In 2012, on this day Comrade President Barack H. Obama tearfully thanked his campaign workers for seeing off his Capitalist opponent Mitt Romney.
America Chooses Socialism, AgainWith a few noticeable exceptions Communist candidates have occupied the White House ever since the election of Al Smith. And naturally the consensual view of government as an omnipotent provider has created a self-perpetuating majority that the Capitalists stigmatize as freeloaders seeking government hand-outs.
But it has also created an enormous Federal deficit partly because of America's ruinous generosity in helping other countries find their own path to socialism. This was acknowledged by the election headline "America Chooses Socialism" [1] in Israel Today a recognition of massive aid to the creation of the kibbutzim state.
Due to the debt situation, this time around Capitalists wrongly believed they had a better chance of regaining the White House. However, the changing demographics of America appear to have made such a scenario unthinkable for the foreseeable future. This is because the appeal of a low taxation, small government was restricted to the strata of society that had originally developed such out-moded concepts in the late eighteenth century. Marxist historians generally agree that America would not have embraced Communism without the self-evident failure of Capitalism, and the prospect - however remote - of a revisionism prevented a declining majority from forcing a non-political confrontation.

Editor says, [1] Casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson spent $73 million backing Mr Romney, his former primary contender Newt Gingrich, and seven other Republicans around the US amount to just one victory. Like Mr Trump, he fled Mr Romney's election night event in Boston before the candidate even arrived on stage to concede defeat. In a reflection of his anger, the front page of his newspaper Israel Today the following morning read: "America Chooses Socialism".
~ The only problem is Obama is not a socialist but a Liberal Imperialist, backed by Liberal Imperialists. the term you are looking for is Liberal Imperialist. He is so as it is necessary to instal the Free market in other nations econoies inorder to take themover for markets nad investment.
~ MSNBC published a whole list of billionaires who made multi-million-dollar contributions to their favorite candidates. But if Israel Today really said that America had chosen socialism, it must have been meant as a compliment, since modern Israel began as a socialist country, based on the collective farms called kibbutzes.
~ It may have started like that. but that was a long time ago, but now they are mad wirth Obama for not supportingthe One State Solution of Netanyahu - and I don't mean an Israel-palestinian state.
~ Not sure how having Al Smith in the White House would necessarily change the 2012 campaign.... The tongue in cheek suggestion is NONE
~ Obviously, there has been a resurgence of the old Capitalists into the SSA. Good to know that the comrades haven't fallen for their tired, 18th century rhetoric...
~ If I were feeling snarky, I'd say that OTL's Obama IS a Socialist, but I'd say, instead, he is an "Obama-ist." His list of ideas begins and ends with "It'd be keen if I were elected..."
~ Obama may have been a racial fascist in his youth, but I doubt that he ever was a Leninist. This Comrade stuff is silly.
~ Richard, many Israelis opppose Netanyahu themselves. But getting back to Obama the Socialist...many people said the same thing about FDR, but in fact he saved American capitalism.
~ TAGLINE: "America Chooses Socialism, Again".
And what's the point of divergence here from real world history? :-/ Seems uncomfortably close to real life.
~ Jared, you beat me to the punch! ;)
