The 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto

[Kanamori]

If it were true that these doctrines are widespread here, the communist manifesto seems to be working well; I suggest that everyone seriously considers it.

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

Hmmm.... my parents own land, my neighbors own land, and farmers own lots of land.

Abolition of all right of inheritance

... When did we lose the ability to gain inheritance?

Centralization of credit in the hands of the State by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly

The Fed doesn't control the money supply, they influence it through open-market operations and such. Money is largely created by independent banks, and they control who they will lend it to, and thus where investment is going.

Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

The government doesn't own cars, airplanes or any of those. They maintain highways and regulate some mediums of communication which are in the public domain.

Free Education for all children in public schools; abolition of children's factory labor in its present form; combination of education with industrial production

Whether or not this puts us in the same category as communism, I would venture to say that this is definitely a good thing
