Communists Takeover

To people like the OP 'Communism' means any sort of control by the capitalist state of anything at all. They or their grandparents were brainwashed under the McCarthy dictatorship and haven't thought since.

Commies got a bad name awhile back, so they learned how to hijack other names like progressives, democrats, libertarians, GOP, Republican, etc. They never stopped being commies, they just used new names.

What similar policies do commies and libertarians support?

At the link we are urged: in addition to reading this, the 45 communist goals, click here to read The 10 Planks of Karl Marx.

So I did, and here they are, the Evil Ten!
https://www.beliefnet.com/columnist...-of-10-planks-of-the-communist-manifesto.html

1. Abolition of private property in land.

2. A heavy progressive income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants.

5. Centralization of credit by means of a national bank.

6. Centralization of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

7. Extension of instruments of production owned by the state.

8. Equal obligation of all to work.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries(?)

10. Free education for all children in government schools, and abolition of children’s factory labor.


OMG, America has got all of those, even the abolition of children's factory labor!

Attempting to isolate libertarians from the rest of the commies is stupid, since political identifiers have been hijacked by commies. You have to talk to them or read what they have to say in order to see which of the two sides they are on. When somebody identifies as a libertarian, remember that there are men identifying as girls. That "libertarian" might have been one of the commies who stayed home for the 2016 election and failed to ensure that we get conservative Scotus picks.

No, I said some of their goals are normal under American culture. Communists and Neo-Nazis both have political parties here. It's not because America is secretly run by Communists and Neo-Nazis. It's because this is a free country where anyone is allowed to have a political party. Would you rather the government ban political parties it didn't agree with like Stalin used to?

I bet these are some of the ones you figure are normally accepted in America.....
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

Wow, talk about semantics. But sure, I'll stand by that. Most of the things that were supposedly accomplished by Communists are really just part of American freedom.
I know cucksaders like you don't believe much in freedom, but here in America, we believe anyone has the right to start a political party. Even Commies.

*yawn*

really?....because where I come from "gaining control of" is the exact opposite of freedom.......

Are Republicans and Democrats not both trying to gain control? Welcome to a democracy. We have a government where people fight for control, and the public gets to vote on who they think should have power.

I hate to think what it would be like if America didn't have communism!

Are you eyeballing somebody else's wealth? It's natural to be eyeballing other people's wives, but we don't need to actually steal other people's stuff or do other people's wives. My inner lefty has envied what others have too, I understand.

It is amazing how many of those goals have been accomplished. It's almost like somebody time traveled back to 1963 from 2019 and described what is happening now.

Bogus

Take #17, "Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks."

How does, or did, any Communist entity ever get control of the schools? Education is under the control of the individual States, so you are saying all fifty States are run by Communists?

This is John Birch type bullshit, updated to generalize to today. I remember being a kid and one of their top conspiracies then was that adding fluoride to the drinking water was a Communist plot to destroy the minds of the American children
