| Red, it's the 21st century. Try to use words as they are defined in the Now instead of the Then.
Demand $100.00/hr if you want to. The taxpayer will bailout the companies and the government will get into more debt, or the prices will rise on goods.
Living in the past isn't going to bring the future.
Let's break down Marx's little manifesto...
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Property taxes accomplish this to a degree.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Yep. Got that too.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Done. Estate tax.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Got that to some degree. Drugs and guns are taken from anyone who oppose the federal government.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Check.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
The airwaves and public roads are in the hands of the state. The cell-phone industry is under attack by regulation as we speak.
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.
Zoning and Planning departments do this.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We haven't gotten here yet. Only 98% of the population works. Marx says Equal Work but he doesn't say Equal Pay. You forget this. CEOs work.
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.
First part done. Soveriegnty is gradually being eroded. Most people are unable to make the distinction that their home states are sovereign nations and that the federal government is not a national one.
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.
Check, check, and check.
With all this communism going on, how can you sit there and attack the ghost of capitalism? You're the one in control. Income tax, public schools, child labor law, central bank, estate tax, etc etc. But this is a capitalist country? My left fucking nut it is!
This is less and less about communism and it's really about the liberal agenda: seizing the means of Wealth from the rich.
Just because you're being so retarded, I'm gonna nail you with this one.
Because of Karl Marx's call for a central bank, the United States became a Corporatist Union.
Way to go, ace. We're all slaves now. Happy? |
