As a communist, I voted for Obama. There was a deep need
within myself to be a part of a historical moment in America. My wife and I
voted for Obama; my children voted for Obama and all of their coworkers and
friends voted for Obama.
Obama's inauguration was breathtakingly wonderful and cause
for millions and millions of people to go to Washington and countless millions
privately celebrating in their homes. What took place for everyone on earth to
witness was the largest political meeting and celebration in American history.
The people of America seem to have embarked on the political journey of a
thousand miles, taking a huge step forward in casting off one of the ugly aspect
of our history. An unparallel discussion of American history and the role of
blacks in shaping our history continues to take place.
Great social-patriotic non-sense. A celebration of U.S. patriotism is a celebration for U.S. slaughter and imperialism. We have seen Obama's kind of inaugral celebration before with Ronald Reagan and JFK. Any person who opposes the slaughter, degradation, and exploitation of people around the world should be frightened by such displays in the U.S.
What is Obama going to change in the U.S. empire? Is he going to dismantle the regional commands? stop supporting Israel in their slaughter of Palestinians? stop the bombing of Pakistan, and withdraw from Afghanistan? stop the continual slaughter of people in countries like Hati and Colombia?
I don't get it. Why would a person who calls herself a communist endorse this celebration of U.S. super-patriotism?
