The Liberal/Marxist Checklist

"Democracy is the road to Socialism." -- Karl Marx

Democrats are the Party of 1848, the year that Karl Marx published The Communist Manifesto. These are the tenets of Karl Marx. Notice how the road to socialism is paved with good liberal intentions:

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 transport 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 liability 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.

How fitting that the father of the Democrat Party, Andrew Jackson, was heavily involved in taking land from natives and marching them beyond the Mississippi River. A dishonest man whose friends used a flag of truce to capture Native leaders, march them to a Federal prison in South Carolina to be killed. Liberals always portray themselves as concerned people. Liberals are concerned, FOR THEMSELVES.
