The Communist Manifesto Revisited

So, how far have the commies/socialists progressed since the inception of the Communist Manifesto? Well, have a look around you while reading the ten planks below and judge for yourself.

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

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 rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank (Central 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. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.

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, etc.

Judging from the way people continue to vote across the globe, it shows you how they’ve been duped into believing that socialism is not communism. What they don’t see is that these ideologies only differ in approach, (socialism being soft and gradualist and communism being crude and revolutionary) but the end goal is still the same.

History can attest to it that both ideologies are seriously flawed and have been proven to be a miserable failure, but

like a moth to flame, it keeps drawing people back into its clutches of misery. And if you’ve been suckered into believing that Free Market Capitalism is the cause of this (and previous) financial crisis, then you may just as well believe in the Tooth Fairy. The excerpt from the Communist Manifesto above, proves the opposite.

Socialism/Communism took control of Capitalism very long ago and have been driving economies into the ground in order to destroy Capitalism, and whatever remnants of the Free Market  is left over. Remember this when you wake up one morning, and the only control you’re left with is your bodily functions (that’s if they haven’t yet started taxing you for breathing and flatulence) and all the rest will be controlled by the State.

Sweet dreams…
