Obama IS a Socialist… Again


I was recently presented a multiplicity of video clips that showed how Obama is actually a socialist, and not a far left Democrat. Now how do I prove this? First, I looked up the definition of socialism in the Oxford computer dictionary, and I quote “a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” The thesaurus of the same Oxford source sites these words as synonymous with socialism: “leftism, welfarism; radicalism, progressivism, social democracy; communism, Marxism, labor movement”. Community as a whole, the only thing that the entire community belongs to is the Country, and as American’s we all belong to out Republican government, in which people vote to have politicians represent them. That is the definition of a Republican Government, so the “community as the whole” basically means the government. I am looking at this definition and I am thinking “Holy crap… That is Obama all the time”.

Firstly, “advocates that the means of production… should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole”. We have two places we can look at for this one, Cap-and-Trade and Production Tsars. C-a-T is the process through which the government says how much carbon you can produce, and if you want to produce more carbon you must pay the government, or buy another company’s carbon share. Why do companies need to produce carbon?, because carbon is a bi-product of production of everything we make! So, in essence the government is saying we can only produce a certain amount of things, then, we pay someone else so that we can continue being productive, a.k.a. advocating our production.

Next, Production Tsars. Now, if you don’t think this one sounds bad you are so far left wing I would prefer you not read my blog. These are the people that the Obama Admin. (and that the Bush Admin. proposed) would send to various companies to “monitor” them after the bailouts we have given them. So, the government is saying “Here take someone else’s money and spend it, but in turn, we will do this and this and that and regulate a few things and now you can’t do this or that… etc.”

Thirdly “advocates that the means of… distribution… should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole”. Everyone has heard of re-distribution of wealth. It has the same word in his policy and the definition of socialism. HELLO, is anyone making the connection here other than the opinion commentators on my favorite channel, FNC. Obama will take hard earned money from people who have jobs that are often quite important. I am tired of hearing “the person on the line is just as important as the CEO of the company!” That is not true at all. If the CEO makes a mistake the entire business can go down the tubes and go bankrupt while all the guys on the line lose their job. If the guy on the line makes a mistake “oh no a broken toy!”. The CEO’s job is much higher staked therefore the CEO should be paid more money.

Fourthly, “advocates that the means of… exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” Once again, C-a-T. The Trade part of that between the companies in controlled by, guess who?, the government! Another exchange policy Obama is controlling is the buying of guns and ammunitions. Obama has suggested implementing a policy in which to buy a gun you would have to have an one million dollar insurance policy for the gun if it is “accidentally discharged and injures/kills someone, or if its purposefully shot and injures/kills someone”. There is not one, not one, insurance agency in ALL of America that will insure those situations. So, Obama’s goal? The ending of all gun ownership by Americans. The reason we were given a Constitutional Right to have guns is not to hunt, but to protect us from a tyrannical government like Obama’s. He is stripping us from our rights and money and this is why Obama is a Socialist.

Very good first diary Cameron....

I always say The Founders put the second behind the first to protect your Freedom of Speech and you are the perfect example of the next generations speech and I am glad you are on OUR side :-)

I agree, great first diary Cameron!!

I am so glad that you started posting here. Good job!! :-)

I'll add a 'third' to that!

Very articulate first diary. I can relate to you, when I was 14 I wrote to my Congressman (addressed ‘Dear Ralph’!) and asked for the voting age to be lowered to 14! It’s great that you’re taking an active role. Most folks your age have their heads buried in an iPod or game system and are clueless about the world around them.
Keep studying, writing, and working for a better America. Gives us ‘old’ folks hope for the future!

This is called a 'Kowalski' on RedState...

when someone replies to their own comment! A couple other things you might find of interest:

1. I don’t know why you posted your diary twice, but in case you don’t know, you CAN edit your diaries even after they are posted.
2. As a young conservative, you may want to check out this web site if you haven’t already.

OK, double-Kowalski...

Don’t know why the link didn’t work. So here it is again.

Thx for the link

I checked it out and it seems quite interesting. I will be able to look over it in more detail later but i can’t wait to join YAF. Thx!

I haven't decided if he's a Socialist or a Fascist yet.

Brian Hibbert (Diary) Thursday, May 14th at 9:02AM EST (link)

By the way, great first diary.

Want to REALLY blow your mind? Do some research on Fascism and Mussolini’s early years….

The progressives in this country would have you believe that Fascism is what you get when you take conservatism too far. That’s completely false. Fascism is a statist ideology with it’s roots in socialist. The main differences are:
Socialists believe that the government should have direct ownership and control of the means of production while Fascists believe that the ownership of the means of production should remain in corporate hands so long as the corporation is meeting the needs of the state. When the corporation no longer meats the needs of the state, the state will take over or transfer ownership of the corporation (sound familiar?).
Socialists appeal to class envy to generate support. Fascists appeal to nationalism. (Nazis combined nationalism with race hatred, but never denounced their Socialist origins.)

The reason I haven’t decided on Obama yet is because the way he’s dealing with corporate America is more Fascist in nature. IE replacing the CEO of GM, cutting Chrysler’s advertising budget, taking over AIG, determining corporate payrolls, etc are more Fascist style actions than Socialists.

His rhetoric, however, is more class envy and he definitely does NOT appeal to nationalism.

But perhaps I should just embrace the power of AND and assume he’s combining both ideologies to consolidate as much power as he can as quickly as he can.

He soon began to call for the moral purification of the body politic and a community of the people. He confined certain groups and individuals who were already hated feared or envied by many citizens. His government initially soft-peddled it goals. It opted for less ostentatious and semilegal steps to begin a reversal of direction.

Neo-Fascist?

Diogenes314 (Diary) Thursday, May 14th at 11:15AM EST (link)

You’re correct that the one quality that separates Fascists from the current crop of lunatics running the asylum is patriotism.You could argue though that their mission is to de-Americafy our country to the point it becomes the socialist paradise of their warped dreams, at which point they can love it again.

Or we could just refer top them as vile idiots. Recommended.

 

Since the fascists were socialist it's a distinction

Achance (Diary) Thursday, May 14th at 11:42AM EST (link)

without much of a difference. I guess the difference is that under the fascists, both Italiian and German, there emerged a sort of state capitalism or national socialism where the means of production nominally remained in private hands and make profits so long as their actions were “coordinated” with the policies of the Fascist parties.

The real distinction is that the fascists or national socialists were not full-blown communists and in fact opposed the communists. A more interesting question is how much of that opposition was ideological and how much was simply about power. If you look especially at Germany late in the Wiemar, it could have gone any way; remained a liberal republican democracy, gone with the NSDAP, or gone to the communists, and the odds were on the communists. The Nazis shrewdly made common cause with business and industry against the unions/communists and ultimately prevailed with that coalition.

Until Uncle Joe said it wasn’t cool anymore. Then they became the devil. Until the Molotov?Ribbentrop pact. Then they were cool again. Until Hitler invaded Russia…

Yeah, they went straight from sabotaging war production

Soon to be new Obama and Socialism post

cameron3332 (Diary) Friday, May 15th at 9:49AM EST (link)

This post only depicted Obama’s left-wing economic and domestic leanings. The next one of these will focus on Obama foreign policy (which we all know is a joke).
