Karl Marx describes in his Communist Manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of unlimited government power, so as to effect a communist socialist state.

America has been increasingly adopting more of Marx’s ideals, sometimes more subtle than other times, yet sometimes rather openly.  Whether it’s political change or social change like in cultural Marxism, we have witnessed the long march through our institutions to embrace Marxism.

Many have argued the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt began the movement toward Marxism in large scale.

More recently, President Obama openly suggested Marxist ideologies and surrounded himself with numerous outspoken Marxists. Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. [Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in the Media] Obama was later endorsed by the Communist Party USA in his run for President of the United States.

In 2006, Obama endorsed openly Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders. How he lost to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democrat nomination has been speculated by many to be the result of election fraud.  Nonetheless, an increasingly large proportion of the American public embrace Marxism/Socialism.

The Black Lives Matter movement fully embraces the 10 Planks of Communism as do related organizations like Antifa and Refuse Fascism. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation.  Make no mistake about it… Black Lives Matter is NOT about racism or police brutality.  It is a movement co-opted by Communists, as described by Manning Johnson, using race as a divide and conquer tactic in their efforts to make the United States a Communist state. Their support and funding comes from a Thousand Currents and the George Soros funded Tides Foundation.

An Axios/Harris Poll online survey found that 37% of Americans would prefer to live in a socialist country. In a Fox News survey of registered voters, 25% had a favorable view of socialism. A new Zogby Analytics online poll found a similar result: 29% of likely voters had a positive view.

American Marxism Mark Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture-from our schools, the press, and corporations, to Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency-and how it is often cloaked in deceptive labels like “progressivism,” “democratic socialism,” “social activism,” and more. With his characteristic trenchant analysis, Levin digs into the psychology and tactics of these movements, the widespread brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of Critical Race Theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship to silence opposing voices and enforce conformity. Levin exposes many of the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists who are leading this revolution, and provides us with some answers and ideas on how to confront them.

Following are the original ten planks within the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, followed by a discussion of how America has adopted each of the planks.

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.

The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868) to give the government far more “eminent domain” power than was originally intended. Under the rubric of “eminent domain” and various zoning regulations, land use regulations by the Bureau of Land Management property taxes, and “environmental” excuses, private property rights have become very diluted.  As a result, private property in lands, vehicles, and other forms are seized almost every day in this country under the “forfeiture” provisions of the RICO statutes and the so-called War on Drugs.

Then, there’s the unconstitutional red flag laws states are passing that empowers authorities to confiscate guns from law abiding citizens.

Private owners of property are required to get permission from government relative to the use of their property. Those who do hold property are required to pay taxes on that property in order to keep it.

The NAIS, run by a branch of the USDA, considers “your” animals to be NOT yours, but part of “the national herd.”  If they can force you to register your farm and your animals, you do not own them. They own them because they control them. You are only inventorying property & animals for their true owner, the federal government.

Non-payment of taxes results in fines, imprisonment, and confiscation of the property.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), the Social Security Act of 1936, Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933, and various State income taxes established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago. These progressive taxes have replaced tithing for many and continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary increases. The income tax requires of us that we serve two masters in violation of Matt. 6:24; requires of us that we rob God in violation of Mal. 3:8; requires of us that commit idolatry in violation of Ex. 20:3; requires of us to use unjust weights and measures in violation of Lev. 19:35-36; and requires us to sign contracts with foreign and alien gods in violation of Ex. 23:32-33.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Another Marxist attack on private property rights is in the form of Federal & State estate taxes and other inheritance taxes, which have abolished or at least greatly diluted the right of private property owners to determine the disposition and distribution of their estates upon their death.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

We call it government seizures, tax liens, “forfeiture” Public “law” 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; and the IRS confiscation of property without due process. The U.S. government is preparing now for a massive confiscation of property of patriots who speak out or write against the “government” (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill).

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.

In the U.S., all electronic communication (mass media) is controlled and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established by the Communications Act of 1934. Transportation is controlled and regulated by the Department of Transportation and the Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887), and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders 11490, 10999 — not to mention various state bureaucracies and regulations including State mandated driver’s licenses. Federal Highway Act of 1916 made federal funds available to States for highway construction), the Interstate Highway System, 1944 (funding began 1956); Interstate Commerce Commission given authority by Congress to regulate trucking and carriers on inland waterways, 1935-40. There is also the federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL — outright socialist (government-owned) enterprises. Instead of free-market private enterprise in these important industries, these fields in America are semi-cartels through the governments regulatory-industrial complex.

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.

We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. The Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 provided that farmers will receive government aid if and only if they relinquish control of farming activities.

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

We call it Social Security, a social welfare scheme that takes the place of strict liability (Ex. 21:28-36) and individual responsibility and violates the 10th Commandment by appealing to our lust and greed. Some may call this income redistribution, but the Bible calls it covetousness and theft in violation of Ex. 20:15-17. This and other social programs have enslaved us and future generations with a National debt that can never be repaid and inflation caused by the Federal Reserve has caused the need for a two “income” family.

The Department of Labor and it’s seen in Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. Woman in the workplace since the 1920’s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. And I almost forgot…The Equal Rights Amendment means that women should do all work that men do including the military and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

We call it Agenda 21, the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public “law” 89-136. Food processing companies, with the co-operation of the Farmers Home Administration foreclosures, are buying up farms and creating “conglomerates.”

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.

Americans are being taxed to support what we call ‘public’ schools, but are actually “government force-tax-funded schools“. Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. From Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton to Elizabeth Warren, Communist influenced lawmakers are increasingly calling for free education for all.  Whether it’s the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based Education, the Marxist agenda is evident. The federal influence of education is evident in “head-start” programs, school lunch programs, “no child left behind”, textbooks, and library books. Our children are being indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like “majority rules”, and “pay your fair share”. WHERE are the words “fair share” in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)? NO WHERE is “fair share” even suggested! The philosophical concept of “fair share” comes from the Communist maxim, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need!” This concept is pure socialism.
