Benj says Obama is not a Marxist, but Benj is himself a Marxist. I believe Obama is a Marxist as well; he hangs around with Marxists like William Ayers, Alice Palmer, Bernadine Dohrn and Frank Marshall Davis.

“A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.” Karl Marx

“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.” Karl Marx

“I declared to them point-blank: we have received our mandate as the representatives of the proletarian party from no one but ourselves.” Karl Marx

“The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property” Karl Marx

“In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend.” Karl Marx

“You must, therefore, confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.” Karl Marx

“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state… Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property” Karl Marx

“If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class; if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally…” Karl Marx

“In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things. In all these movements, they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.” Karl Marx

“The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution.” Karl Marx

“Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.” Karl Marx

“The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.” Karl Marx

“Religion is the opium of the masses.” Karl Marx

“Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain….The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital. Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.” Karl Marx

“The bourgeois sees his wife a mere instrument of production.” Karl Marx

“The charges against communism made from a religious, a philosophical and, generally, from an ideological standpoint, are not deserving of serious examination…. let us have done with the bourgeois objections to communism.” Karl Marx

“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.” Karl Marx
