Allen West on Obama’s Arrogant Marxist Ideology

December 12, 2012 09:38

The plain and simple truth is that Obama is a Marxist. He told us in the campaign that he wanted to ‘spread the wealth around’. He sat at the feet of avowed Marxist Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and claimed him as a mentor. He had a self proclaimed communist revolutionary on his White House staff as a ‘Green Jobs’ czar in Van Jones. In his own book Obama states that he sought out ‘The Marxist Professors’ in college and points out that he ‘went to socialist conferences’.

Obama is a socialist. Merriam-Webster defines socialism as “any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or government ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” A socialist is “one who advocates or practices socialism.

He’s telling the truth when he says that he doesn’t agree with Bill Ayers’ violent bombing tactics, but it’s a tactical disagreement. Why use dynamite when mass media and community organizing work so much better?

So here is the playbook: The left will identify, freeze, personalize and polarize an industry, probably health care. It will attempt to nationalize one-fifth of the U.S. economy through legislative action. They will focus, as Lenin did, on the “commanding heights” of the economy, not the little guy.

Every major bill Obama supports is a transfer of wealth. They either take directly from those who have money and give it to others or he uses deficit spending to force future generations to pay it. As Alan Greenspan said “Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth.”

Obama and his Socialist Democrats know this.

We have a president who promised a plan that would ‘skyrocket’ electricity rates, and uses the EPA that bases its illegal and tyrannical power grab on fraudulent data and suppressed any dissent to push his agenda, and an administration that is collectively working to ruin the oil, steel, coal, and cement industries. An administration that ignores the will of the people and its congress and seems to be doing all it can to destroy jobs and the economy while promising to make jobs and economic growth its first priority.

Just look at the ideologues Obama chooses as his advisers. His cabinets are pushing “environmental justice” as a scheme for redistributing wealth. His energy secretary Steven Chu is on the record as having said we need higher gas prices like those in Europe. Obama warned us during his 2008 campaign that “under my plan electricity rates will necessarily have to skyrocket.” Obama hired an anti-commerce commerce secretary in John Bryson.

Saying “We haven’t heard this kind of talk except from pure socialists” Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn railed against Obama’s redistributionist anti-business policies. Wynn, a Democrat, says:

“But I’m afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. I’m saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. Well this is Obama’s deal, and it’s Obama that’s responsible for this fear in America. The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution, and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest or holding too much money. We haven’t heard this kind of talk except from pure socialists”

This is collectivism also known as Marxism. All income belongs to the group, the collective to be redistributed as the government determines what is “fair.” This was Obama’s purpose in spending so much. His argument now is that we must tax (take more) to pay for the spending he has done.

Obama has surrounded himself with Socialists, Marxists and Communists. Yes it sounds extreme but consider:

Anita Dunn former White House interim communications director and chief Fox-basher who praised communist China’s revolutionary murderer Mao as one of her two favorite political philosophers. Or Bill Ayers early Obama friend, political supporter and unrepentant domestic terrorist who coauthored the Weather Underground Manifesto. Author Stanley Kurtz exposed the influence of Bill Ayers in the political development of Barack Obama.

And can we really believe that Obama was unaware of the Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree?

His appointments reflect his socialist Marxist ideology. His science czar, Holdren, and his recent appointment to Medicare & Medicaid, Berwick have both espoused beliefs in the ‘spread the wealth’ philosophy which is Marxism. Marxism is inherently anti-business.

The plain and simple truth is that Obama is a Marxist. He told us in the campaign that he wanted to ‘spread the wealth around’. He sat at the feet of avowed Marxist Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and claimed him as a mentor. He had a self proclaimed communist revolutionary on his White House staff as a ‘Green Jobs’ czar in Van Jones. In his own book Obama states that he sought out ‘The Marxist Professors’ in college and points out that he ‘went to socialist conferences’.

To Obama and his leftover sixties hippie advisers who have spent their entire lives either in the shelter of government or in quasi governmental academia, business is evil and the manifestation of all that is wrong with capitalism.

Obama’s idea of taxation is ideological not revenue. In his campaign he noted that he wanted to raise capital gains tax to be “fair” even if it meant LESS tax revenue.
