Marxism is not that much different than modern day socialists gaining power. The fine line is blurred between an America run by leftist socialist and Marxism. The election of a super majority in America of a movement that holds no esteem for the founding principles of the United States of America dooms its citizens to an out lived and out of touch philosophy of Marxism. And yet this Great Nation has for the better part of 30 years allowed itself to slowly be taken by these philosophies wrapped up with pretty words and guilt laden statements that we are doing this for our children. Enslavement of a nation has been the utmost goal of many intellectual elite in this country. Change espoused by their candidates for President and the Congress isn't really change at all but regurgitated marxist socialist themes. The wearing down of our country and the laziness promoted over generations to believe that government has all the answers started within the minority ranks of citizens. A people seemingly not as wise as the intellectual elites who have been allowed to believe that just because you breath you have certain rights over all others. And yet rights in a free nation are equal and with trecherous consenquences. Taking the burning of the American flag as being free speech, it is a right of every American to have, and yet the consequence is silencing the free speech of others through intimidation, fear and the violent act itself in burning the flag. And yet somehow it is not offensive when done by an American but not only offensive, frightening, when the masses in Iran burn our flag. The equation so unbalanced.
Marxism has simple beliefs, road maps to success and they are as follows:
Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Centralization of the means of communication and transport in he hands of the state.
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.
Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
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.
Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
The question then is this... do you see this already in our "free" American society?
Politicians who believe in freedom also condem it through their moderation of principles. And that is where this country stands today in the year 2008. With an election just days away we as a society, as a free people are on the cusp of making a huge character change as a society. And then a question lingers... if we as a nation after this election realize our error, will we have the abitlity to change it back? This will take a new kind of revolution, and spilt blood may be a reality. Are we as the protectors of freedom prepared to garner our militia?
A hope, a prayer in the days leading up to the election of 2008, that God be on our side once more.
