To people who say ” Obama isn’t really a socialist, and people who call him a socialist are just idiots. He’s just as neoliberal as the rest of them.”
He just nationalised the Internet.
He nationalised—the Internet.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty socialist to me.

Look through your mail, open up your bill from your internet provider of choice, note that you are still paying them for your internet and not the government.
Now, try to logic again and get it right this time.
No. He just encouraged a ruling that kept what you see on the internet out of the control of corporations. Say thank you.
As usual, a Democrat was trying to act in your best interest even though you're too stupid to do so yourself.
He didn't, he KEPT it neutral, that's what he did.
You don't have the faintest idea what socialism is, do ya, Goaty?
Oh FFS, he didn't nationalize the internet. The FCC approved net neutrality rules, meaning that ISP's can't charge more money for watching movies on Netflix or something, or slowing your service if you don't pay extra. It also guarantees that a conservative owner of an ISP can't block liberal websites and vice versa.
No, the feds are acting to preserve the status quo that has existed for over twenty years, and to prevent a tiny handful.of companies from squeezing out all other competition. Read a fucking dictionary sometime and find out what"nationalization" really is.
I'm a Socialist and I can assure you, President Obama is not a socialist. He is a capitalist that has some mild recognition of the benefits of social welfare programs.
As for the internet being "nationalized" by the US, you should be aware that your country comprises some 350 million people and there are some 7.5 billion people on the planet. You fail math, forever.
This is sent from Radio Free Internet, located in the socialist paradise of Canada, you fucktard.
Then why can't I have the US government or one of its agencies as my ISP?

At least we have a nice, verifiably correct statement here.
Even as a non-Yank, I know that President Obama is not responsible for this decision, but even so...
The FCC is now able to strongly regulate economic activity of the internet free market as proposed in Wealth of Nations, the template of Capitalism.
So you believe that folowing the philosophy of Adam Smith is Socialism?
MAFIAA brainwashing at full force, combined with presumably right wing extremism and possibly fundie Christianity.
The annihilation of the copyright crusaders and the religious right can't come soon enough.
Also, after skimming his tumblr and wordpress, I've come to the conclusion that this guy's a fuckwipe.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
