President Obama has stoked controversy after he suggested to an audience of Argentinian youth that there was no great difference between communism and capitalism and that they should just “choose from what works”.
Obama went on to praise Cuba’s socialist system under dictator Raúl Castro, touting the country’s free access to basic education and health care, although he acknowledged that Havana itself “looks like it did in the 1950s” because the economy is “not working”.
Obama concluded his comments by arguing that a market-based system “has to have a social and moral and ethical and community basis”.
Reaction to the remarks wasn’t pretty.
“This man is so destructive, so harmful and so ignorant,” wrote Jim Hoft.
“The Marxist in the White House is erasing the lines between two dangerous ideologies and the one that made the US great, just as he erased our borders. This is a man who would be at home in communist China,” chided the Independent Sentinel.

The economy in Cuba and for that matter, any country that has ever experimented with Socialism, doesn’t work because Socialism in any guise can never work.
And because it can not be made to work and because the leaders who promote it dare not admit they were wrong, they always have to resort to increasing repression to keep their unhappy citizens from revolting.
One thing inevitably leads to the other. There is no escaping that fact.
And while Marxism can be described as a theory because it’s contrived, there is nothing theoretical about an economic system that was considered the natural order of things thousands of years before Marx decided to apply a name to it: Capitalism.
Marxism is effectively a godless religion. It’s entirely faith based. It’s adherents believe without reason that “this time the outcome will be different.” But it never is.
Their god is some mythical ‘Great Provider’ who promises a free lunch without consequence. It’s sacraments are hate and envy. And it’s saints are guys like Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao and that fat little yapping dog in North Korea.
Obama wants you to believe that government can be both ‘fiscally conservative’ and ‘socially liberal’. That’s impossible, they are contradictory concepts and there is no happy medium, no magical balancing act that can make both work in unison.
You can not create prosperity through taxation. You can not be free by chaining yourself to a millstone and there is no happy middle ground, no matter how long that chain may be. You will forever be a captive.
