The future is ours to win. But to get there, we can't just stand still. As Robert Kennedy told us, "The future is not a gift. It is an achievement." Sustaining the American Dream has never been about standing pat. It has required each generation to sacrifice, and struggle, and meet the demands of a new age. And now it's our turn. We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world. (Applause.) We have to make America the best place on Earth to do business. We need to take responsibility for our deficit and reform our government. That's how our people will prosper. That's how we'll win the future. (Applause.) And tonight, I'd like to talk about how we get there. The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation. None of us can predict with certainty what the next big industry will be or where the new jobs will come from. Thirty years ago, we couldn't know that something called the Internet would lead to an economic revolution. What we can do — what America does better than anyone else — is spark the creativity and imagination of our people. We're the nation that put cars in driveways and computers in offices; the nation of Edison and the Wright brothers; of Google and Facebook. In America, innovation doesn't just change our lives. It is how we make our living. Obama State of the Union.
Comment What Obama actually said is important because it impacts the American people and a vast segment of our proletariat, specifically that section of the proletariat that votes. Our voting section of the working class thinks like little bitty capitalist and this is not going to change over night. The American experience is that we manage to come out of crisis and the economy expands lifting all boats. This ideology has been engrained in five generations. Restoration of employment, "good jobs and the old way of life is not going to happen due to revolution in the means of production and with it the emergence of antagonism between the old property/industrial form of society and new means of production and new classes created by these new means of production. A voice of class politics matching how our proletariat thinks things out is needed. The key for communists working in the electoral arena, which is never confined to Election Day, is the communist press and expansion of distribution, no matter what ones line of compromise is with the masses. Rally Comrades is such a paper. _http://www.lrna.org/2-pt/rc.html_ (http://www.lrna.org/2-pt/rc.html) These are the millions of proletarians that crossed the color line and sweep Obama into office. Without question the growing mass of proletariats cast out of bourgeois production, and constituting themselves as a new class in the developing post industrial social order, don’t vote or listen to the honey mouthed speeches of bourgeois politicals. Here is the weak link in the bourgeois order. While ignoring no section of the proletatiat, here is the communist line of march.
