The Real Socialist Candidate For President

Republicans are fond of calling Barack Obama a Socialist, though he surrounds himself with Wall Street elites and has done huge favors to help the wealthy gather even more money to themselves – a tax cut for billionaires, for example.

socialist presidential candidateThat’s not to say that there’s no such thing as a Socialist candidate for President in the 2012 election. Here’s how you can tell who the Socialist candidate is. Right at the top of his web site, the Socialist candidate greets supporters with a “Welcome Comrades!”

Stewart Alexander is running for the presidential nomination of the Socialist Party USA, which has the Marxist motto, “Workers of the world, unite” incorporated into its logo.

What’s on the Socialist Party USA’s agenda? To each according to need: “We call for social ownership and democratic control of productive resources, for a guarantee to all of the right to participate in societal production, and to a fair share of society’s product, in accordance with individual needs.”

Right wingers, this is what genuine Socialists, Marxists, Communists look like. A Wall Street bailout and half-hearted health care reform are not plausibly put in the same category.

A second note about Stewart Alexander is that he’s also running for the Green Party nomination. There certainly is a Marxist faction of the Green Party of the United States that people on the Right can point to and criticize. Whether that faction is dominant within the Greens is another matter. Let’s keep track of how Mr. Alexander fares in the competition for the 2012 Green nomination, as a measure of Green Marxist power.

    GREAT: Nationalize the banks and have the workers take over the corporations. Put all those “upper class snobs” out of a job and out-source their collective ass to jail! They can join Madoff in whatever work he’s doing now. While we’re at it – shut down the Fed printing presses!

  3. Dear friends, I try as hard as possible to tell people around where I live that The Democratic Party and The Republican Party are political parties that benefit business owners. People have to own a business, in order to benefit from the policies of The Democratic Party and The Republican Party.

    But the majority of americans are workers, and not business owners. That’s why the majority of americans should and must become socialists marxists. Because marxist socialism is the only ideology and political philosophy that exist on this earth that can benefit the majority of people. The other political systems like Monarchy, Feudalism and Republican Capitalism only benefits the business owners and upper classes.

    Socialism the best ideology for the majority of people of the USA right now. So I suggest to support and vote for Stewart Alexander as our next US President in the 2012 Presidential Elections.
