The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
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.
