"The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion."
"Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution."

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."
"Society does not consist of individuals, but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand."
"Both for the production on a mass scale of this communist consciousness, and for the success of the cause itself, the alteration of men on a mass scale is necessary, an alteration which can only take place in a practical movement, a revolution; this revolution is necessary, therefore, not only because the ruling class cannot be overthrown in any other way, but also because the class overthrowing it can only in a revolution succeed in ridding itself of all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew."
"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
"Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."

If we are to abolish religion, let it be the elitist ignorance and unproved theology of the global warming alarmists. Talk about sinking taxpayer money into a cult!

No..................devout Christian. Remember..............George Stephanopoulos had to remind him. :laugh:
I have to head out to work, but it would be fun to match up modern comments from either Obama, or one of his minions, with each one of those quotes. It would probably be pretty easy.
Scary stuff. They've taken our public schools. Class warfare. Fundamentally remaking America. Removing Christian references from all public places...................................... :sad:
"If you want to take over a country, seize the banks"....Lenin

Class struggle, the proletariat ("the 99%") pitted against the bourgeoisie (evil CEOs and Oil Execs and rich people*) and the redistribution of wealth are central to Marxism. Whether you create the socialist state through revolution or gradual reform you still end up with the same pizza.
*Apparently rich liberals, leftists, Democrats and celebrities (Oprah, Norman Lear, Spielberg, etc.) are not evil as long as they use their money to help elect other rich liberals, leftists and Democrats.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Direct from Das Kapital.
