Marx-ism/Obama-ism?

My thoughts of why President Obama is pursuing a course of political self-destruction have finally been brought to bear on his source of personal energy and foundational beliefs.

The parallels between Barak Obama and Karl Marx are so distinct in nature that they cannot be denied or ignored.

Karl Marx led a life of anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-progress, anti-capitalist, anti-worker, and anti-anything that modern society (people) wanted to achieve on their own in an individualist way of life.

The Marxist theorems and ideologies are so ingrained in the Obama Presidency (transfer of wealth from capitalism to Marxism, Socialism, and Communism) that it is obvious that the goal of transitioning the United States from an economy based on capitalism to a socialist re-distributional way of life has to be the motivation behind the President’s socialist tendencies.

Karl Marx believed that industrial capitalism should be replaced with an economic system that is run by the workers themselves. He believed that people who worked for the [capitalist bourgeois] were doomed to a life of servitude and would never be able to achieve self-fulfillment.

My overall understanding of his revolutionist way of thinking was to overthrow all capitalism and replace it with a communal (communist) form of government.

The following is part of a Eulogy that friend and fellow communist theorist Friedrich Engels delivered at the death of Karl Marx.

From the Eulogy one can gain some understanding of the thinking and life of Mr. Marx.

It is my hope that President Obama does not have the opportunity to enter into his Transitional Plan for America without one hell of a political fight from the capitalist and conservatives who recognize and pursue the American Dream.

”For Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat, which he was the first to make conscious of its own position and its needs, conscious of the conditions of its emancipation. Fighting was his element. And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a success such as few could rival. His work on the first Rheinische Zeitung (1842), the Paris Vorwarts (1844), the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung (1847), the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1848-49), the New York Tribune (1852-61), and, in addition to these, a host of militant pamphlets, work in organisations in Paris, Brussels and London, and finally, crowning all, the formation of the great International Working Men's Association -- this was indeed an achievement of which its founder might well have been proud even if he had done nothing else.

And, consequently, Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers -- from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America -- and I make bold to say that, though he may have had many opponents, he had hardly one personal enemy.”
