1 The First Plank is relatively simple: Abolition of property in land, and application of all rents of land to public purposes
2 Moving on to the Second Plank, we read: A heavy progressive, or graduated, income tax.
3 The Third Plank is also a fairly short one: Abolition of all right of inheritance
4 Going to the Fourth Plank, we read: Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels
5 Looking at the Fifth Plank, we read: Centralization of credit in the hands of the State by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly
6 Going to the Sixth Plank, we find: Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7 Now, the Seventh Plank is a bit more complex: 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 The Eighth Plank reads: Equal liability of all to labor, establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture
9 The Eighth Plank reads: Equal liability of all to labor, establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture
10 At last we reach the tenth Plank: Free Education for all children in public schools; abolition of children's factory labor in its present form; combination of education with industrial production
Seems to me weve got at least 9 out of ten of these in the US now.
