Obama doubles down on Marxist jargon

Obama made the following comment at a fundraising speech on Sunday:

“Do we go forward towards a new vision of an America in which prosperity is shared?”

As discussed in previous threads, Obama’s new campaign slogan is “FORWARD” which has long been associated with the Communist movement as far back as Marx, Lenin and Trotsky.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications,” the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The notion of  “shared prosperity” has long been at the core of communist ideology and can be found in the writings of Mao Zedong and other prominent Chinese Communists at this web site:

Common prosperity is the assiduous ideal of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, three generations of leadership in the leadership of China’s socialist construction process. How to achieve common prosperity on the road, Mao Zedong common prosperity as a nation the fundamental goal of the ruling; and the common prosperity of an active exploration; development, and beyond the common prosperity of the ideology of Mao Zedong, opened up a rich first, Deng Xiaoping inherited after the rich, the rich get rich first with, and gradually achieve common prosperity; Jiang Zemin adhere to and development of Deng Xiaoping.

[…]

Based on the premise of the Equalization of Opportunities for competition in the market is undoubtedly the inevitable choice of China’s socialist market economy, market-oriented principle of distribution can effectively promote the efficiency of social production, the rational use of social resources to effectively prevent the phenomenon of egalitarianism occur. Market-oriented principle of distribution is often caused by the polarization between the rich and the poor. Socialism differs from capitalism in the system in pursuit of common prosperity of the whole society, necessary for the Government in the process of implementing the principle of market-oriented allocation …

The syntax of the above paragraphs may be a bit garbled as they have been translated to English from Chinese. Another phrase that frequently appears in those writings is “sustainable development”. That phrase is becoming more common in the democrat-socialist lexicon and there are now entire branches of government, from local to federal, devoted to “sustainable development”. My understanding of sustainable development is that it is a scheme whereby government controls natural resources such as raw materials, food, energy and water for distribution to the masses as government sees fit, thereby giving government absolute control over the populace.

    Obama is now fixated on the word “fairy dust”. I would think all the gay libs (and “straight” ones, since most of them sound like, well, less-than-manly sissy girly-men) would be pissed off.


  5. 5 | August 14, 2012 2:18 pm

    Obama wants Prosperity “shared” -- however, he wants the 1% to assume all risk and financial burden for it.

    I would point out to this economic moron that prosperity already IS shared -- successful companies hire more workers, pay better salaries, produce better goods and pay more taxes.

    However, the way Obama sees it, we should all be given shares in Apple (and a free iPad).

    Exactly. 12-14 yr old girls. That accurately describes most libs of either gender. Well, wait, I forgot about the transgendered libs. And bi-sexual libs, so I guess all genders.

    I’m so glad we’re normal here. It’s so much easier to just be male or female, like all normal people.

    Over at Twitter we got a tweet from an NBC hack that said the the Obama Medicare cuts were to the providers and the Advantage plan -- not to the beneficiaries.

    What a dolt -- does he think Medicare pays people like Social Security -- Medical is nothing BUT benefits paid to providers. If you cut the rate of payment, you’re going to have fewer providers and/or reduction in benefits provided to the subscribers.

    What an idiot. So in a hurry to kiss Obama’s ass that he sounds like an idiot.

    Here’s some new liberal nonsense: Here come the “Pansexuals”! These lib degenerates have now coined a new type of, well, something or other.

    Can somebody read this description of what a pansexual supposedly is and explain to us? These libs are really insane.

    What is a pansexual, you ask?

    Though many might describe Gonzalez’s orientation as bisexual, pansexuals don’t believe in a “gender binary,” and hence can be attracted to all gender identities.

    Gonzalez specified to the Voice that she doesn’t believe in a gender binary because “gender identity isn’t the defining part of my attraction,” and that she never fully embraced the term “lesbian.” Although she came out as bisexual at age 21, Gonzalez said she has also dated transgender and “gender-queer” people, in addition to women.

    Gonzalez… continued: “As I started to recognize the gender spectrum and dated along the gender spectrum, I was searching for words that connected to that reality, for words that embraced the spectrum. At the time I didn’t feel as if the term bisexual was encompassing of a gender spectrum that I was dating and attracted to.’

    As Gonzalez defines it, apparently a “pansexual” is attracted to men, women, men who identify as women, women who identify as men, and everything in between, because they don’t recognize “gender binaries.”

    “This is a big victory for Mary, for El Paso and for Texas,” said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund reportedly said. “The people of El Paso will be represented by a talented and committed fighter who knows how to get things done in Austin. And LGBT Texans will be represented by an authentic voice in the Capitol, standing up and speaking out for fairness and freedom for all.”

    Denis Dison, a spokesperson for the Victory Fund, added that there are several bisexual U.S. Representatives and they should “inform the media and others about the term they prefer.”

    “That sort of education is a good thing,” he said.


  48. 49 | August 14, 2012 3:26 pm

    The is way off topic, but I found it an interesting article, perhaps others might as well.

    Hungary Far-Right Leader Discovers Jewish Roots

    BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — As a rising star in Hungary’s far-right Jobbik Party, Csanad Szegedi was notorious for his incendiary comments on Jews: He accused them of “buying up” the country, railed about the “Jewishness” of the political elite and claimed Jews were desecrating national symbols.

    Szegedi, who was raised Presbyterian, acknowledged his Jewish origins in June interviews with Hungarian media, including news broadcaster Hir TV and Barikad, Jobbik’s weekly magazine. He said that after the meeting with Ambrus, he had a long conversation with his grandmother, who spoke about her family’s past as Orthodox Jews.

    “It was then that it dawned on me that my grandmother really is Jewish,” Szegedi told Hir TV. “I asked her how the deportations happened. She was in Auschwitz and Dachau and she was the only survivor in the extended family.”

    Normally the irony alone of an anti-Semite finding out they themselves are Jewish would interest me in the story, but there is more here. The effects of European antisemitism and the Holocaust. There are lot of people with Jewish ancestry who do not know of it, because of efforts of parents or grandparent to survive the Holocaust or Pogroms. Madelin Albright is one.

    I ran into someone at a craft school in North Carolina that I took woodcarving classes at. This is a person on staff who has seen me on occasion. The last time I was there, he saw my last name on my nametag walking past in the mess hall. He grabbed me and pulled me over to a quiet corner, and asked me in a whisper, “Are you Jewish?”.

    He was in his 50s and he just found out that his grandparents on his mother’s side were Jewish. It was a family secret that was kept to protect the children, and he had to drag the admission out of his parents. Through a friend he met a Rabbi who commented that he thought he had a Jewish soul. That conversation highlighted discrepancies in his family history that he tired to have have answered. At first his parent refused to discuss these aspects of the family history. Eventually they broke down and said his grandparents did something to protect the family, but they would not say what. Finally he started asking them if his grandparents were Jewish, and they admitted that their grandparents were Jewish. The emigrated to escape Pogroms in Austria. When they arrived they hid their that they were Jewish and raised their children as Christians for their protection.

    He recognized my surname as Austrian and very close to his own.

    In the case in Hungary, he’s talking to a rabbi. He’s been stripped of his party duties and they want him to give up his seat in the EU parliament (altho they maintain it’s because he attempted to bribe the convict who told him about the documentation, not that he’s part Jewish). In Allen’s case he was -- rightly -- horrified -- that his family was blindsided by WaPo. The Jewish part he was fine with -- the violation pissed off a lot of people.

    In the case of the gentleman of my personal experience, he was filled with wonder and horror at the idea of need to deny who you are and make such a change for the safety of your family.

    As an aside, on my recent trip to New Mexico we visited the Ortega rug factory in Chimayo. The factory had a gift shop with lots of books about the locality. I was surprised at seeing several books about conversos and marranos.

    I had read about crypto-Jews in the region, but I was surprised that this small shop had 15 different books on the subject. It was like they were making a statement there were so many on this subject I had thought obscure.

    Hand in it, it was practically all DARPA. Project Orion was something that like the YB-49, was decades ahead of it’s time and needing high speed computer controlled actuators to achieve and maintain flight characteristic stability.

    The whole reason that Orion was finally scrapped was that no human being could possibly respond fast enough to vibrational issues and the engines kept tearing themselves apart because of harmonic oscillation induced vibrations.

    Those issues were insurmountable back in the late 40′s to mid/late 60′s, but by the mid 80′s could have been solved rather easily. The first LSIC processor the Intel 4004 (which was invented specifically for NASA Apollo Project) didn’t come to market until 1971 if I remember correctly.

    @ doriangrey:
    THE INTEL 4004

    In 1969, Nippon Calculating Machine Corporation requested that Intel design 12 custom chips for its new Busicom 141-PF printing calculator. Instead of creating a dozen custom chips specifically for the calculator, Intel’s engineers proposed a new design: a family of just four chips, including one that could be programmed for use in a variety of products.

    The set of four chips was called the MCS-4. It included a central processing unit (CPU) chip—the 4004, a supporting read-only memory (ROM) chip for the custom applications programs, a random-access memory (RAM) chip for processing data, and a shift-register chip for the input/output (I/O) port. Intel delivered the four chips and Busicom went on to sell some 100,000 calculators.

    Intel offered Busicom a lower price for the chips in return for securing the rights to the microprocessor design and the rights to market it for non-calculator applications, allowing the Intel 4004 microprocessor to be advertised in the November 15, 1971 issue of Electronic News. It’s then that the Intel 4004 became the first general-purpose microprocessor on the market—a “building block” that engineers could purchase and then customize with software to perform different functions in a wide variety of electronic devices.

    “Obama IS a Marxist. That is simply a fact of understanding what words mean.”

    Man, you must really hate having black people in the WHite House to come up with bullcrap like that. Obviously anyone who calls Obama a Marxist is a racist retard that only listens to people Misinterption of the word “Marxist” The racist right throws it around like how black people use the N-Word!

    Obama is no more a Marxist Mr. D’Souza than any elite. Marxism, which Mr. Obama was noted as being one in his Bolshevik orbit years ago, until Mark Levin finally got brave enough to define him as that, is simply the best form of slavery to plunder the world and control the mob.
    If there could be a better form of control at a cheaper method which would not stampede the mob into revolution the cartel would embrace it, and that is what Obama would be.

    Yeah. So, here’s the thing. You’ve proven your stupidity by taking the “You didn’t build that” quote out of context, which means you’re simply a kool-aid drinking clown who doesn’t have the intelligence to recognize when his own interests are being threatened.

    1. Obama is not a Marxist. Marxists believe that workers should have DIRECT ownership of businesses such as factories.

    2. No, Obama is not a Communist. He is supported by huge corporations, the opposite of communism.

    3. A Muslim? No, he doesn’t follow the pillars of Islam. He’s never made the Hajj, said the Shada, he eats during Ramadan, he eats pork, he does not pray five times a day, he does not pray in Muslim fashion, he confesses to be a Christian (which in Islam, makes you not a Muslim), nor does he go to a Mosque. Showing respect to a non-white, non-christian culture DOESN’T make you a memeber.

    How does activating my rights as an American Make me a traitor?No, having a difficult political view from you makes this a democracy, you disgusting Piece of crap!

    That depends. Does ‘Marxist’ mean, ‘a black guy that conservatives don’t like because he is black and has more power than them’? Because if it does, then he must be.

    Obama does not hate America, he wants to change it.

    Calling the POTUS a POS and a fraud seems to the the usual calling call for you right-wing racists and bigots like you!

    The point I’m trying to make is that you hypcortical racists are in NO position to be calling Barack Obama a liar of any kind, when for the last three years he has faced constant, unrelenting, mean-spirited, dishonest criticism since before he took office and every day since. His patriotism has been questioned by every member of the right wing echo chamber especially FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh, every single day he has served. He has been called a socialist, communist, Nazi, Marxist, traitor, foreign, un-American, liar, magic negro, halfrican and worse. He has suffered innumerable lies about his ideology, religion, family and even his place of birth. No other president in the history of this country has faced such unfounded open hostility and disrespect. No other president has ever been called a liar by a member of congress during a State of the Union, no other president has had to show his birth certificate…repeatedly.
