Mises Institute Chairman Explains Obama's Socialism

Lew Rockwell of the Mises Institute explains socialism as heard on state radio NPR:

This morning on state radio, where they were all celebrating the expansion of state medicine as “historic,” they played one particular Obama comment several times: “We have answered the call of history!” (Hang up, Barack, hang up!) It made me remember Murray Rothbard talking about the Marxist fixation on History as a sort of god. History is inevitably moving towards Communism, and it is the duty of all progressive forces to help. To oppose History is the worst thing you can do. This is why the Progressives of the early 20th century and now use that term. Progress towards the total state, however achieved, is in sync with History.

The Progressives want to restrict the supply of consumer choices.
