Karl Marx was paid by the "League of the Just" (later "Communist League") in 1847 to write the Communist Manifesto, and again to rewrite it in 1848. The Manifesto was intended to incite violent revolution, was a recipe for tyranny itself, and later served as a 'glorious goal' to believe in to blind followers to the realities of the brutal dictatorships that oppressed all "workers" and slaughtered millions under Communist rule. Hitler's Mein Kampf served a similar gruesome and bloody purpose. These 10 steps are a part of the Manifesto. Western nations including the United States have gradually implemented virtually all of Marx's 10 key steps toward creating a dictatorship. What are some examples can you find? Americans would be wise to study the "Ten Planks" and demand that the President and Congress abolish all laws, regulations and agencies which govern these (and all other) unconstitutional seizures of power. Karl Marx's "10 Planks" to seize power and destroy freedom: 1. Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose. 2. A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax. 3. Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance. 4. Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels. 5. Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly. 6. Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State. 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. 8. Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture. 9. Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country. 10. Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children's Factory Labor in it's Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.
Ah, but we have “Galt’s Gulch” and the wisdom of Rand to effectively unwind all these planks. THe beauty of Rand is that she saw how the only way to fight Marxism which tries to take all material wealth away from the individual is to take all material wealth away from the gummint. It will be brutal and only those prepared will survive but it will work.
Check. Anyone who "owns" property knows full well what happens if he/she doesn't pay property taxes.
2. A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.
Check.
3. Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.
Check. Look at how much heirs pay in death taxes.
4. Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.
Check. The IRS recently announced it was going after "high value" US expatriates. If you think renouncing your citizenship is a way out of this, they even charge you an "exit tax."
5. Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.
Check. Look at how the Federal Reserve operates. Beyond that, the recent bank bailout put many "private" banks under state control or ownership.
6. Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.
Not quite sure about this.
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.
The government did take over GM and Chrysler.
8. Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.
This one is a work in progress.
9. Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.
The agricultural sector in this country feeds at the trough of taxpayer subsidies for crops.
10. Free Education for All Children in Public Schools.
Check.

LMAO
............................. now I'm sick at my stomach at you're brilliant wisdom.

p.s. Was putting in power an African Colonial with a huge chip on his shoulder bent on ruining America implemented?
Not quite sure about this.

We have the FCC, EPA, and Dept of Tranportation.
Think of the ever increasingly strict CAFE standards on vehicles...the push for "public" transportation. Then, take a look at ideas like the "fairness doctrine" and "net neutrality."
Number 6 is a work in progress

Indeed we do. I concur with your conclusion that Number 6 is definitely a work in progress. Had Comcast lost its recent court case against the FCC I might have to give it a check.
LOL! Of course that is a direct result of Number 10.

whatever marx missed, hussein will get to quickly!!!!!!!!!!
I think the best way of dealing with Obama is to call a duck a duck, and a communist a communist. Identify and advertise. Obama was related to, raised by, surrounded by, educated by, mentored by, helped by, had books written by (Bill Ayers) -COMMUNISTS-
He is for “redistribution of wealth”
He is for centralization of government, big government with direct control of the economy
He sees everything in terms of class and class warfare
He sees the US as an imperialist militarist power he has to apologize for and disarm.
He has even filled his appointments with self proclaimed communists and communist admirers.
So when are we going to start calling this duck a duck? He won’t admit it, and the media won’t admit it, but a clear definition of Marx applies to where Obama is taking us and we should be screaming it from the rooftops.
The easiest way to defeat evil is to shine a light on it. Let not be afraid to identify and call it what it is. Obama will react as a vampire to the daylight.
Kelo. Done.
2. A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.
16th Amendment, circa 1913. Done
3. Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.
55% done, except for this year. Expect a retroactive death tax to cover that little lapse.
4. Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.
Coming soon.
5. Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.
Federal Reserve, bank take over.
6. Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.
Done. DOT, FAA and FCC.
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.
In progress. Millions of acres of "federal land" off limits.
8. Equal Liability of All to Labor.
In progress. SEIU.
Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.
Amnesty?
9. Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.
In progress.
10. Free Education for All Children in Public Schools.
Department of (re)Education, circa 1978.
Now that is really interesting and deserving of further scrutiny.
They have all been implemented. We are a communist country. Americans are weak and like their comfy chains. They are frightened of freedom and its required responsibility.
