I heard that Obama resents being called a marxist, but that's exactly
what he stands for, the central tenet of marxism:

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
- Karl Marx

Marxism advocates taking from the people who have, and giving to the
people who have not, also known as "redistributing the wealth". Sound 
familiar?

"I just want to spread the wealth around." - Barack Obama

The problem is that after you do that for awhile, no one has anything.
( Except the ruling elite, of course. )

All incentives are taken away from those who have, to produce. Why
should they, when it gets taken away and given to people who didn't earn 
it?!

Once people find out that they can vote themselves money out of other
peoples' pockets, it becomes a big free-for-all.

"We have allowed our constitutional republic to deteriorate into a
virtually unchecked direct democracy. 

Today's political process is nothing more than a street fight between
various groups seeking to vote themselves other people's money.  ( and, 
I think, freedoms ) Individual voters tend to support the candidate 
that promises them the most federal loot in whatever form, rather than
the candidate who will uphold the rule of law." --Rep. Ron Paul

Much of the world has already learned this lesson the hard way.
Remaining examples are Cuba and North Korea. Look at a satellite picture 
at night, showing the difference between North Korea and South Korea 
and the difference is starkly illustrated. North Korea is dark, as in
"the dark ages".

So yes, if Obama is to be seen as the "Messiah", he should be seen as
the "Marxist Messiah", because much of the world has already learned the 
lesson that marxism only creates equal poverty for everyone but 
the ruling elite. Only Americans haven't yet learned that lesson. 

Do we need Barack Obama and a Democratic-controlled congress to teach
it to us?

Think about that.
