The reality is that President Obama owes his success and his hold on power more to three Marxist groups than he does to the Democrats.
The three organizations,
Communist Party USA,
Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and
Democratic Socialists of America, all worked with Barack Obama for years and helped get him elected.
Now they want payback.
All three organizations have
campaigned hard for "socialized" or "Single Payer" health care.
They want Obama to pass a bill, any bill, so that they can then
ratchet up the pressure until the government has complete control of the health sector.
Why? Because these people figure that if government controls health care, it will lock socially conservative American workers into supporting their Democratic Party allies indefinitely.
Britain after World War II is their model. While Winston Churchill was the hero of the hour, in 1946 he was dumped in a landslide in favor of Labour Party leader Clement Attlee, on the promise of a massively increased welfare state and a socialized National Health Service.
Leading Communist Party USA theoretician
Norman Markowitz put it this way in a November 2008 article in Political Affairs, entitled
Obama's Mandate for Change:
A "single payer" national health system--known as "socialized medicine" in the rest of the developed world--should be an essential part of the change that the core constituencies which elected Obama desperately need.
Britain serves as an important political lesson for strategists. After the Labor Party established the National Health Service after World War II, supposedly conservative workers and low-income people under religious and other influences who tended to support the Conservatives were much more likely to vote for the Labor Party when health care, social welfare, education and pro-working class policies were enacted by labor-supported governments.
