“Most all countries are socialist...to include the US. However, there’s this thick layer of capitalist that exist which gives you a mixture of 80-percent capitalism and 20-percent socialism. Taxes, social security Meidcare, etc....all hinge to socialism.”

Possibly.

If you use the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto as a guideline for implementation, ..

How many planks have we implemented?

The Communist Manifesto was a White Paper-like product by Marx, who led some gifted lifestyle paid for by generous donors. Marx never saw a single bit of this dream world in his travels around Europe.

On the ten planks....you can’t show a single society who has attempted to enact these....reaching any form of success. It’s merely a paper-tiger project at best.

We might have reach first base on item 2....the progressive tax deal. But there are over 80,000 pages to the tax code, and tens of thousands of credits...which make the code a joke.
