sure he may have overstepped constitutional bound because the House of Representatives has decided to remain politically stagnant, but under the Obama administration, America is doing better in a lot of ways than it ever has been(http://www.freep.com/story/opinion/readers/2014/11/07/obama-election-republicans-gop-democrats-senate/18606217/), no thanks to any legislation passed by the republicans you think are doing anything to help advance this country. I don't know how many people here are libertarians, but as one, I find that I have the perspective to take an unbiased look at the two parties- and all of you idiots who think that because you read Ayn Rand you're now an expert on objectivism and conservative philosophy- you're wrong. When you can begin to move on from the propaganda spewed by Fox news, and quit associating Obama with any form of Marxism, you will finally be able to reach a state that others might call "reasonable."

Obama is just following what has already been planned, but it won't end with him, IMO.
