The Ten Planks of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
(and How Statists Implement Them)

1. Abolition of private property rights (via high property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, "fair housing" edicts, environmental and "wetlands" regulations, UN Agenda 21, etc.)

2. Institution of a heavily graduated income tax (by calling it "taxing the rich")

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance (through a confiscatory estate tax on "the rich")

4. Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state (through lawless application of asset forfeiture and eminent domain)

5. 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.)

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).

7. Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA etc.)

8. 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.)

9. Equitable redistribution of all wealth (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, Community Reinvestment Act, etc.)

10. Free public education (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.)

We now know that the banks colluded with the government and the Fed to do QE and QE2 in order to bail out the banks at the expense of the taxpayers.

We now know that the insurance companies and drug companies colluded with the Obama administration to try and make Obamacare workable for them at the expense of the taxpayers.

If DeBlasio goes after the banks the only real downside is that the banks will find a way to pass whatever losses they incur onto the taxpayers once again.

Communism was never really tried because it is a fairy tale that can't exist in a real world. Communism was just a facade behind which the monopolistic capitalistic enterprise we called the Soviet government hid.

'Free Market' or 'Welfare State Capitalism' is the term we use to describe the oligarchic enterprise that currently runs the U.S.

We are hosed regardless of whether the politicians seem to be winning or corporate America seems to be winning.

Regardless, the only ones that are always losing are those that earn taxable income.

Here we go. The commies have completely taken over NY. Oh, wait a moment. That happened long ago. The only difference now is that don’t have to pretend to be something other than commies anymore.
