Although Marx advocated the use of any means, especially including violent revolution, to bring about socialist dictatorship, he suggested ten political goals for developed countries such as the United States. How far has the United States -- traditionally the bastion of freedom, free mar ets, and private property -- gone down the Marxist road to fulfill these socialist aims! "ou be the #udge. $he following are Marx%s ten plan s from his Communist Manifesto.

1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to p blic p rpose.
The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868) to give the government far more "eminent domain" po er than as origina!!" intended# Under the ru$ric of "eminent domain" and various %oning regu!ations# !and use regu!ations $" the &ureau of 'and (anagementpropert" ta)es# and "environmenta!" e)cuses# private propert" rights have $ecome ver" di!uted and private propert" in !andis# vehic!es# and other forms are sei%ed a!most ever" da" in this countr" under the "forfeiture" provisions of the *+C, statutes and the soca!!ed .ar on /rugs..

&. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution# 1011 ( hich some scho!ars maintain as never proper!" ratified)# and various State income ta)es# esta$!ished this ma2or (ar)ist coup in the United States man" decades ago. These ta)es continue to drain the !ife$!ood out of the American econom" and great!" reduce the accumu!ation of desperate!" needed capita! for future gro th# $usiness starts# 2o$ creation# and sa!ar" increases.

!. Abolition of all ri"hts of inheritance.

Another (ar)ian attac3 on private propert" rights is in the form of 4edera! 5 State estate ta)es and other inheritance ta)es# hich have a$o!ished or at !east great!" di!uted the right of private propert" o ners to determine the disposition and distri$ution of their estates upon their death. +nstead# government $ureaucrats get their greed" hands invo!ved .

#. $onfiscation of the property of all emi"rants and rebels.

%. $entrali&ation of credit in the hands of the state' by means of a national ban( with state capital and an excl sive monopoly.
The 4edera! *eserve S"stem# created $" the 4edera! *eserve Act of Congress in 1011# is indeed such a "nationa! $an3" and it po!itica!!" manipu!ates interest rates and ho!ds a monopo!" on !ega! counterfeiting in the United States.

). $entrali&ation of the means of comm nication and transportation in the hands of the state.
+n the U.S.# communication and transportation are contro!!ed and regu!ated $" the 4edera! Communications Commission (4CC) esta$!ished $" the Communications Act of 1014 and the /epartment of Transportation and the +nterstate Commerce Commission (esta$!ished $" Congress in 1888)# and the 4edera! Aviation Administration as e!! as ;)ecutive orders 11409# 19000 -- not to mention various state $ureaucracies and regu!ations. There is a!so the federa! posta! monopo!"# A(T*A? and C,@*A+' -- outright socia!ist (government-o ned) enterprises. +nstead of free-mar3et private enteprrise in these important industries# these fie!ds in America are semi-carte!i%ed through the governmentAs regu!ator"industira! comp!e).

*. +xtension of factories and instr ments of prod ction owned by the state, the brin"in" into c ltivation of waste lands' and the improvement of the soil "enerally in accordance with a common plan.

So, is the U.S. a 'free country' today! Hardly( )ot compared to what it once was. "et, very few Americans today challenge these Marxist institutions, and there are virtually no politicians calling for their repeal or even gradual phase-out. *hile the United States of America may still have more freedoms than most other countries, we have nonetheless lost many crucial liberties and have accepted the ma#or socialist attac s on freedom and private property as normal parts of our way of life. $he nation, whose founders included such individualists as $homas +efferson, ,eorge Mason, +ames Madison, +ohn Adams and -atric Henry, has gradually turned away from the principles of individual rights, limited constitutional government, private property, and free mar ets and instead we increasingly have embraced the failed ideas and nostrums of socialism and fascism. *e should hang our heads in shame for having allowed this to happen. .ut, it is not too late to reverse these pernicious burdens and instead enact pro-freedom reforms to put our nation bac on trac again. /t can be done.

/n some ways the 0eft has a head start over us on the profreedom 1ight. $he enemies of American freedom do admittedly dominate the entertainment industry, television news media, and academia -- but we have the tremendous strategic advantage that reality 2including man%s nature3 is on our side4 so, unli e the socialists and 'liberals' 2welfare-state fascists3, we are not in the position of having to advocate a system which constantly tries to 'ma e water to go uphill' -- or force human beings into a rigid utopian stait#ac et based on the whims of some cli5ue of central planning bureaucrats. *e now that individual freedom for peaceful people within a constitutional republic wor s in practice4 our country%s history demonstrates that. $he piecemeal abandonment of those principles and institutions which once made America great has proved to be a a dead-end road to failure. $hat is why / tend to be a long-term optimist even though things often loo pretty glum in the meantime. +ust as -rohibition was eventually repealed, / feel encouraged that such ey statist achievements as the income tax, government schools, fiat money6central ban ing 2the 7ederal 1eserve3, 'environmentalist' regulations, property forfeiture laws, and other Marxist plan s and leftist institutions can be rolled bac and repealed altogether, although it may ta e several decades. $hose who would carry forward the ideas and principles of selfownership, private property, free mar ets, laisse8 faire, the rule of law, and constitutionalism which informed America%s founders must become more active on the ey ideological battle fronts. *e need more influence not #ust in politics, but in areas of entertainment, academia, #ournalism, thin tan s, churches 2we need our own individualist *alter 1auschenbushes3, literature, art, and other venues of expression and activism.

Marxism and socialism have proved to be colossal failures all over the world. As 7rederic .astiat wrote in his classic The Law #ust prior to his death, 'let us now try liberty'(
