Whose Manifesto?
 


Quoted from the Communist Manifesto: (Available at www.manifesto.org)

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty
generally
applicable:

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to
public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

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

5. Centralisation of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a
national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands
of the State.

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.

8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies,
especially for agriculture.

9. 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.

10. 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.

"I have found a certain type calls himself a Liberal...Now I always thought
I was a Liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that
I was a Right-Wing Conservative Extremist, when I listened to everybody's
point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this
so-called new Liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of
view..." - John Wayne
