The Obama - "Pope" Axis of Marxism By: Cliff Kincaid NOTE: TradCatKnight does not hold Francis as Pope but Benedict XVI
The Washington Post is a die-hard Democratic Party newspaper that occasionally recognizes Obama’s drift into Marxism. The December 19th editorial on Cuba is a case in point. Not only does the Post understand the nature of Obama’s betrayal of a free Cuba, it is beginning to wake up to the failures of bipartisan policies that have built communist Chinese economic power in the name of Capitalism and reform.
The paper says that Obama “should have learned and applied some of the hard lessons of normalization with China and Vietnam – most notably that engagement doesn’t automatically promote freedom. When the United States debated extending ‘most-favored-nation’ trading status to China, we shared in what was then the conventional wisdom: Economic engagement would inevitably lead, over time, to political reform inside that communist dictatorship.”
Obama lends strength to the Chinese communist regime The paper goes on to admit it was duped. But, Obama should know better, shouldn’t he? The Post notes that the Chinese regime has been strengthened, not weakened, by policies of “engagement.” The Chinese communists “were determined to reap the fruits of foreign investment and trade – for themselves and their families, first, but also for their country – without ceding power. So far, confounding expectations, they have succeeded,” the paper commented.
