The Ten Planks of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
(and How Statists Implement Them)
Abolition of private property rights (via high property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, "fair housing" edicts, environmental and "wetlands" regulations, UN Agenda 21, etc.)
Institution of a heavily graduated income tax (by calling it "taxing the rich")
Abolition of all rights of inheritance (through a confiscatory estate tax on "the rich")
Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state (through lawless application of asset forfeiture and eminent domain)
Centralization of credit into the hands of the state (Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, TARP, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, federal takeover of student loans, etc.)
Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).
Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA etc.)
Mandatory labor union membership ("card check" to bypass employee consent, automatic withholding of union dues, forced unionization of health care workers, teachers, police, firefighters, etc.)
Equitable redistribution of all wealth (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, Community Reinvestment Act, etc.)
Free public education (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.)
