How many of you are voting for Obama because you think he is the gentleman's version of Stalin?

Question

In my opinion, communism is dictatorship by definition; there is no gentle form of it because all ownership (i.e. power) is concentrated in the hands of one entity, even if it is initially perceived as a benevolent government. But that's just my opinion. I'm here to get yours, and if you are voting for him for other reasons, that's fine too.

Wow, I found one--someone who thinks that pure Marxism could still work, as if there can be survival without any leadership, and as if that path does not lead straight back to anarchy and dictatorship.

You guys make me laugh with the far out things you reach for. I'm not talking about the fictitious 19th century ideas of communism that were never practiced anywhere, but the 20th and 21st century actual communism that Obama echoes.

And race baiting? Stalin was black now? Do you think that any criticism of a man who happens to be black is race baiting? I say the same things about Ted Kennedy. Am I Cape Cod baiting?

Answer 1

It is to early to tell who I will vote for.But I will not rule him out. I will not rule Hillary out. I will not rule Rudy Guilani out either.

Answer 2

I don't think your opinion is based on anything close to reality. Have you read the Communist Manifesto, Das Capital, or Lenin's Imperialism? Unless you have your opinion of Communism is baseless and ignorant. Actually ownership (ie power) by the Bourgeoisie as it is under capitalism is concentrated more under one entity than it would be by the Proletariat as in pure Communism. So do you believe capitalism is a dictatorship by definition?
I'm not sure yet who I am voting for. So far Obama seems like a fine upstanding man. Any innuendo about his name or trying to associate him with Communism or any other 19th century philosophy is pure bunk and race baiting.

Answer 3

Go back and read "Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx. That book defines the route to a true communist form of society. A quick boil-down for you though is this: Communism is an absence of ANY government, due to an absence of need for a government. In a true communistic society, everyone works equally hard, according to their own abilities, and everyone shares equally in the fruits of that labor.

The system of government in the Soviet Union was an oligarchy.

W. has become more of a modern Stalin than any other President by illegally seizing power he is not entitled to.

Added:
I never stated that I thought a true Communist state could exist, I just stated what it theorized to be.

Answer 4

His political stance is quite Marxist, but I don't see him killing off 36,000,000 citizens like Stalin did. Although he ight start rounding up republicnas for "reeducation."

Answer 5

I would vote for Obama because I think it's time we let someone other than a rich white man take a crack at running the country. He's young, he's got good ideas, and I don't think he would just be a pawn of his party.

Answer 6

Answer 7

WASH—Jan 15—KIN-- He was born of a Muslim father and an atheist mother, who in his own words was "a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, and position paper liberalism." She divorced when he was two years old and remarried another Muslim living in Indonesia, where the young man was educated in Catholic and Muslim schools in one of the most radical Islamic countries in the world. Though his father and stepfather were both Muslim, he tries to mitigate their religion by saying that by the time his mother married them, they had become atheists. After he was ten years old, he mostly was raised by his atheist grandparents.

The New York Daily News reports that he changed his life in his junior year of college at Columbia: he said he stopped doing drugs, ran three miles a day, and "He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives..." After graduating Columbia and then Harvard, he began working in Chicago supporting social programs. He recruited a local United Church of Christ Church on a government-sponsored community outreach. Around 1988, he joined the church because, he says, "that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved."

The United Church of Christ is not to be confused with the "Church of Christ." The United Church of Christ, however, supports homosexual marriage, abortion, environmental justice, globalism, the International Criminal Court, the Palestinian movement and believes that Israel is illegally occupying the covenant land. The UCC seems to conveniently justify and legitimize his beliefs that social progressivism is equal to Christ and he writes in his memoirs that his own salvation was not an "epiphany." He reasoned after his daughter asked about life after death, "I wasn't sure what happens when we die, any more than I was sure where the soul resides or what existed before the Big Bang."

His name is Barak Hussein Obama. And he is running for President. He is courting evangelical Christians from the pulpit at Rick Warren's Saddleback church and by using public proclamations reported in the news media. Some Christians are saying he is a Democrat that evangelical Christians can support. Many have suggested that his Islamic and atheist upbringing combined with his social progressive membership in the United Church of Christ make him an outstanding presidential candidate. Others believe he may be a threat to the national security. Will the real Obama please stand up? Jesus said in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
