A hot topic worthy of discussion.

I do understand that President Obama's words may have given hope to people. This however is not my line of focus. I see little to no significance in his action outside of generating the thought that this desire (for marriage equality) may be fulfilled it.

That being said do not think I diminish the historicalness, or its emotional value, of his announcement.

Ideological Universalism

"That is why Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief: it stresses man's capacity to shape his material destiny---finite and defined as man's only reality---and it postulates the absolute capacity of man to truly understand his reality as a point of departure for his active endeavors to shape it. To a greater extent than any previous mode of political thinking, Marxism puts a premium on the systematic and rigorous examination of material reality and on guides to action derived from that examination."
