The Communist Manifesto

Marxism and American Society

"[Communism] is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: 'Ye shall be as gods.' It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communists vision is the vision of man without God. It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world." [Whittaker Chambers, "Witness," p.9.]

The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

These Ten Planks are the hallmark of a Communist Government. You will see that ALL but ONE have been completely implemented in the U.S. Government. And that ONE remaining “plank” is soon to be completed.

1. Graduated Income Tax - Established in America in 1913.



2. Rights of inheritance government controlled – the U.S. government Inheritance Tax



3. Central Bank – the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank



4. Government ownership or control of communications and transportation - FCC and Department of Transportation



5. Government ownership or control of factories and agriculture – through the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Agriculture



6. Government control of labor – U.S. Department of Labor



7. Corporate farms and regional planning/U.S. control of factory farming – three large corporations own virtually ALL the farmland and production facilities in the U.S.
   
   Regional governments are being appointed (NOT elected) and have significant power and control, but are not beholden to the voters.



8. Federal Government control of education – U.S. Department of Education (with National achievement tests and Federal government control of curriculum). This was NEVER to be the case in the U.S.A. It is unconstitutional.



9. Confiscation of property of rebels – the local police departments are confiscating property if marijuana is found being grown on the property, they are confiscating and selling cars of those stopped for highway infractions, they are confiscating the property of those who disagree with the government on the war or income tax.



10. Abolition of private property – For years, the government has had the doctrine of eminent domain through which they can condemn your property for a freeway or other public road. Now they have extended this eminent domain to include the confiscation of your property if your city wants to build a hotel or other building on your property to increase their tax revenue.
    
    They can also abolish private property just by raising your taxes higher than you can pay. They then confiscate your property for non-payment of property tax.
