1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Taxation and eminent domain powers are in place to do just that.  Eminent domain is already being enforced regularly to take private property for public good.)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (A graduated tax system is already being used to re-distribute wealth.)
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (The inheritance tax system is in place to raise them to whatever gets passed by the politicians.  They could make them as high as they want; eventually leaving little or nothing nothing in the estates of the deceased.)
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (This is a reference to police power.  If you rebel, you will be locked up.  Rebelling, of course includes not paying your taxes, in which case they will take your property to “make them whole” and take you away.)
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.  (No need to elaborate on this one.  The banks did NOT need to be bailed out! Many might have gone out of business but the system would have survived and remained independent.)
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. (There is more and more talk of the Fairness Doctrine, or taxing radio stations as much as 100% on programs that don’t include promotion of the government’s agenda.  Obama’s Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd has said that he believes Hugo Chavez does a good job handling a media.  Doesn’t that scare you?
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. (Government takeover of the largest US auto maker...the healthcare industry is obviously next on the agenda.  Once they control insurance, manufacturing and other business segments won’t be far from takeover.  Could you have imagined anything like this happening just a couple of years ago? Be honest.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (Unionization; pushing card check so employers and dissenting employees won’t have a choice about whether to be unionized.  Unions are beholden to the ruling party and vice versa.)
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. (Most of the population once lived in rural areas.  Now, most people live in cities.  The process is moving along in the “right” direction.)

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. (Free education…hmmm.  Who chooses the curriculum?  Khrushchev told Kennedy that the Soviets would not need missiles to bring communism to the U.S.; it would be done though the schools via indoctrination.  You cannot help but notice that many of the thirty-somethings are thinking in a way that was unimaginable not too long ago.  Could their education have had something to do with that?)
