Obama: Forget The Difference Between Capitalism And Communism, “Just Decide What Works” | Video | RealClearPolitics

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I guess to make a broader point, so often in the past there's been a sharp division between left and right, between capitalist and communist or socialist. And especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate, right? Oh, you know, you're a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you're some crazy…

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I guess to make a broader point, so often in the past there's been a sharp division between left and right, between capitalist and communist or socialist. And especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate, right? Oh, you know, you're a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you're some crazy communist that's going to take away everybody's property. And I mean, those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory — you should just decide what works.

The 95,000 Americans who died to stop the spread of Communism would sure be surprised to learn it was all just an interesting intellectual discussion.

Jesus, I cannot believe we're actually faced with the prospect of an admitted socialist being a nominee from President.

What the hell is going on?

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.
    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    Also…. WE KNOW WHAT WORKS. We have a century of experience!
    We know that Communism leads to impoverishment, famine, enslavement, and genocide (see: the USSR, PRC, North Korea, Cuba, etc.).
    If we are going to be “practical” and “go with what works”, then WE WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER CHOOSE COMMUNISM.

    In the carboniferous epoch, we were promised abundance for all,
    By robbing the selected Peter to pay the collective Paul,
    And though there was plenty of money, there was nothing for money to buy,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, said ‘If you don’t work, you die’.
    …And when all of this is accomplished, and the Brave New World begins,
    Where all men are paid for existing, and no man must pay for his sins,
    As surely as water will wet us, as surely as fire will burn,
    The Gods of the Copybook Headings, with terror and slaughter, return!
