On the Communist Manifesto By James Reed
Thanks to John Steele for this one, John being a reader of martial artist, James LaFond. Here LaFond re-reads the horrid Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels, and comments on how far the agenda has got for the US. It is almost in.

“Below are items from the Communist manifesto. I will mark in brackets how many have come to pass to determine if we are closer to Capitalism or Communism at this time, in 2021.
“These measures will, of course, be different in different countries. Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
- Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
[Not enacted]
- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
[enacted]
- Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
[not enacted]
- Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
[enacted, a basic tenet of most states central to the U.S. War on Drugs]
- Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
[enacted]
- Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
[enacted]
- 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.
[not enacted]
- Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
[enacted]
- 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.
[enacted through block-busting, suburban expansion, gentrification of rural lands]
- Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.
[enacted]
Of these 10 items key to the platform, the greatest, the central bank, had already been established in the U.S. before the establishment of the Soviet Union. The count is 7 in 10, indicating that the U.S. is at least 70% communist and 30% capitalist.
Interestingly of the three items not enacted: inheritance has been abolished only for the working and middle class, with the elites maintaining inheritances. Also, about 30% of many states lands are owned by the government and the disastrous outcome of state ownership of business has been avoided, with the state serving the capitalistic elites through regulatory attacks on small business. A rough calculation then brings the U.S. to about 80% communist, which is probably all the inefficiency the central banking system can bear. As the banking system is the economic arm of the Central Brain and friction continues to creep into the human farming system known as the U.S., expect outsourcing of systems of control to corporate entities, multinationals and foreign powers operating front corporations. It is my impression that America will not become more communist, that the maximum collectivization has been achieved and will now be used to increase the windfall of capitalism, being unfettered monopoly.
The paragraph below convinced me in this second reading that the author was not genuine, as he describes how a massive increase in state power will transform human rulers into benevolent public servants. This is like giving a gun to a strong-arm mugger and expecting him to give up robbing people. Governments were developed as sustainable pillaging mechanisms. For any man who understood the evil system of mercantile capitalism as Marx did, to suggest that increased power would transform human nature for the first time in 8,000 years is entirely incongruent.
My sense is that the following passage was written to dupe the idiot masses into laying their throats bare to the knives of the fiendish types who rise to power among nation states with painful regularity. This did facilitate well over 100 million murders of citizens by the governments of the Communist Soviet Union, China, Cuba and Cambodia alone. What follows is a brilliant piece of propaganda that helped extinguish the lives of tens of millions, making it a more effective human culling tool than the Mongol system of war. Rebooting the most lethal aspects of this idiot belief in the goodness of government should help reduce world population and leave more of the planet for the enjoyment of the elites.
“When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class. In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.”
And now, we face this communist tyranny all over again, perhaps in its final strongest form.
