He had to refefine it as a "system" so that he could tear it down and supplant it with his evil system. Meanwhile the national disgrace and follower of Marx in the White House could not be bothered to attend the ceremonies in Berlin. Going to Berlin to praise himself is a top priority, going to Berlin to commemorate one of the greatest moments of the 20th century, that was due in large part to the success of a man and an ideology he opposes is something he could not do. Even in his taped lip-service, Obama couldn't even bring himself to mention Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul, Helmut Kohl, not even GHWB. Instead he paid homage to JFK and so extremely inappropriately, to himself. All politics, ALL the time. Meanwhile, liberals on University campuses are shutting down free speech commemorating the destruction of the wall with demonstrations to point out the brutal history of socialism in the 20th century. The left is on the march, and feelin strong! “Capitalism” is nothing but the name Marx invented for the free market — for economic freedom.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, by government force" - There's nothing noble about that. It's a blatant recipe for slavery.

This sounds familiar. I just can't place it. Who does this resemble in our times? It is on the tip of my tongue.....
