Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto
Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps
necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a
system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a communist
socialist state. Following are the original ten planks within the
Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, followed by a
discussion of how America has adopted each of the planks.
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to
public purpose.
The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution (1868) to give the government far more "eminent domain"
power than was originally intended. Under the rubric of "eminent domain"
and various zoning regulations, land use regulations by the Bureau of
Land Management property taxes, and "environmental" excuses, private
property rights have become very diluted. As a result, private property
in lands, vehicles, and other forms are seized almost every day in this
country under the "forfeiture" provisions of the RICO statutes and the
so-called
War on Drugs. Private owners of property are required to get
permission from government relative to the use of their property.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The
16th
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars
maintain was never properly ratified), the Social Security Act of 1936,
Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933, and various State income taxes
established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades
ago. These taxes continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American
economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed
capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary
increases.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Another Marxist attack on private property rights is in the form of
Federal & State estate taxes and other inheritance taxes, which have
abolished or at least greatly diluted the right of private property
owners to determine the disposition and distribution of their estates
upon their death.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
We call it government seizures, tax liens, "forfeiture" Public "law"
99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives
private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of
"terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government"
(1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without
due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a
national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of
Congress in 1913, is indeed such a "national bank" and it politically
manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting
in the United States. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and
are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue
Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional
reserve banking. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely
fulfills this plank.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation
in the hands of the State.
In the U.S., communication and transportation are controlled and
regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established by
the Communications Act of 1934 and the Department of Transportation and
the Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887),
and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders
11490, 10999 -- not to mention various state bureaucracies and
regulations including State mandated driver's licenses. Federal Highway
Act of 1916 made federal funds available to States for highway
construction), the Interstate Highway System, 1944 (funding began 1956);
Interstate Commerce Commission given authority by Congress to regulate
trucking and carriers on inland waterways, 1935-40. There is also the
federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL -- outright socialist
(government-owned) enterprises. Instead of free-market private
enterprise in these important industries, these fields in America are
semi-cartels through the governments regulatory-industrial complex.
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.
We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department
of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor,
Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of
Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park
Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
The Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 provided that farmers will
receive government aid if and only if they relinquish control of farming
activities.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial
armies, especially for agriculture.
We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of
Labor and it's seen in Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with
our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. The
National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the
need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's,
the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of
1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public
Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. And I almost
forgot...The Equal Rights Amendment means that women should do all work
that men do including the military and since passage it would make women
subject to the draft.
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.
We call it the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17
1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647,
11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. Food processing companies,
with the co-operation of the Farmers Home Administration foreclosures,
are buying up farms and creating "conglomerates."
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition
of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of
education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but
are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools
are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for
the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education,
the NEA and Outcome Based "Education". The federal influence of
education is evident in "head-start" programs, school lunch programs,
textbooks, and library books. Our children are being indoctrinated and
inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and
"pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the
Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)??
NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of
"fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to
their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure
socialism. END
