Is the actual Democratic Party Marxist? Not even close. Some of its members? I think so...let’s look at a few.
Barack Obama, is in my opinion, just left of center-left. He is in no way a socialist, but does have elements of it in his ideology. His ideology is certainly rooted in it. And just like I once experimented with white nationalism, he had experimented with radical leftism. For example, his involvement with the New Party back in the ‘90s.
Obama’s father was an economist and aide to former Mau-Mau leader, and Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta, the leader of the Kenya African National Union, which at the time was your run of the mill African socialist party. Due to his fathers experiences, and evidenced by his treatment of the UK, Kenya’s former colonial oppressor, I believe Obama does have a resentment towards British people, and possibly whites in general, though that is often the excuse of white racist who hate him as much as they think he hates them. Not a single one of his policies prove this theory.
Obama clearly has his views rooted in African anti colonialist philosophy, which was often mixed in with socialism. However, as Obama rose in rank, he has realized that socialism is not popular in America, and has likely recognized that “African Socialism” is not really socialism at all. Is he, as of today, a Socialist? Absolutely not.
