Hey, communist dictatorships WORK!

Too bad they finally got a Communist in the White House just as we went broke. Bad timing for them.

Even the Marxists knew Marx was wrong about almost everything — so much for him presenting it as a “science.” Now it’s not about the old or vulgar Marxism but Cultural Marxism that presents the threat to capitalism.

World Federalist Manifesto-Guide to Political Globalization

[Excellence]

This was published in our local paper last Sunday. Our local paper has been getting pretty ballsy lately.

Communist Manifesto
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of all property of 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 obligation of all to work….
9. … gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools….

Sounds to me like all of these goals are well covered by US Bureaucracies already.
1. HUD, FLC, All bureaucracies that make eminent domain claims.
2. IRS - Tax Reform
3. IRS - Estate Tax (aka Death Tax)
4. IRS - Liens and Seizures
5. The Federal Reserve
6. FCC and US Dept of Transportation (FAA, FHA, FRA, NHTSA, OIG) along with DHS (TSA)
7. OSHA - Cap and Trade regulations in the name of the "Climate Change" crisis. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, giving federal control over industries that receive money.
8. Replaced by government dependency
9. All Federal bureaucracies that claim national regulatory power as opposed to State and local control
10. US Department of Education

He’s an amazing author and professor. And he’s spot on about communism and socialism. I think the move to some of these is well under way. Enforcing #8 is likely to be tricky.

"...Marx’s Communist Manifesto, a plainly awful book, packed with hatred and, frankly, stupidity."

LOL! That's the same reaction I had when I read it.
