Pravda made a bold statement over the weekend:
the communists have won in America with Barack Obama. Why? Because, much like
Russia’s past communist leaders, Americans re-elected him for a second term
without so much as a stated economic strategy for success. No one could disagree
with the Russian “news” outlet.
“This is Pravda. And they are saying Obama is
bringing America old‑style Soviet Communist practices. And Putin is perfect and
he has learned. Again it’s only spin. They are only trying to make us look bad,
but what they’re saying about what we’re doing is 100% accurate,” “And I love
this: Obama was recently reelected for a second term by an illiterate society,
and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He
gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did
in Egypt, Libya, and Syria. He plans his next war with Iran as he fires or
demotes his generals who get in the way.”
TheBlaze reported that the majority of the
article contrasts Obama and Putin, portraying Putin as a traditional American
conservative interested in lowering taxes and shrinking government in order to
grow the economy. As noted above, most of this is just spin for Putin. But much
of what Pravda says about Obama following many of the old school communist
tactics are also true.
Pravda writer Xavier Lermer said,
“Christianity in the U.S. is under attack as it was during the early period of
the Soviet Union when religious symbols were against the law.”
He also wrote of Obama, “He is a Communist
without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so. How
shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go
beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who
still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share
the same drink of illusion.”
