Know your enemy:
Karl Marx describes in his Communist Manifesto the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power necessary to effect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of the communist manifesto. They read:
THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
1. Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. (strict zoning laws are the first step to government control of property, and a one to three trillion dollar take-over of private lands is the second step)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (need we say anything !)
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (read inheritance taxes)
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (read the accused, not the convicted - Asset forfeiture laws, 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. (read Federal Reserve Bank, Fiat Paper Money, and fractional reserve banking)
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State. (read DOT, FAA, FCC etc...)
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. (read "controlled" rather than "owned", or subsidized)
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (read Minimum Wage and imprisoned or slave laborers. You know like in China (and here in the U.S. prisons), our Most Favored Nation trade partner. Can you figure out why we are partnered with communists ?)
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. (read forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, you know, like in
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. (so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". I defy you to show me the words "fair share" anywhere in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26). ANYWHERE !! The whole philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need ! The very concept is pure totalitarian socialism.)
The people (politicians) who believe in these things and pass more and more laws implementing these ideas are traitors to the American Constitution. KNOW YOUR ENEMY.
