A Subconscious Marx-ism?
I do not believe Obama is a socialist, but to me, at the end of his healthcare speech, he just evoked one of the most famous of Karl Marx’s phrases. Quoth Obama:
We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.
Sayeth Marx in Theses on Feurebach:
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.
Again, not equating Obama with socialism — that would be foolish — but the linguistic formulation is similar, especially because when Obama verbalized those two sentences he said them as if there were a semi-colon between them, not a period.
Or maybe I am just baiting the birthers like I did before…
