cognitive bias in that statement shows up regularly not just with Marxists but with other disapproved classes of people such as atheists or gays or Yankee fans

Yankee fans and gays didn't build the Gulag and didn't kill millions of people. They didn't build an aggressive expansionist empire which endangered the very survival of the world for decades -- while enslaving and abusing their own people, and doing the same to everyone else they could get their hands on.

Marxists are totalitarian elitist by their very nature. They are also genuinely concerned about the "wellbeing" of everyone else - using THEIR understanding of the concept.

Is Obama a marxist? I don't know. If he is, he is probably not a mature, "conscious" Marxist. In any case, steps towards larger government - and it's more ubiquitous involvement in our lives - lead in the direction of marxism -- and away from the ideals on which America was founded.... and which are the reason for our success as a nation.
