The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which the communist agenda has in fact been implemented in the United States of America.
In the Communist Manifesto, Marx leads up to his ten point plan with some interesting communist goals. I will cover but a few.
“The abolition of the family”; Marx says that, “the bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its compliment vanishes (the absence of family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution), and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.”
The divorce rate in America for first marriage, vs second or third marriage
50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce, according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.” http://www.divorcerate.org/
“Destroy the family, you destroy the country” Lenin
This is because the family is the biblical cornerstone of a free society. A biblical home is refuge, and a biblical family provides all its members with stability and security.
When this relationship is destroyed, the state steps up and becomes the paternal surrogate. Thus government evolves into the nanny state, the paternal caretaker of the people. When people are isolated from family and without the support and encouragement of it; it is much easier for them to be manipulated into becoming good and obedient slaves of the state.
Marx said; “You charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? “To this crime we plead guilty.” Marx’s defense of this crime is as follows; “The communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention and to rescue education from the ruling class”. Please note the ruling class is bourgeois parents.
This is similar to Plato’s Republic and most Utopian writings, which also sought to take children from parents at an early age and indoctrinate them for the good of the state.
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted”. (Lenin)
Here is the real reason for public education.
“Communists would introduce the community of woman”, this again may be found in Plato’s Republic. In summary, Marx say’s that this is in fact already the case, it is just not practiced openly; and that the communists seek to “release women from the current system of prostitution both public and private”. According to Marx; “the Bourgeois sees in their wife a mere instrument of production.” Under the communist system a women is expected to work outside of the home, as well in the home. Of course she is released from a great burden because the state now takes responsibility for the raising of children.
“In the course of two years Soviet power in one of the most backward countries of Europe did more to emancipate women and to make their status equal to that of the “strong” sex than all the advanced, enlightened, “democratic” republics of the world did in the course of 130 years.” (Lenin)
“You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman”. (Lenin)
Marx states; “The communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationalities.”
“I don’t care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.” (Lenin)
They want a one world communist government!
“The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.” (Lenin)
Again this is one world communist government.
“There are, besides, eternal truths such as freedom, justice, etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore, acts in contradiction to all past historical experience”.
“Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.” (Lenin)
It should be noted that our Judeo- Christian heritage is no longer even acknowledged. The Ten Commandments have been removed from schools and courthouses across the land. Christians are called ignorant, uneducated, bigoted, and intolerant. I cannot but help but be reminded of the words of J.S. Mill; “Men are not more zealous for truth than they often are for error, and a sufficient application of legal or even of social penalties will generally succeed in stopping the propagation of either.”
We will now look at the “The Ten Point Plan”.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
The United States government owns 40% of all land in this country. Land taxation, land use controls, and a variety of other regulations, should be considered as steps in this direction as well. Then there is Fannie and Freddie a mix of government and private entities who have provided up to 80 % and not less than 50 % of mortgages for homes in the U.S. which include land, and then let us not forget the 850 billion dollar bailout and the purchase of preferred stock of the most prestigious financial institutions in the country. This means that the United States government now holds a great percentage of the citizen’s mortgages and the property that is defaulted on, by holding shares in the banks.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
This is in fact the current tax system in place in the United States.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
The estate tax, better known as death tax is a positive step in the abolition of rights of inheritance. The new president elect wants to increase this significantly.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
This is being done to those labeled terrorists by the United States government. Through laws such as the patriot act, and others that grant government unlimited power; under martial law the government could do just about anything. Then we have eminent domain laws which have been tending of late to have less and less regard for individual property rights. In Kelo vs City of New London, the court ruled 5-4 in favor of New London. See: http://civilliberty.about.com/od/freetradeopenmarkets/p/kelovlondon.html “In a scathing dissent, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas) condemned the ruling as a fundamental attack on property rights. Justice Thomas argued that any plan to forcibly transfer property from one private owner to another under eminent domain violates the Fifth Amendment's "public use" standard”.
Lastly we should add search and seizure that falls into the category of the so called “War on drugs” “Civil asset forfeiture often takes place without proof of the origins of the asset and without a conviction of anyone for wrongdoing” See: http://www.drugpolicy.org/law/searchandsei/
“We do not have time to play at “oppositions” at “conferences.” We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as “nonparty,” in prison”. (Lenin)
The fact is the patriot act could be used against political opponents, or any group that government deemed.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
This began with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The capstone was set in place when the bail out bill was passed, despite the objection of over 80% of American citizens. The United States government by purchasing preferred stock is now an owner of what were once private commercial banks, how many and which ones, well they haven’t shared an abundance of information but we know that 290 billion of the 350 billion dollar allotment has already been spent, and we know Goldman Sachs got 10 billion. http://www.lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs95.html
“The surest way to destroy a nation is to debauch its currency” (Lenin)
This began with the Federal Reserve, and the bail out is the finishing touch.
“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” (Lenin)
We are selling our national debt to communist countries, such as China.
“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” (Lenin)
Fiat money is easy to inflate .Inflation is a hidden tax. Cap and Trade will mean a significant increase in taxes.
“One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers and the disarming of the bourgeois. (Lenin)
Saddling the middle class with the present expense of government, a trillion dollar bail out, and the current deficit of $9,855,940, 486 will certainly lead to the demise of the middle class.
“First ascertain exactly the position of the various capitalists, then control them, influence them by restricting or enlarging, facilitating or hindering their credits, and finally they can entirely determine their fate.” (Lenin)
I think foreign nations owning our government’s debt puts them in an excellent position to do this.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
In the area of communication there is the FCC, along with all their rules and regulations, and let us not forget PBS and NPR; and we need to include the fact the radio and television broadcasting stations must get a license from the government.
Transportation this would fall under the ICC, which leads to the DOT, and FAA. Then we have public transportation systems, such as trains, subways, and busses in various cities across the country, you know the ones that never make any money. Then there are all the licenses for planes, cars, trucks, busses, and planes, and let us be sure to include the one you have to have to drive anywhere. As of yet we are not required to have one to walk or ride a bicycle, but there are places which now require a helmet and pads to ride a bike.
“The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this. (Lenin)
The passage of the so called fairness doctrine should eliminate true freedom of the press. Hate crime legislation is also dangerous especially when applied to speech.
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.
America has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, so many have gone overseas, its cheaper there. The government has now taken part of ownership of GM. It has begun and it will not end here. If the government builds cars as irresponsibly as they manage their budget, we should all be bankrupt in no time keeping them from going bankrupt, and if they are as efficient at is as any other government bureaucracy and agency, well we had all better stay off the roads, they will be a very dangerous place.
For waste land and soil, we have the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, and the National Park Service and I am sure there is more.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We have minimum wage laws, and we know how many mothers have been forced into the workplace to help their husbands make ends meet, if they are lucky enough to have one. But it seems to me the only ones obligated to work, are those with a work ethic, everyone else is subsidized by those with the work ethic. So if you don’t work, don’t worry the government takes from someone who does so you don’t have to, this is called security, a safety net. Then if you happen to be an executive or business owner in the class of Merrill Lynch or Goldman Sachs who makes poor and foolish business decisions that lead to your demise, don’t worry that foolish middle class with the work ethic they will bail you out too! Please understand bail outs are not for small or independent business. You fall in the work ethic category, middle class. Don’t take it too hard, the government wants to take care of you too, they have promised some good free stuff. Although, free means you have to pay for it, just sign over your soul on the dotted line.
I believe the industrial armies are the illegal immigrants government wants to give social security, free health care, and free education too. Yes, since they are giving it to them for free; you the work ethic group, get to pay for these too!
I think the idea is once they have us as low as we can go, they will then eliminate those who don’t work. I know that is how they do it in honest and open communist countries; by that time, we will see this is a relief.
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.
This goal might explain why there are so few family farms. The United States government hasn’t accomplished this yet. That they haven’t tends to show up in elections as red states and blue states.
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.
This was instituted in the 1920’s and we have accomplished much, we have continually become less literate, and somehow actually less intelligent, despite more dollars spent consecutively year after year. How one can become more educated, more time per day and year; and less literate and less intelligent makes one wonder if that wasn’t the purpose in the first place? See: http://education-portal.com/articles/Illiteracy:_The_Downfall_of_American_Society.html http://www.heritage.org/Research/Education/WM134.cfm
Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at who it is pointed. (Stalin)
Elimination of child factory labor, we have accomplished that and more. Children today do not even have to do chores, imagine that! To have them do so would be politically incorrect.
Some further quotes by Lenin relevant to this issue.
“A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.” (Lenin)
This can be answered by another quote; “One man with a gun controls one hundred without one.” (Lenin)
Thomas Jefferson’s advice; “For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security” and “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
“While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.” (Lenin)
Albert J. Nock describes this from a different vantage point “It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. All the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another; there is no other source from which State power can be drawn. Therefore every assumption of State power, whether by gift or seizure, leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can there be, any strengthening of State power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power.”
“The goal of socialism is communism.” (Lenin)
Socialism is a soft form of communism; it has all sorts of nice warm fuzzy sounding words; like free health care, free education, free college, and free retirement. Socialism is the stepping stone to communism, it is a time to get you acclimated, and adjusted so you will be quite well adapted to servitude. Think of it like putting a frog in a pan of water on the stove and gradually increasing the heat, he doesn’t even realize and never attempts to escape. Etienne De La Boetie describes it in this way, “The fundamental political question is why do people obey a government. The answer is that they tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. Freedom from servitude comes not from violent action, but from the refusal to serve. Tyrants fall when the people withdraw their support.” Thomas Jefferson describes how a people enslave themselves as well, “Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.” Thomas Jefferson
“We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.” (Lenin)
This is the period where they come drag you out of your bed in the middle of the night and kill you, it serves two purposes, it terrifies everyone so they will behave as they should, and gets rid of anyone who could in any way be a threat. A threat is anyone who is a non conformist! Remember sameness, fixed conformity is the equality of the Marxist philosophy!
“How many Americans will die bringing this to a reality? Hitler 14 Million, Lenin –Stalin 60 Million, Mao 78, 860,000.
“One death is a tragedy a million is a statistic” Joseph Stalin.
At this point, the communists will have achieved utopia, pure communism. Where; “Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stands.” (Marx) Society is the bee hive, and you are simply a bee, your entire being and purpose is to serve the almighty god of state, the Queen. Marx believed in social Darwinism, the evolving of society and man to the perfect state. It is difficult for me to see how man evolves here; I see regression, the return to those systems of government in which the majority of men were always enslaved. It is interesting that Marx in fact places man in his first stage at barbaric communism, he has man end in an enlightened type communism. A full circle, but this is in stark contrast to the Judeo- Christian worldview which is in fact linear. The utopia, of which Marx dreamed, his heaven on earth, will in reality end with utter and total darkness, an abyss and hell on earth, with the decaying rotting flesh of dead men. I for one hold to a worldview in direct opposition to that of Marx, and while I live and I have breath, I will be a light in the darkness; and the salt that preserves and keeps flesh from rot and decay. I will declare that I was created with liberty. I will declare to all who will hear that my God reigns; and he is not a God of Force, that he is in fact the very author of Liberty, that I have been redeemed, and that whoever the Son sets free is free indeed! I will be a peculiar people and I will not conform!
Be Of good Courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Psalms 31: 24
