Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about.
I see no difference between Republicans, TEA Party members, rightie independents and Satan.
The C*******t Party of the USA (CPUSA) regarded the re-e******n of Barack Obama of huge importance. I just read it recently and if anyone doubts this just do a web search on CPUSA. I do not know if CPUSA endorsed him in 2008 but just the 2012 endorsement tells me a lot.
The following is directly from Karl Marx's Manifesto -
"These measures will, of course, be different in different countries.
Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and t***sport in the hands of the state.
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.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
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.
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. "
I once was part of a group that had primarily, about a dozen, progressives. When challenged to reject a single one of the above planks, only two rejected a single one. When challenged to reject another, not one did. I did this as an academic exercise.
I state with little reservation that few Democrats, liberals, progressives in this country will reject more than one & that if he does, he is likely not a true Democrat, libaral, progressive. This and the endorsement of Barack Obam by CPUSA has convinced me that the Democratic Party is essentially Marxist.
Further, all of these planks are in effect to some degree in this country, leading me to conclude that this country is socialist/c*******t to a great degree.
Unfortunately, the Republicans don't have the gumption to point these things out and would not repeal a single plank anyway. Although I am a Republican, it is only because of Ron Paul's candidacies and I hold no hope out for us. We'll collapse just like the USSR, and with a similar thud.
