Dear imbeciles who don't actually know anything about Communism:
Communists hate Obama probably more than you do.
Let's look at those 10 'conditions for transition to communism':
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
No one in politics in the US advocates this, except perhaps Bernie Sanders.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
I'm pretty sure that Marx didn't mean that the highest marginal tax rate was 35%. Far more likely is that he meant a rate more similar to what the US had during the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, with the highest marginal rate at 70%+. Needless to say, no politicians in the US advocate such a thing.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
No politician in the US advocates such a thing.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
No politician in the US advocates such a thing.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
A single, monopolistic national bank? No politician in the US advocates such a thing (again, except perhaps Bernie Sanders, and I haven't heard even him suggest it)
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
Regulation != absolute control, so again, no politician in the US advocates such a thing. Although, ironically, Republicans advocate something closer to absolute control over these than the Democratic party does.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
No politician in the US advocates such a thing, unfortunately.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
No politician in the US advocates such a thing.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
Although I have pointed out that no politician in the US advocated any of the previous 8 points, their failure to advocate for those pales in comparison to their failure to advocate for this.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Well, admittedly, Obama does support this one. But then, so does nearly every politician in the US, and this has been true for more than a century (since it was implemented, basically).
So, the only 1 of the 10 points Obama (or any democrat, for that matter) supports is the one that's universally popular and has been implemented in the US (and every other first world country) for a century or so, and has also been implemented in most of the second world without any controversy.
Boy, it makes perfect sense that communists would support Obama, since he doesn't have any intention of advancing their aims. People often support politicians who disagree with them on nearly every issue, don't they?
