Karl Marx was stating in the Communist Manifesto that these planks will test whether a country has become communist or not. If they are all in effect and in force the country IS communist. Communism, but by any other name鈥??
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school %26amp; property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management.

Did you know the fabian socialist, both republican and democrat have changed the USA to a communist country?
I see where you are pointing out Socialist ideologies slowly permeating the USA but that does not mean it is Communism. There is a difference. Communism intended for all lands to be PUBLICLY owned, not state-controlled. Also, %26quot;Communism embraced a revolutionary ideology in which the state would wither away after the overthrow of the capitalist system. In practice, however, the State grew to control all aspects of communist society.%26quot; - Oxford dictionary
This means that the idea was implemented improperly and what most people refer to as %26quot;communism%26quot; is based on Russia's model and those that followed, which are bastardizations of the original idea.
However, the US is becoming a %26quot;police state%26quot; for sure and the Patriot Act, etc. merely accelerate it and when Americans finally do realize it, it will be interesting to see the reaction.

Ummmm, Yeah, right. You my friend have way to much time on your hands. Why don't you get a job or go back to school? At least this way you'll be doing something positive and productive at the same time.
