OF course he is not a "real" black man, although Obama is considered one.

Alan Keyes is clueless. Communism is stateless. Obama is a Statist. Maybe if Keyes had referred to him as a Stalinist it would be more appropriate, even though it would still be inaccurate.

Basically the troll has no idea what he's talking about. All his posts are based around a looney conspiracy theory of the US government and the CIA being pure evil.
As to Alan Keyes, as I explained, pure communism is stateless, by definition. Keyes would be more correct if he referred to Obama as a Statist, or a Stalinist (which would be inaccurate but conceptually along the right track).

Explain troll. My family, both on my Dominican and Italian side are Socialists. I think I have a better understanding. Do you even know what being a Statist is? lol... It's clearly linked to Communism and even Fascism.
Why do I bother with you.

"Communism is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless society based on common ownership and control of the means of production and property in general." - Wikipedia
To say Obama is a Communist is a massive, massive stretch. And would require evidence, not just assertive statements and obviously bias and mis-informed opinions. The man obviously has let his personal opinions on Obama pollute his views.

Marx's Top 10 planks to communism
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.[7]
doh!

Because Communism is a stateless society. There is no State in communism. Your argument is based on the fact that you don't even know what communism means.

Correct. Which is why it would be more accurate to label Obama a Stalinist. That's what I said.

Centralized government is all it takes to head right into the direction of Communism. A Statist is pretty much a blanket term for a Communist. Communism, like Socialism has many different levels of moderation and extremism. Statism is taking certain elements of Communism, doesn't matter which, and implementing that across the board. It doesn't matter if we have state governments as well because they would follow suit.
Am I claiming we're a communist nation? No. I'm claiming that we're heading towards the path of Communism, as to the extreme of it... it is unknown. And the bail outs should have been the biggest clue.
Edit: Statelessness? Amnesty bill.

OK, class; terminology hair-splitting disputes aside, how do you feel about some of Keye's remarks? In other words, the basis of why the OP posted the video  .

1) Obama was a member of a communist organization called "New Party" in 1995-1996. He was trained by Marxist Professors (his own words). He worked for Acorn and SEIU, both communist organizations.
2) Obama's mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party.
3) Obama's book was written by a communist (Bill Ayers)
4) Obama hired communist advisors:
5) Obama is a communist

Standard fearmongering. Some of the points are accurate, but they are a continuation of previous policies. Obviously, we need to stop spending money, the war in Afghanistan needs to end, production of goods needs to increase, but nobody has a good plan for achieving any of these, Alan Keyes included.

I believe "New Party" refers to progressive/socialist policies, not communism.
ACORN and SEIU, while almost certainly corrupt (imo) and a wart on our society, are not communist organizations per se.
I'll grant you #2-#4, but #5 is still somewhat unproven  .
But to me, the much more important issues that Keyes touched on were related to a fiscal policy that makes GB's last 4yrs look like he was a tight ass......and social policy that we can argue all day over defining, but should debate on the merits, not the name we decide upon.

That's really disingenuous and I think you're judging him by the wrong criteria. Just because he was a New Party member and had communist friends and was mentored by communists and hired communists and nationalized some industries doesn't make him a communist. You really need more evidence than that.
I disagree with a lot of Obama's policies, but I think you're way off base here.

Well, I think there are some good ideas/plans out there, but they're being smothered by the current admin's 3-way power play (it wouldn't be any different if the republicans were in office either). Nevertheless, while Keyes does represent some views I hold, he's never been high on my list as being the sharpest knife in the drawer either. Still, he raises valid points and you can't deny him that.

It's a bit scary that people are taking Alan Keyes seriously.
The man is still bitter about getting royally spanked in the 2004 senate race. I mean ROYALLY spanked. Obama got 40% REPUBLICAN support in that race (not to mention 75% of independents)
Keyes was working with psycho Orly Taitz on the birther sh*t too.
I wouldn't be surprised if the people in my sig took the guy seriously but everyone else should be a bit smarter than that, hopefully
