Communism? Be honest with yourself.
In 1848, Carl Marx, at the age of 30, entered a competition sponsored by the International Socialist Union of Paris, France. His submission was the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto and he won the competition.

The First Plank: Abolition of property in land, and application of all rents of land to public purposes. In America if we want to use public land, we have to rent it or pay royalties on anything we remove from it or pay 'use fees' even if, all we want to do is go camping. This money goes into the department’s treasury and from there to the state or federal treasury. In addition to the rental of public lands, there are taxes on private property. The state levies a property tax on such 'private' land, and if you don't pay, orders a tax sale to get its money from you. If you don't pay, you lose the land. 'Property owner' simply means is 'property renter'?

The Second Plank: A heavy progressive, or graduated, income tax. Well, that isn’t complicated. How much is left of your dollar after income tax?
The Third Plank: Abolition of all right of inheritance. How many people have had the State steal up to 35% of your family’s estate?
The Fourth Plank: Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. How many freedom fighters have been killed and their property seized by local, state, and fed police power?

The Fifth Plank: Centralization of credit in the hands of the State by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. How many of you have heard of the Federal Reserve system that has put you in slavery since 1913?
The Sixth Plank: Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. How many people are licensed up with the driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and vehicle licensing? Uh oh…looks like communication has been centralized with the Internet and NSA.

The Seventh Plank: 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. Every factory in the US operates and exists by permission of the government, which licenses and regulates them and their activities for a portion of the proceeds (taxes). The cultivation of wastelands is the water for irrigation and the improvement of the soil. How many farmers have taken part in government programs ranging from paid non-cultivation of land to loans for 'general land improvement'?
The Eighth Plank: Equal liability of all to labor, establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. How many people work on government terms paying taxes and licensing yourself into permission? Industrial armies include the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), the WPA (Works Project Administration), and the Americorps. Maybe the DOI, DOA, EPA, BLM, Forest Service….?

The Ninth Plank: Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equitable distribution of population over the country. Corporate fascists have created all the “factory” farms in America. The suburbs are neither urban nor rural but a mixture of both.

The Tenth Plank: Free Education for all children in public schools; abolition of children's factory labor in its present form; combination of education with industrial production. Have your parents, children and yourself attended the public fool system? Almost all schools today have a curriculum defined by the government, including the home schooling programs. Next, child labor has simply been shipped overseas to keep Americans in all the products they consume.

So ask yourself.... Are you practicing Communism?
