Wearing a red bandana and a Che Guevera T-Shirt autographed by Hugo Chavez, Clinton introduced her “fellow-travelers on the road to American and world socialism.” Her new “comrades” and fellow Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama (sporting a new black beret and dashiki), John Edwards (wearing a vintage Soviet Red Army jacket purchased from a Russian clothier), Bill Richardson (dressed as Fidel Castro and sporting a Cuban cigar), Joe Biden, and Chris Dodd joined her on the stage of a high school auditorium to unveil a new 10-point plan “to overthrow private ownership in the means of production and distribution” and to establish “workers’ control.”


Edwards dried a tear from his eyes as he read a passage from Leon Trotsky’s 1905 pamphlet “Results and Prospects.” Embracing Trotsky’s theory of “permanent revolution,” the former North Carolina Senator confirmed suspicion that his “two Americas” theme of class inequality is inspired by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’ famous 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto.


“I’m not sure there’s all that much difference between the old Democrats and their new ‘Marxist’ packaging,” Kucinich said. “I am their one man Krondstadt Rebellion,” Kucinich added, telling reporters to “read your Soviet history.”

Think ya got me. Looks like the piece I linked was satire, but it's hard to tell for sure with those people over there. Old dave is a jewel, a compendium of self serving illogic.

Where did this come from Chlamor?


An attention to the material conditions of people's lives, and social relations among people

A belief that people's consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects these material conditions and relations

An understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production, and as a particular position within such relations

An understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable

A view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change

A sympathy for the working class or proletariat

And a belief that the ultimate interests of workers best match those of humanity in general
