Interpunction and proper diction are also communist, apparently.
Nevertheless, you haven't quite convinced me that POTUS is a communist; simply saying it over and over again doesn't make it true. Can you tell me, in a more-or-less analytical fashion, why you believe it to be so?
I realise I'm tempting a Godwin here, but a side-by-side comparison of Obama and an actual communist - let's take the path less trodden and go for, oh, say, Trotski this time - would be helpful.
Does it count as a Godwin if I invoke Fascism?
Personally I don't think Obama is a communist per say. I think he is a leftist and would be more aptly described as a fascist.
The caveat there is that most people today don't really understand fascism. Fascism is usually described as ultra-right wing because in its historical forms it was nationalistic. However, Fascism fundamentally is a left-wing movement, not right-wing.
Fascism historically started out as socialist movements which adapted socialism to a kind of crony capitalism which has been called "corporatism" or sometimes "syndaclism". In either case the general idea is that industry does the bidding of the government, and in exchange the government ensures market and capital benefits to industry.
This is essentially what the Obama Administration has done in a number of cases.
Fascism, however, is fundamentally not an economic theory. Fascism is largely utilitarian in economic terms. The real goal of fascism is the creation of totalitarian community. Creating a society in which the rights of the individual are subsumed under the good of the community. The community becomes all important and its needs trump the rights of the individual.
In a sense you could almost say that communism is one form of fascism in which the community is economically defined. While in historic fascism the community was either racially or nationally defined.
Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Write, for example, would fit pretty well into the classic fascist mold because he defined the community primarily by race.
Obama himself has gone for a broader market, probably because he realizes that classical race based fascism could never succeed in the US. As a result he is trying to define the community along a mixture of lines. He still plays somewhat to the economic community in fostering class struggle, and he still plays somewhat to the race community, but ultimately he is trying to re-invent the national community.
If you look down the line at the tactics that have been used by the left in the US and the Obama administration in particular, it is a virtual dictionary of fascist tactics.
However, it is also worthy of note that the fascist movement has been present in america a long time. Teddy Roosevelt had some fascist tendencies and philosophies, as did Woodrow Wilson, and FDR as well.
If anyone is interested in this topic I HIGHLY recommend Jonah Goldberg's excellent book Liberal Fascism. It should be required reading!
PS..
I thought I would add this note. I came to this realization a while ago as I was thinking about this issue. There have been many counterfeit religions and churches down through history. Fascism, and its cousin Communism, are essentially atheism's version of or answer to the Church. They are essentially anti-churches.
We are our own worst enemy.
