1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, 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. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. 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.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
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.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these 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.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. 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.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans 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. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public 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" . These are used so that all children can be 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. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.
Yea, klintoon, no one has seen a communist because now they call themselves progressives, liberals or DIMocRATs.
I believe that communism is worse now than in the 50’s. The people just won’t believe it. One day they will wake up. I just hope it’s not to late.
Bill Clinton; “this isn’t the 50’s...now honey get down on your knees and take care of business will you- the former president of the US has things to do already”....
I didn't realize he's never met Zero or his wife.
Who is William Ayers for 500 Alex?
Bill is EXACTLY correct - ding! ding! ding!
They are Progressives, Socialists, Marxists, Statists, and Obamunists now. Millions of them.
“I don’t understand it. I don’t know any of my acquaintances who voted for Nixon!”
Your so-called wife is a communist, Slick.
Better watch it, bubb.
West can clean your clock - physically and intellectually.
He’s actually held real jobs.
You haven’t.
Nope, presidential bl*w jobs don’t count.
They may not be reporting by microdot to the kremlin anymore, but they’re still communist traitors.
It’s much worse than the 1950’s. Clinton who lied and cheated his way through his presidency is now the standard of honesty and credibility. Give me a break.
The first 2 years in office Obama had dem control of both the House and Senate - yet he had to “accomplish” things under the extreme adversity of people saying he was not born in America?
Clinton leaves a hint as to why he changed his tune to endorse Obama: the same threats that got him to give up on exposing Obama’s ineligibility in July of 2008 were used now. I imagine it only took two words: Breitbart. Chelsea.
Allen West is right and Joseph McCarthy and the John Birch Society were right too.
[Me and my pesky questions...]
That there happens to exist a misbegotten political animal, the left wing, liberal chimera of which is America’s worst nightmare is all the proof you need that Communism and all its innumerable iterations are alive and doing all too-well.
Actually, Willy-Jeff, you are partly right. Back in the 1950's there were one or two. Now there are over seventy.

So...
When the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA PAC lists the seventy some odd members that are currently holding office IN CONGRESS and Rep. Allen West points out that fact, the screeching from you and the "progressive liberals" (communists) proclaims West's statement as "stupid and dissociated from reality," "trying to make it in the press with comments that don’t even make sense" and Allen West is "an ignorant, mean guy."
Yeah, that load of crap from the communist agenda donks is supposed to convince me that they are not communists?
Oh.
OK.
.
So I take it he hasn’t woken up next to the critter he is married to for a while.
. . . [I and] so many fine people have come to . . . loathing the [U.S.] military . . . To many of us, it is no longer clear what [you did] is service and what is disservice [to our country]
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
A 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical (spoiled brat) speaks out.
A reminder.. to best of my recollection there were questions who was the real father of William Jefferson Blythe (Clinton).
Another egomaniacal psycho kid spoiled by a lifetime of people feeling sorry for him?
A progressive by any other name would still stink of communism.
