Note: I am not a Communist or a Libertarian. I am sure not a Democrat or Republican. I am simply a Revolutionary.
The other day I had the Joy of meeting Michael Badnarik (U.S. Libertarian Party Candidate for 2004). He was a very smart man and as a Former Libertarian I did the stupid ass "Kids Vote" and voted for him.
Anyways I bought his book (Shoot me), and I can agree with a lot of what he said. But the problem I have with Libertarianism is that it does not keep people from poverty and other crappy things.
In Chapter 6 of his book "Good to be King", He talk about the Communist Manifesto and how Amerika relates to it.
Lets see what it says...:
1. Abolition of Private Property
America's war on drugs has prompted government agencies to establish asset forfeiture laws which allow the arresting agency to take all of the property belonging to someone suspected of being involved with drugs. Frequently the arresting agency is acting on an anonymous tip or phone call. The property is then sold at auction for a fraction of the cost, and the arresting agency keeps the money.
Whenever our government invokes eminent domain to take someone's property, they are demonstrating their lack of respect for private property and acting just like any other communist regime.
2. Heavy progressive income tax
A progressive income tax means the more money you make, the higher your percentage of tax. In the United States the IRS determines the percentage of our progressive income tax. Those percentages are included as a table with the instructions that come with your 1040 form. If you make enough money, you may be lucky enough to fall in the 50% tax bracket. The strongest slaves are lucky enough to carry the heaviest rocks.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance
If your parents die without a will the government may take half of everything your parents owned before you and your siblings are allowed to divide what's left. Even with a will the government can take a percentage. This prevents future generations within a family from accumulating a significant amount of wealth. What justifies this tax on dying?
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and Rebels
Anyone who travels internationally must declare whether he or she is carrying more then $10,000 in money, stocks, or bank notes. Friends of mine who intend to relocate to New Zealand have been told that they cannot take their money with them.
5. Central Bank
The Federal Reserve Bank is a private company and not a part of the U.S. Post Office. You can prove this for yourself by searching the blue government pages in the phone book. When you fail to find it there, try looking in the white business pages. When you control the printing of money, it doesn’t matter who controls the government. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is completely, totally, and unquestionably unconstitutional.
6. Government control of communication and transportation
The Federal Communications Commission controls all radio and television signals in the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety board, and every state department of transportation and motor vehicles control every aspect of transportation in this country. You cannot travel, ship, or broadcast anywhere in the United States without getting government approval.
7. Government ownership of factories and agriculture
Government doesn't actually own factories, but it also has no business bailing out Chrysler and savings and loan associations when they get into financial trouble. The recent collapse of Enron and WorldCom have suggested inappropriate connections with the government. The U.S. Department of Agriculture controls and regulates nearly every aspect of the food chain, from farm to table.
8. Government Control of labor
Innumerable government agencies within the United States regulate nearly every facet of every kind of business. Although there is no formal government agency that directly controls unions, they are strongly influenced by federal agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
9. Corporate farms, Regional planning
In the not-too- distant past, most farms were owned by small families. Now they are owned by large corporations and merely leased to the original tenants.
Every large city in the United States has a regional planning office. Austin, Texas, has a Planning Design Office, a Planning/Environmental and Conservation Services Department, and a planning and economic Development office. Check your phone book to find similar agencies where you live.
10. Government Control of Education
There is no point in arguing whether or not the government controls education in this country. The Democrats and Republicans are falling all over themselves claiming to be the ones who control it best.
I just posted this to see what Communists/Left Wing people think of this.
