The Communist Manifesto... alive & well in your America

[Patriot]

Really, citizens... how blind do you have to be not to see it?  Read the papers, watch the news, heck, read this forum.  It's here.  The very things for which so many of our forefathers fought & died to prevent in America are a reality.  The bolded items are well underway or are already a part of our American experience.

Basic foundations of the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels, 1847...

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

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 rights 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 work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace 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...

Want some REAL living history?  Read the Communist game plan here:  http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm  

Now tell me it can't happen in your little back yard.  Heck, it's even happening in the beloved Flint Hills of Kansas... Comrade.

You're right.

Most people think communists are in some other country.  They're right here.

You might even have attended Elk County schools with some communists whose ancestors
settled in Elk County back in the 1800's.
