10 Pillars

I thought this was relevant to this blog. Below are the 10 Pillars of Communism, as outlined in the Communist Manifesto...


1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes (LAND TAKINGS BY GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT OWNED LANDS, ABUSIVE PROPERTY TAXES, Eminant Domain).
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (DONE)
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (The "Death Tax")
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED)
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Federal Reserve)
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. (THE FCC HAS BROAD POWERS IN THIS AREA)
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. (THE FARM BILL HAS ACCOMPLISHED SOME OF THIS)
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (PEACE CORPS, JOB CORPS, Obama's "National Service" Law)
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. (PARTIAL-LAND USE PLANNING, KELO RULINGS, ETC.)
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. (DONE)


Open your eyes, people.
