No (sane), but the people around him in the past have some questionable ties. Obama is not a Marxist, he is a big city tax-and-spend liberal who likes to spend money on ineffective programs and is too afraid to discuss national security. Those are the only things I disagree with him.

No. (Sane). He's on the far left end of capitalism, free markets with heavy regulation and redistribution.

I think he is at heart (look at the past ties), but has restrained himself from his true beliefs while president

Methinks you don't know what Marxism is.

His public views flirt with Marxism (class warfare, collective vs. individual rights, individual vs. state responsibility, etc.) but stop short of it. I will continue to call him a Marxist, though.

I think, you know a lot less about Marxism than you know about Zulu grammar.

Everybody, who answers "yes" acknowledges not only that they not only know nothing about a) Obama and b) Marxism but also that they do not want to know.

Is Trump a Nazi?

I think he is at heart (look at his current ties), but he has "restrained" himself from his true beliefs while on the campaign trail.

No, he has some Democratic Socialist leanings but they're buried in a fairly standard authoritiarian big-government liberal mindset.

Are there any politicians who are neither a capitalist/neo-liberal or any form of socialist?

Huh? When did Obama advocate abolishing the state? Not something I'd expect from a US President, you're gonna have to back this up.

I think he's referring to the young liberal technocrats - drawn largely from elite universities and quite often from upper-middle class backgrounds - who dominate the Obama administration, which clearly demonstrates how far the dictatorship of the proletariat has already come in taking over the US government.

And yes, the responsibilities of the President and the federal bureaucracy have grown under Obama's Presidency, just like how they grew under noted Marxists Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

You could probably ask if Obama is anything unpopular, and get a significant number of people to say yes.

"Is Obama the devil?"

"Is Obama a sith lord?"

"Is Obama a Disney villain?"

"Is Obama responsible for Hodor's death?"

I might hate political theory, but Americans need a serious dose of understanding what these terms actually mean.

I mean, even one of our resident c*****s, knows Obama isn't a Marxist, but will still call him because it's the more shrill approach.
