          Obama, Marxism, and Communism

          After I reviewed Stanley Kurtz’s Radical-in-Chief, Jonah Goldberg criticized me for conflating socialism and communism.

          Glenn Beck, for example, conflates socialism and the totalitarian state promised in “The Road to Serfdom” all the time.

          Joel Mathis notices that Kurtz didn’t agree with Goldberg, either:
