@Camile.Bidan / Princepality of Zeon, what is your definition of Socialism?
Nationalizing the means of production, and nationalizing the distribution of economic resources.
Obama explained that he was attracted to Marxists in his book "dreams of my father". He was fan of alinksy and Trotsky. He attended socialist conferences in college.
He is a socialist and that's fine by me. This is a free country. there's nothing wrong with believing in a well intentioned theory.
That was the young Obama, and that's really all we have on him. What does Obama believe now? I don't know. He too much of a politician to really let his feelings out, and just let his corporate donors push him around. I look at the last 8 years and it wasn't really any different than the 8 years that preceded it.
He had a socialist history and when that got exposed. People protested.
After a few years of his policy, people wised up that he was just Bush 2.0. The socialist accusations stopped then
