The Communist Manifesto

Git Real's picture

A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

1. Abolition of private property.

2. Heavy progressive income tax.

3. Aboliton to all rights of
inheritance.

4. Confiscation of property of all
emigrants and rebels.

5. A Central bank.

6. Government control of Communications
and Transportation.

7. Government ownership of factories and
agriculture.

8. Government control of labor.

9. Corporate farms, regional planning.

10. Government control of Education.

Are we really willing to give up our rights for the "Common Good"?

How close has our country migrated to a socialist society from liberty toward socialism in the last 50 years?

Is it a concern or will our children even notice the differences between our government now and what we were 50 years ago?

Does anyone even care or does it even matter anymore?

You are keeping the porno freak on here. Stop dropping trivia on him.
As to the Communist Manifesto (from each according to his ability; to each according to his need) has nothing to do with Socialism. We are a partially socialistic society (military, taxes, common police forces, common jails and justice, etc,). We are not Communistic, where you and I might work the cotton fields and give it all but 5% to the government to distribute, some back to us for a house and food and medicine.

You're right regarding the socialistic society. And I think we have migrated heavily into being an ever increasing socialistic country in recent years. My concern is that the more one leans on socialistic course of government the closer we slide to a communistic form of government. I tend disagree that the Commy Manifesto and socialism are not linked. My thoughts are that communism is a by-product of pure socialism.

On the other issue let me say: I know, I know. Ask me another time and I'll tell you why I went overboard with the issue today.

I'll give you my reasoning later after

And I think it does matter. I don't want to live in a socialist society. I want to live in a democratic capitalist society where capitalists have morals and ethics and don't abuse working class Americans.
