Another round of applause for the bourgeoisie! Hip Hip Hoorah! As Lenin made clear, the bourgeoise were the first to realize class and class struggle. Nothing the bourgeoisie says is "significant" as it relates to the interests of the working class. The bourgeoisie is the bourgeoisie is the bourgeoisie! This astute realization of Melvins that Obama appears more progressive than Bush is nothing but an illusion and propaganda ploy. Both Bush and Obama serve the interests of the ruling class and capital, therefore, neither can or will serve the interests of the working class no matter how slick Obama makes himself appear with the help of the bourgeois propagandists and spin-masters! This is nothing more than a continuation of "good cop - bad cop" tactics. Bush was not embarrassed to project himself as an overt fascist but the bourgeoisie that Melvin wants to constantly applaud realizes that these tactics and strategy of overt fascism was backfiring on them so of course another strategy was called for. This was found in Obama. The bourgeoisie suckered many workers and Marxists into believing "history was being made" with a black president and so the hoopla of such "history making" obfuscated the crisis that the bourgeoisie and capitalism is fomenting. Now we are expected to believe that Obama's call for a "new style" of bi-partisanship will resolve the crisi inherent in capitalism which is that of the class struggle - bourgeoisie opposed to the working class! Yes Comrades, that is the answer. Another vote for Obama! who says one thing and does another which is nothing more than keeping in line with the bourgeoisie's agenda of diversionary tactics to divide the working class and keep them reliant on the bourgeoisie. Yes Comrades, the class struggle continues even though the revisionist Melvin attempts to convince us that Obama is now singing a more pleasant tune! Obama has not ended the war in Iraq, he has escalated the war in Afghanistan and he has bitterly oppressed the working class by refusing to "reform" the fascist policies put in place by Bush. He has further thumbed his nose at the working class by making them bear the burden of his bailouts for the rich ruling class! Yes, I'm sure Obama will change his position now! There is absolutely nothing progressive about capitalism as it is long been moribund and on the verge of total collapse which is why the bourgeoisie must develop a US style of fascism in order to escalate the class struggle in order to protect their vile social system of exploitation. When will this revisionist realize that Obama or any other bourgeois politician will never seek the interests of the working class? They cannot. The interests of the working class can only be served in the complete overthrow of the capitalist system which includes the likes of Obama and his mouthpieces like Melvin who continually seek to mislead the working class and set back the socialist revolution. It is only the proletariat that will bring about such a revolutionary change in society - not the silver-tongued bourgeois politicians! Melvin and his diversionary tactics of trying to get the working class to see progressiveness in the bourgeois political arena and avoid the forcibal overthrow and suppression of the bourgeoisie must be seen in that light. When does this revisionism end on this list?
