Yes, just because Marxism is wrong in so many ways, doesn't make every idea a Marxist has, immoral, impractical, or incorrect.
As I point out periodically when the discussion brings such issues up, and argument or idea, isn't right or wrong because of the person who makes/has it.
Maybe if the ONLY thing you have to go by is the fact that the person presenting the idea is a Marxist, and you have to make a decision now, the best guess might be to say "no", but its better to actually evaluate the idea independently of the person.
Beyond that as much as I disagree with his ideas, I don't think Obama really is a Marxist. A statist? Sure. Taking a step towards marxism (and/or corporatism/fascist economics)? IMO yes. But making "a step towards", isn't completing the journey, or even necessarily indicative of wanting to complete the journey. |
