Thread Name: BS: Obama's Greatest Achievement?
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Greatest Achievement?
So Obama's not a Marxist? Maybe he's a fascist. I've argued that before. Let's examine some points:

COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
Abolition of private property
Heavy progressive income tax
Abolition of all rights of inheritance
Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels
Central Bank
Government control of Communications & Transportation
Government ownership of factories and agriculture
Government control of labor
Corporate farms, regional planning
Government control of education

CHARACTERISTICS OF FASCISM
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
Supremacy of the Military
Rampant Sexism
Controlled Mass Media
Obsession with National Security
Religion and Government are Intertwined
Corporate Power is Protected
Labor Power is Suppressed
Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fraudulent Elections

Hitler said his National Socialism was based on Marx, so go figure. Is Obama a Marxist or a fascist? All I know is he's transforming the country, as he promised he would, and he displays MAJOR characteristics of both a Marxist and a fascist. I guess he's a Farxist.
