Here is a point I try to make with my liberal friends to begin to pry their heads loose from the trashcan of ideology upon which they consistently dine. Think about modern US politics. Even the most hardcore liberals would agree that there are legitimate things to criticize Obama for, however you will never see the legitimate criticism on Fox News.

All of Fox News reporting on Obama bordered on ridiculous. Think about those absurdities and the lies about the Clintons. No legitimate criticism to be found and he was very much the right wing's ally.

Now imagine Stalin and Mao. They led the two most successful socialist states in history. Stalin is the scourge of the bourgeois. They hate him worse than they hate Hitler. Michael Parenti is great on this. Leaders who served the Proletarians, from Julius Caesar through Stalin are always portrayed as Tyrants, monsters, murderers, demagogues.

Also, whenever a liberal uses the word Freedom and Democracy they mean Capital Freedom to move where it will and Capital Democracy, the right for Capital to make the decisions. I am still studying and I am not as well versed as other comrades so I welcome criticism or expansion on anything I have said. thanks.
