I’ve studied and mastered the Marxist classics for 40 years, subscribing to them as valid without pseudo-Marxist admixture or eclectics. I’m pro-Soviet , by which I adhere to the principles of Engels , Marx and Lenin more than the vast majority of the eclectic “Marxists” I’ve run across and debated , especially on the internet .
The anti-Democratic Party ultra-left dogma is obsolete now ; it had some original validity in the late 40’s through the 60’s , but is obsolete now as it is blind to the fascist elephant in the room that the Republican Party has become , and to the beginning of resistance to Reaganism that Obamaism is . ( Reaganism is a better term than neo-liberalism . ) I

//////:/:::://///////::::::::////////:///////////////// RESPONSE TO : What are leftists' thoughts or concerns about Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals?' "The only people who pay attention to that book anymore are right wingers who are mistakenly trying to show that Alinsky influenced people they imagine to be left-wingers (Obama and Hilary Clinton are not left wingers), and they're really Marxist because of that. It was a thing, once upon a time, along time ago, but in more than 40 years on the hard left, I have never actually met an Alinskyite." //////////////////////////////////.////////////// DEBATE ON OBAMAISM

Charles Brown The caption should be " I know you wanted to cut it off at your neck,but I'm trying to compromise with you and just cut off your leg", cause of all the dumbasses like the guy in the guillotine who voted the Republicans in as the majority in the House of Representatives. 31 minutes ago · Edited · Like · 2

Charles Brown It is important to note a fundamental principle of American civics. You cannot do some things as President if the House of Representative majority is willing to go nuts in refusing to pass things. All along there has been this left criticism of Obama that ignores this iron rule. The President doesn't have the power that many blithely attribute to Obama in claiming he should "get tough", "talk tough" ," not compromise". Obama can't "not compromise" and just pass a budget etc. No House pass; no budget in America. See the Constitution. 13 minutes ago · Like · 1
Robert Routh I've heard of the Constitution. Compromise is NOT giving the store away while the other side gives nothing. We've seen that they won't even "compromise" when we do offer the store. Let's not. Some day they might get drunk(er) and take it. 10 minutes ago · Like · 1
Charles Brown Obama's proposal is not "giving the store away" by the way. We are a long way from privatizing Social Security. That's another flaw in left criticism of Obama, exaggeration. 9 minutes ago · Like · 1
Robert Routh Give an inch, they take a mile. We're being nibbled to death-sometimes by crocodiles, sometimes by ducks but always nibbled. I don't know what you stand for. I voted for the man, twice. I would again. But I'm not willing to give him a blank check. 7 minutes ago · Like
Charles Brown However, it is good for the left to raise this protest. It can give Obama a basis to back off of it, say the Republicans have refused to accept this so I take it off of the table. Paradoxically, the left should protest and oppose Obama on this. He needs that pressure in the negotiations. and they really aren't negotiations, because the Republicans want to wreck the economy and hurt the working class. So, they like the result of the cuts that have automatically taken place ,Sequester , etc. 6 minutes ago · Edited · Like

Charles Brown I stand for the 99%. I am to the left of Obama, but I support Obama as his election( though not his whole program; he has a terrible position on education; Monsanto seems to have infected him, et.al.) represents the realization of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, to some extent, which new national majority is the great hope of our political future. Obama is a liberal, especially relative to the current tea Republicans who are proto-fascists. My exact political program could not win electoral majorities in current America. Maybe in the future if we succeed in reversing 30 years of Reaganism, in which reversing Obama's successful "Rainbow Coalition" is a first step. a few seconds ago · Like
