How Close Are We to Marxism?

Barack Obama never has come out and actually said that he is a Marxist. Marxists seldom do, during their revolutions, not until they are in FULL control of a Government. Fidel Castro did not announce that he was a Communist until a few months after his conquest of Cuba. However, that philosophy constantly exudes from everything Obama says in the political arena of economic theory.

Marxist Rob Sewell’s essay on Marxism:

“Just as the emerging bourgeoisie in its revolution against feudal society challenged the conservative ideas of the old feudal aristocracy, so the working class, in its fight for a new society, needs to challenge the dominant outlook of its own oppressor, the capitalist class. Of course, the ruling class, through its monopoly control of the mass media, the press, school, university and pulpit, consciously justifies its system of exploitation as the most ‘natural form of society’....”

An opposing point of view:

“Thank you, Barack Obama! You strayed off your carefully prefabricated script and let voters glimpse the real you more than at any time since you let slip your desire to “spread the wealth around” when you bumped into ”Joe the plumber” four years ago.
“Your public comments in Roanoke on July 13—“If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen”—were truly astounding. Mitt Romney called your remarks ‘insulting.’ A friend of mine used the word “ignorant.” Both are correct, but I would add another adjective: Marxist.....”

Conclusion:

Now go back to the essay by Rob Sewell. It doesn’t take a lot of intellect to see the contradictions in his theory. Capitalism DOES NOT own the press. Obama’s supporters do. Nor do they own any of the other institutions mentioned in the above paragraph. His supporters not only own the schools, they own the school of thought of Marxism, expounded by the unionized teachers and displayed in their support of Obama. Nor do capitalists own the pulpit. To debunk Sewell, all you have to do is sit through the sermons of almost any young Catholic priest, and the sermons of some protestants, particularly Jeremiah Wright. The blatant falsity of Sewell’s statement that capitalists own the universities is self-debunking when you consider that nearly all modern Marxists, including Obama, are products of the universities. We must conclude that the nation is closer to Marxist Government than we may have thought.
