Communist Party: Obama‘s Reelection is ’Absolutely Essential’

For reasons we at the Blaze have never fully found persuasive, it has long been considered bad form to accuse President Obama of communist or socialist sympathies, even in the most roundabout way.

Yet what happens when the communists themselves sympathize with him? We have not yet been handed our official protocol on that from the mainstream media. Whatever shall we do?

In this case, most likely laugh after we’ve silenced the feeling of queasiness brought about by this story. You see, while President Obama doesn’t claim to be a communist, certainly communists seem to be in a hurry to get him reelected. John Case, a writer at People’s World, one of the official web organs of the Communist Party, has made precisely that case. You may be surprised to learn that his reasoning is, though, the reverse of Glenn Beck’s reasoning for supporting Mitt Romney. To quote Beck on Romney, “At least he’s not a commy.”

In short: We can’t vote for Romney because he’s not a commy.

For the actual communists, that seems to be the main sticking point. Consider these quotes from Case’s article:

But the right-wing aim to divide and conquer was pervasive. They aimed to exploit any possible difference between private sector workers and public workers, people with and people without pensions, people in the cities and people in rural areas, people in unions and people not in unions and even between firefighters and police on the one hand and the rest of the public workers on the other. These divisions and a Democratic Party in Wisconsin not fully agreeing to focus on what triggered the recall in the first place – the attack on collective bargaining rights – resulted in a situation where Walker was able to define the main issue not as his attempt to kill unions but as whether it was fair or unfair to overturn his election before he had a chance to complete his first term. While the right-wing spendfest sharpened the message of the Republicans it made some Democrats wary of taking the kind of strong stands needed to move working people suffering during the current economic crisis.[...]

Labor and progressive forces must double-down on unity to prevent a national Walker-like regime from seizing power. The basis of that unity is partially revealed in the Krugman and Stiglitz books: understand the “paradox of thrift” – if an individual is in debt, they must cut expenses, but if a government – meaning ALL of us – is in debt, in a depression, cutting expenses, which means cutting more jobs, only get you deeper in debt, and deeper in depression.[...]

Every Republican governor is trying to do to the African-American and Latino vote what Walker has done to labor rights in Wisconsin: repress and suppress it by any means necessary. Defense is more divided this time, but energy and ag-biz and real estate are all Romney, and are pledging a billion dollar fund to defeat Obama.[...]

Re-electing Obama is not sufficient to bring economic recovery or even relief to our people. Only a different class configuration in political power can do necessary minimum reforms to give us a chance. But re-electing Obama is absolutely essential. Now is not the time for hand washing the complexities and tactics away – or failing to triage the most critical questions from those that are less critical. We cannot win everything at once!

[Emphasis added]

We hasten to note that this last sentence — “we cannot win everything at once” — apparently suggests that the Communist Party USA has finally transitioned away from its old “revolution” model to one based on “evolution,” meaning that, to again channel Glenn Beck, they now have become progressives.

Which, come to think of it, puts them in the same camp as President Obama, after all.

    A great book on how the communists have taken over our institutions – churches, schools, businesses, government and Military is – The Naked Truth: The Naked Communist – Revisited
    by James C. Bowers

    http://www.amazon.com/The-Naked-Truth-Communist-Revisited/dp/093616316X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339153878&sr=8-1

    He discusses how W. Cleon Skousen ( author of the 5000 Year Leap ) was an FBI agent for 16 years and was concerned about the implementation of what he felt were the top 45 stated goals of the communists at that time. You will be shocked how successfully their plans have been completed. A MUST READ book for any freedom loving American. Please pass on to others when done reading – SPREAD THE WORD

    Also – A MUST SEE – watch the youtube video of Yuri Bezmenov, from the 80′s with G. Edward Griffin ( Jekyll Island author ). A Soviet KGB defector, he tells how it was his job to infiltrate these institutions and place communist supporters in positions of leadership and power. He was successful in doing so. Mind boggling stuff.

      What do you think that the Federal Reserve is? Romney and Obama are their boys..Romney is financed by the banking cartels whose boss is the Federal Reserve. and Mormons showed support for Obama in 2008.
      I saw a group of their young missionary men at an event in our city endorsing Obama.. http://oregoncommentator.com/2008/10/22/even-the-mormon-press-is-endorsing-obama/
      A friend told me before the 2008 elections..Obama can get us good deals on our oil..Look at what he is doing..he is giving our oil reserves to Russia and he is seizing Russian assets which is suggesting a war with Russia,,maybe that is why he is giving them our oil reseves..either way..it ensures our continued purchase of oil from Arab countries. http://www.worldnewstribune.com/2012/02/20/obama-state-department-set-to-cede-oil-rich-alaska-islands-to-russia/

      ASHES

      your full of it. Mormons did NOT support Obama, individuals did. One look at the 2008 elections stats for Utah would show you that. Besides, the LDS Church is pretty explicit, and emphatic, is it’s political neutrality, including policies regarding it young missionaries. If those young people were at at a gathering, it is WAY more likely they were there by happenstance, not as “official representatives” of their church – they are expressly forbidden to do that!

      And your link? What are you trying to pull? This mentions how The Salt Lake Tribune was for Obama. Big surprise! That publication is, and always has been, anti-Mormon, as anyone from Utah would attest to. So come on already!! Give us all a break

    It is scary when folks that depend on the government handouts, like the SEIU, folks on foodstamps,SSI, housing allowance, WIC, medicaid have the same rights to vote as those supporting them. Once the takers outnumber the providers we are in deep trouble. Just another reason the healthcare bill and everything in it must go down as it builds more dependency and is just a short step to single pay as it was designed to be.

    Stupid commies – Walker repressed and suppressed labor rights by NOT firing a single person, and turned a budget deficit into a surplus.

      And Walker now has a budget surplus. The problem is the unions do not have access to the money and so he is a bad man. As for the whole commie/Obama tie, anti American is not American and needs to be extracacted from our country. No tolerance for hyphenated Americans, just like the so called tolerance the left espouses until they are held to the standard. Left tolerance = intolerance for any other view.

    In 1995 Obama signed a contract with the New Party. The Chicago Democratic Socialists of America’s website describes the New Party as a Rainbow Coalition consisting of a “strong presence” of CoC members. CoC is an abbreviation for Committees of Correspondence which is a communist organization. Obama signed a contract with a political party having a “strong presence” of communist members.

      Committees of Correspondence

      “We are people of all races and national backgrounds who are committed to the struggle for democracy and socialism. Our name is taken from the history of the U.S. revolutionary war against British colonialism. In the 1770s, Committees of Correspondence were formed in all 13 colonies and became the catalyst for united action against British oppression. We, too, seek united action among all who feel the brunt of oppression in the U.S. And we believe that our Committees of Correspondence will, as before, be a catalyst for change. Our members are activists in all the social movements of our country – of labor, civil rights, immigrant rights, women, peace, international solidarity, gay and lesbian rights, environment, youth and students, seniors, and religion. We have come together to help shape a clear cut alternative to the destructive, mean-spirited corporate drive for profit above all else. We seek constructive solutions to the problems of poverty and unemployment, racism, sexism, health, education, and housing.”

It’s hard to put the genie back in the bottle. I saw a poll about 2 years ago where 16-30 year old’s thought that socialism was equal to or better than capitalism.
