the federal government has adopted several central planks of the Communist Manifesto

You are running all over the place making subtle accusations and assumptions about what I believe and think, all wrong, by the way. And I only replied to your assertion, quoted again above, and asked for quotes from the very Communist Manifesto (which I have read, thank you) to support your assertion. You've run away from it, because such quotes cannot be found there. That is all I asked for and don't care for all your other comments, wild fantasies, theories and whatever, neither agree nor disagree, they are totally beside the small point and request for evidence that I was making.

Sorry man, I don't find those accusations regarding America adopting tenets of Communism to be wild-eyed fabrications. Those who believe such a thing draw valid parallels between the theories Marx states in his own words, and the actual policy practices which have been adopted in America. The progressive income tax, at the very least.

Most patriots believe that America has adopted Communism in many ways. They base this on the evidence of their own eyes when compared with the beliefs of Marxists.

Personally, I believe it's inaccurate to try to reduce American domestic policy to simple "corporatism" or fascism. The Communism/Socialism/Marxism is there to be seen, and playing word games or ascribing it all to "self-serving interpretations" is either disingenuous or naive, IMHO.

The paradigm in the Patriot movement is that we are slipping further and further into the corrosive mobocratic abominations known as Marxism, Socialism, Communism, authoritarian collectivism, or whatever you'd like to call it. Calling it "corporatism" is far too oversimplified.

If you don't believe America has adopted much of Communism, you're at liberty to do so. But the patriot movement, by and large, may disagree with you. The fact that we've gone from approximately 0% Communist to "only" 65% Communist, or whatever, doesn't mean that we're not "trending" Communist.

We aren't at 100% Commie, fine, but there's no denying the trend...
