The Ten Planks of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
(and How Statists Implement Them) |
|
- Abolition of private property rights (via high property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, "fair housing" edicts, environmental and "wetlands" regulations, UN Agenda 21, etc.)
- Institution of a heavily graduated income tax (by calling it "taxing the rich")
- Abolition of all rights of inheritance (through a confiscatory estate tax on "the rich")
- Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state (through lawless application of asset forfeiture and eminent domain)
- Centralization of credit into the hands of the state (Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, TARP, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, federal takeover of student loans, etc.)
- Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).
- Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA etc.)
- Mandatory labor union membership ("card check" to bypass employee consent, automatic withholding of union dues, forced unionization of health care workers, teachers, police, firefighters, etc.)
- Equitable redistribution of all wealth (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, Community Reinvestment Act, etc.)
- Free public education (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.)
