10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
-No drilling in ANWAR; no new nuke facilities or refineries. All rents of land to public purposes... could that also mean over taxation?
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
-Already have that. And it'll get heavier!
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
-With the death tax at 40%+, we're on our way.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
-Give them time.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
-Ever hear of the Federal Reserve? Thanx Woody Wilson!
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
-FCC already controls communication. The libs control most of the mass media. No new oil drilling puts the masses at the mercy of government to heal their woes.
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.
-Not there yet. Give them time, with the World Government leading the way. Notice how everyone else in the world is telling US that WE eat too much? LMAO
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
-Having the government controlling minimum wages, we lessen the effect of the market's supply and demand for work. This also stifles the competitive spirit of the worker. "Why learn a skill, when I can get by flipping burgers?" As far as the industrial/agricultural armies, I point to the illegals!
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
-This, I think is just outdated nonsense. I see more of an abolition of national borders from the Dems... specifically, the southern border.
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.
-Already have the State sponsored free education; complete with brainwashing. Combining education with industrial production is moot, since the Dems hate all industry, other than windmills and solar panels.
