But blind rage accomplishes little also, nor does your tough guy persona impress me.
I deplore EVERY administration, because the state is an instrument and symptom of class oppression. That being said, Obama nor any other president can just go around bombing or invading any country they feel like. If we did that, humanity would have destroyed itself long ago, and I am thankful that someone like you has not assumed a high position of power. If you were president, you'd start WWIII because of your hot temper, resulting in the ruin of many people's lives - all for the purpose of fulfilling your outrageous, machismo ego.
Admittedly, I also have a bit of a temper (most of us to some degree do), but I'm also rational and know how to usually keep it in check. It actually takes a lot to set me off, though when it does happen, it aint' pretty. Though sometimes just thinking about the anti-human actions and injustices that occur as a result of the capitalist system can get my blood boiling. But I'm not going to go out and shoot every capitalist or business owner I see either, or start fights with every conservative working class person I see because their false consciousness and shallow understanding of how the world works frustrates me.
My comments have nothing to do with making a "communist point" - they are a materialist critique of capitalist social relations, so how can they possibly be reaching? It has nothing to do with communism, since we live in a capitalist (for the time being) society. Nowhere in my post did I mention communism (my signature doesn't count), let alone give any phrase to it.
Also, your whole "man up" comment about Obama is extremely reactionary and quite offensive, since a man, according to your rationale, must be a "wimp" or a "sissy" or a "pussy" if he takes a passive or non-aggressive approach on a conflict of some sort. The comment is a reflection of the stereotype perpetuated in our culture of masculine superiority. Your very choice of language shows the influence capitalist social relations and its cultural hegemony has on you.
