The Right wants to keep this country the way it is and hate change. They live in the 19th century

[kaz]

Communists & "Progressives"...... Same Thing

Not in theory. But in reality, you're right. It's the same people

 

[kaz]

Why do they want to keep it this way, simple this is how the perceive this country, Right now the controllers of the regressive party are more then happy, they have achieved what they wanted. All the new wealth of this country in the last 30+ years has gone to the top top tier, while at the same time putting the middle class and poor deeper and deeper in dept to guess who. It's to a point now that people are feeding their families with credit card debt.
I'll remind you people that capitalism can't exist without the promise of advancement, the ability to get ahead. That is the promise of this country. Without it we will implode from the inside.
How is this done, tax policy. What did they expect would happen when The worst president in our History Reagan, gave us the trickle down lie. How about changing the upper tier tax level from 72 to 28% what did they think was going to happen. This , what is happening now, is what they thought was going to happen ,a trickle up economy that moves every increased wealth of this country to the top. Thats what Reagan wanted and he has achieved that.

The potential for a better future is quickly evaporating in America, thanks to Global Socialist expansion.

Great another one You haven't a clue what communism , socialism or Marxism is-----------------your a bull shitter---------------------Ok Einstein Go to google ,google a trusted encyclopedia get the main tenets of Communism bring that back and tell us all why by those tenets how I'm a communist or my party or the president is a communist.

If we're the ones who don't "have a clue" what Communist is, why are you the one who can't specify how you are not one?

 

[jbander]

Right, we're the party of hate. You mean the same party Hil-Liar referred to as the basket of deplorable's?

PRECISELY..Hillary is right in target.....
YOU'll have to choose which 50% of your party you wish to belong with.

Us real Americans are all deplorables....

Yes that is true, if you are part of what elected Trump as your candidate , you are the hate party, automatically. there is no hiding from it, although there seems to be a large group of people saying they aren't part of the regressive party now for some reason.

10 planks of communism by Karl Marx

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

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: This is where eminent domain comes into the picture, and even property taxes. Once you own your property outright by paying off your mortgage, you still don’t technically own it because the government could jack up property taxes so high that it makes it unaffordable to remain.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: Marginal tax rates increasing as income goes up IS a graduated income tax. This is in opposition to a more fair tax like a national sales tax or flat tax where a person is not taxed at a higher rate the more income they earn.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: In the U.S. these can be seen as estate taxes (i.e. the death tax).


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

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: This is nothing more than government seizures, IRS property confiscation and the 1997 Crime/Terrorist bill which calls for the imprisonment of terrorists (not such a bad thing), but also for those who speak out against the government. Your LIFE is the most valuable property you have, but the government has the right to take it away because of things that you may say. Consider Senate Bill 3081, the “Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010,” co-sponsored by Sens. John McCain and Joe Lieberman. The following is actual text from the bill that explains what a belligerent may be and the reasons they can be detained without due process: “(A) The potential threat the individual poses for an attack on civilians or civilian facilities within the United States or upon United States citizens or United States civilian facilities abroad at the time of capture or when coming under the custody or control of the United States… (B) The potential threat the individual poses to United States military personnel or United States military facilities at the time of capture or when coming under the custody or control of the United States…. (C) The potential intelligence value of the individual… (D) Membership in al-Qaida or in a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaida… (E) Such other matters as the president considers appropriate. . .” [THIS IS WHERE THERE IS A MAJOR, MAJOR PROBLEM] This is very subjective and could include a multitude of things – even just disagreements on policy!



5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: This is an easy one. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created the Federal Reserve, and now the government owns many of the country’s largest banks via bailout money. Government control of private industry is just a polite way of saying FASCISM!!!!

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: The FAA, FCC, and the ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission) are all government entities that propose to regulate how we travel and what is said. There is nothing particularly disturbing about this now, but what about in the future? Could the government shut down communication or transportation for various people groups? Yes, they could pretty much do whatever they want. There is no competition here. There is no free market private entity as a choice. I thought the government made monopolies illegal? Oh, that’s right they did, except for where they have a monopoly.

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.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: Recent events have made this one very disturbing. On June 9, 2011 President Obama signed into law Executive Order 13575 in which the intent is to seize greater power over “food, fiber, and energy.” A great article explaining this was written by Raven Clabough and posted on the New American website.

8. Equal obligation of all to work and the establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: Because of high inflation and higher taxes our society has been thrust into a dual income family at the minimum. In many instances both husband and wife have multiple jobs.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

Dr. Elliott’s Comment: I am not qualified to answer this question, as I don’t really know of any combination of the two industries. In fact it seems what we have in this country is opposite as there seems to be a corralling of people into the urban areas. However, Executive Order 13575 mentioned in Plank 7 may be related to this.

10. Free education for all children in government schools and abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form – combination of education with industrial production, etc.

Thank you , other then a make believe Fox driven Idea that we fit into any of this your nuts, Government owns all business, government set wages, government owns all natural resources. government tell business what they have to make. Forced labor, Government owns and controls all aspects of communication and all aspects of production. No inheritance allowed, it goes to the state. I suppose your hanging you hat on the fact that we have a progressive tax policy that makes us a Commie, other then every country being communist then. Only a blind idiot would think that that list has anything at all to do with us. You think because we have social programs that can somehow make us a communist country. You people are ignorant and thanks for proving that we aren't. By the way this countries actions being part of anything you list is nothing and your imagination that we fit into any of that shows how blind you people.

Despite all the fur flying, you still can't say any plank of the Communist Manifesto you disagree with ...

Why do they want to keep it this way, simple this is how the perceive this country, Right now the controllers of the regressive party are more then happy, they have achieved what they wanted. All the new wealth of this country in the last 30+ years has gone to the top top tier, while at the same time putting the middle class and poor deeper and deeper in dept to guess who. It's to a point now that people are feeding their families with credit card debt.

Dude, you're not supposed to swallow the whole Communist Manifesto in one bite. If you don't choke, you'll get indigestion. Slow down and chew your propaganda

Ok goody, right now I'm going to show you people how stupid you are, This clown has no clue what a communist, socialist or Marxist is. Ok Einstein Go to google ,google a trusted encyclopedia get the main tenets of Communism bring that back and tell us all why by those tenets how I'm a communist or my party or the president is a communist.By the way bring the sight address with you You people have nothing but bullshit and this will prove it.

Tell me what plank in the Communist manifesto you oppose. Every one of you whiners ... waah, you called me a Communist ... fails to be able to answer that question. Most of you just run away at the question. What about you?

You have no Idea what a communist is , you have no clue what a Marxist is and you have no clue what a socialist is. You got nothing but bullshit. You brought this us so fess up that you don't have a clue ----------------------

You say I don't know what a Communist is, then you ask me to tell you!!!

What an idiot. That's why you don't know you're a Communist, you don't like the word ... and you don't know what it means.

BTW, who is "us all," Queen Elizabeth? The question was to you

Ok like a normal Regressive brain dead he called me a commie, so I said this Ok goody, right now I'm going to show you people how stupid you are, This clown has no clue what a communist, socialist or Marxist is. Ok Einstein Go to google ,google a trusted encyclopedia get the main tenets of Communism bring that back and tell us all why by those tenets how I'm a communist or my party or the president is a communist.By the way bring the sight address with you You people have nothing but bullshit and this will prove it. and he came back with this . What part of the communist manifesto don't I like. I told you I would show how stupid regressives are. I had one response which simply proved we weren't communist , socialist or Marxist. What Kas did is he went and looked at the definition, found out that he didn't have a clue what a commie was and came back and instead of responding , showing of course that he doesn't have a clue, He comes back with "what part of the communist manifesto don't I believe in" Kas is a loser .

[bendog]

Higher taxes, for economic growth !!! Lmfao

It's indisputable that the GI bill did more to fuel the post-WWII econ boom, and added more % to gnp, than anything we've ever done. Likewise, both the Ike's highway bill and JFK's embrace of space, brought us infrastructure that STILL fuel growth.

The problem isn't taxes. And never has been. The problem is spending on programs that don't actually result in people becoming more productive or provide infrastructure

The fallacy of the post-Reagan gop is we prefer not to tax capital than to pursue policies proven to help the middle class. And the dems are basically in the game of paying non-earners for votes.

Even a moron like you would NOT associate these communist tenets with the progressive movement....

It's automatic , they say your a commie and they automatically don't know what the meaning is.

[LogikAndReazon]

The Communist Party USA is of and for the U.S. working class. Our U.S. working class is multiracial and multinational. It unites men and women, young and old, gay and straight, native-born and immigrant, urban and rural. We are employed and unemployed, organized and unorganized, and of all occupations – the vast majority of our society. We are a party of the African-American, Mexican-American, Caribbean, Central and South American, Native American, Middle Eastern, Central, South and East Asian and Pacific Islanders, and all racially and nationally oppressed peoples, as well as women, youth, and all other working people.

The roots of the Communist Party extend deep into our nation’s soil, even far beyond our founding in Chicago in 1919. We build on the legacy of those who fought against slavery, for the right to organize unions, for civil rights and for women’s vote and reproductive rights. We apply the scientific outlook developed by Marx, Engels, Lenin and others in the context of U.S. history, culture and traditions.

The need for the Communist Party is as great as ever. Capitalism has cast billions of people around the world into poverty. It afflicts humanity with endless wars. It institutionalizes racism and women’s oppression, denies youth the hope of a future, and fuels discrimination against gay, lesbian and transgender people, religious minorities, immigrants and people with disabilities. Capitalism pits worker against worker in a global race to the bottom. Corporate interests wage a never-ending campaign to roll back people’s hard-won democratic rights. Capitalism’s insatiable drive for profits has poisoned the Earth’s land, sea, and air. Capitalism treats people and nature as disposable commodities in order to transfer the wealth of the planet to a handful of multi-billionaires.

Our basic principles are rooted in today’s struggles, informed by our history and experience, and guided by our scientific outlook and vision of socialism. Our bedrock principles include the leading role of the working class in the struggle for social change; that working class unity is essential, and the fight against racism and for immigrant rights are essential to build that unity.

In solidarity with working people around the world, we stand in opposition to U.S. imperialism – the system by which U.S. corporations use their economic power, along with the political and military power of our government, to exploit workers, pillage the environment and corrupt governments around the world just as they do here at home.

Our vision is one of “Bill-of-Rights socialism” in the USA, where working people – those who produce all the riches of society – will have political power and will collectively decide priorities for investment and distribution of our nation’s wealth – for education, health care, housing, nutrition, recreation, arts, culture and science in a clean, non-polluting economy.
Our organizational practices are based on democracy, equality, unity of action and transparency. We do not set ourselves apart from the rest of the working class movement and organizations; we have no private agenda, no special interests. We welcome all who share our goals to join us or work together in alliance.

With pride in our past, and with confidence in our working class and its future, we hereby establish the Constitution of the Communist Party of the United States......CPUSA

Think about your democrats buy vote routine, they would support the needy no matter what, it's their philosophy, and they are the party of the poor. part of their philosophy and they are the party of minorities, part of their philosophy. So is it because of their philosophy or to buy the votes. What is different between what the democrats do as compared to the buying of votes by regressives promising tax cuts for everyone, even though we are what 17 trillion in dent.

So your answer to my question what planks of the Communist Manifesto you oppose is I need to go research Communism and explain it to you because I don't know what it is, which is why you can't answer the question.

How simple can I make the question? What ... planks ... of ... the ... Communist ... Manifesto ... do ... you ... oppose? Simplest freaking question in the world. You say you know what one is, and you're not one. But you don't how why? Seriously? That's your answer?
