That’s America’s choice if “Willard” Romney is the Republican nominee. My old friend Yuri Maltsev, who was an economic advisor to Gorbachev and defected from the Soviet Union in the 1980s, calls Obama “the proud Marxist in the White House.” Yuri knows a proud Marxist when he sees one.
As for Willard, he has said that he wants to explode the growth of the warfare state even more than it has already been exploding under the past several regimes. On the subject of the welfare state, he has said that it is just fine and dandy except for the need for some “improvement.” In D.C. speak, this means “more money looted from taxpayers and given away to bums and parasites.” And he had the chutzpah, several days ago, to bloviate on about out-of-control spending by the Obammunists.
If Willard is the nominee then my money is on the Proud Marxist. A Washington insider recently said that Willard is such a bad politician that he even has “the handshake of an undertaker.”
