Obama: the Communist Party’s candidate of choice
When you see those Obama signs saying “Change,” do you ever stop to wonder what the end result of that change will be? Well, wonder no longer, comrade. Just check out what the Communist Party USA has to say about Obama’s candidacy. (h/t: Spion)
A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda.
This diverse movement combines a variety of political currents and aims in a working coalition that is crucial to social progress at this point. At the core are America’s working families, of all hues and ethnicities, whose determination to move forward does not depend on, and will not be diverted by, the daily twists and turns of this watershed presidential campaign. They are taking the long view.
…
If Obama’s candidacy represented nothing more than the spark for this profound initiative to unite the working class and defeat the pernicious influence of racism, it would be a transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long term.
The struggle to defeat the ultra-right and turn our country on a positive path will not end with Obama’s election. But that step will shift the ground for successful struggles going forward.
One thing is clear. None of the people’s struggles – from peace to universal health care to an economy that puts Main Street before Wall Street – will advance if McCain wins in November.
Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.
Calling Obama a socialist is not hyperbole. LGF even points out that Obama’s own official campaign blog site features a nice section for The Socialist Party complete with Leon Trotsky’s picture and quote. Hey, Trotsky was all about change, too! (In all fairness, there are no postings there yet so I have no idea whether the page is authentic)
Still, if you’re supporting a candidate who is proposing policy which fits the communist ideology enough to earn their enthusiastic endorsement, you really need to take a step back and consider what you’re doing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you’d really rather live in a Marxist “utopia,” there are already several from which to choose. I’m quite sure Venezuela, Cuba, China, or North Korea would love to have you.

UPDATE: Nice Deb has compiled a pretty long list of Marxists, Socialists, and Communists who wholeheartedly support the Obamessiah for his big government, wealth-confiscation-and-redistribution ideals.
UPDATE: More proof of Obama’s popularity among Marxists, as evidenced by the Marxist/Socialists/Communists for Obama page on his own website.
