How does Barack Obama's social theory differ from that of Marx and Engels?

It doesn't. Black Liberation Theology, the cult philosophy espoused by his Church, is essentially Marxism larded with a little religion. The only significant difference is that they put in a twist of racial hatred for some extra kick.

According to The Washington Post, Wright translated the Bible into lessons about, among other things, the misguided pursuit of ‘middle-classness.'

Edit: Contrary to the assertion of Rousseau, a screen name that is an insult to the man himself, the phrase ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ first appeared in a series of articles by Marx, later titled The Class Struggles in France 1848-1850. They were published in what was then Marx’s own London magazine.

He should avail himself of the opportunity to attend political science classes at his local community college before he labels others as "idiots."

Further Edit for Pepe: The debt did not decrease under Bill Clinton. The surpluses that appeared during the Presidency of Bill Clinton were projected by the CBO years before Clinton became President. The CBO projections were used by Ross Perot in his charts explaining how the govenment would run surpluses for 5 or 6 years before they went back to deficits. The surpluses under Clinton were Social Security surpluses and both he and Congress spent every cent of them. Without those big surpluses, the debt would have continued to grow under Bill Clinton and in fact did, since the Social Security surpluses will need to be repayed.

Not even close. Marx and Engels have their theory. I don't know what is Obama's theory other than the vacant speech.At least, M & E's theory kepts certain countries running for a while. I don't know how Mao from China can use " Yes we can" to establish P. R China.

I had that book with the green cover from the sixties. The communist manefesto. I think we don't know enough about Obama to make that determination. McCarthyism is the antithesis. Is Obama the change we need? Obama is like a juicy hamburger on a television screen. It is an image of a juicy hamburger but when you try to take a bite you get nothing but television screen in your teeth.

Big Big difference. Read Marx's book "Das Kapital".

Actually Bush /Cheney/ Reagan/ Bush Sr. ran the biggest deficits this country has ever seen by imposing dictatorial fiscal policies . Reagan gave us 18%-22% interrest rates. Reagan spent our finances recklessly in order to bring the Soviet Empire down with Gorbachev's help. Reagan's doctrine worked for a few years. Putin has rebuilt Russia, and Russia is re emerging as a SuperPower Economically and their Millitary is regaining it's former status, just a few years after Reagan declared them dead.We are now involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan with borrowed money from China, Brazil, and yes Russia. Bush/Cheney/Reagan Trickle down economics are failing , Bush has increased a Debt of $ 5Trillion to $11 Trillion in 7Yrs. our worst ever.

Reagan increased our national debt from $2Trillion(under Carter) to $ 7 Trillion , Bill Clinton managed to reduce our National debt to $5 Trillion.I submit to you that the real Bolchevicks are the Reaganites neo-cons.

The most obvious is that he is willing to compromise on social reforms. Marxists don't give money to lower income people or support labor unions. Marxist theory states that the natural evolution should be where the upper class devours the middle and lower classes. If one supports relief, it is just delaying the inevitable.

EVERYONE knows that Obama supports Black Liberation Theology which is predicated upon Marxism & advances ONLY Black causes to the exclusion of ALL other races.

Marx and Engels classified by classes. Obama holds the same views, but classifies by race.

I think he is a nihilist first so he follows Nietzsche. The other theories fit with this philosophy nicely.

Yup I completely agree! My brother is currently writing a letter to the editor of our local paper stating exactly that.

From each according to his abilities and to each according to his needs? No difference. Obama will determine the abilities and needs.
