Did Obama ever come close to implementing Marxism as some had feared?
So, does anyone Moderator cut: flaming really think Obama was going to shove Marxism down the throats of the GOP congress he faced for 6 years?

Putting people to work was the New Deal . Obama was the job killer and hindered the economy but spent millions to advertise to go get your food stamps.

Old Gringo speaks the truth. People may ask how I know this. Well, I have lived in Texas, and now I don't. It's that simple. "Marxism" is a bogeyman that people drag out when they do not understand anything about economics.

"Hindered the economy?" "Spent millions to advertise to go get your food stamps?" Really? Can you back up this assertion with any actual, verifiable facts, or is this something you heard on Rush Limbaugh?
What do you mean by "implementing Marxism?" Marxism is a system in which the government, rather than private parties, owns the means of production. I didn't see any evidence of that happening from 2009-2017. Obama did try to reform health care, which could be interpreted as a socialist policy, but once the bill went through the Senate and House, they made so many changes and compromises that it is very different from the plan that Obama had in mind.
I could make an argument for Fabian Socialist--but Marxist/ No..I don't think so.

Marxist is a dirty word reserved for people that extreme conservatives dislike. It doesn’t really mean “Marxism”. It’s like they called women they didn’t like “witches”. She wasn’t really a witch, but it sounds good. There is also overlap between “communists” and “liberals” despite being fundamentally different.
