Communism In America
The Steps Of Communism
Step 1 – A Revolution
There must be a violent, bloody overthrow and complete destruction of the existing government.
Step 2 – A Dictator
A dictator and elite government must gain absolute control over the lower class, the rich, the middle class… well, pretty much everyone. Anyone not within the elite is called the “proletariat.” This dictator and elite government must have total power in every citizen’s personal choices, their religion, employment, education, marriage, and all their property and wealth.
Step 3 – A Utopia
A one-class system with no restrictions of class-based systems.The only restriction would be between the dictator and elite government, and everyone else. (A person could still argue that it is now a two-class system of the rich and the poor.) All non-communists have been destroyed. All citizens happily share all their wealth and property. The government would control the economy, assuring that there wouldn’t be a middle class.
The Father Of Communism
Communism is also known as Socialism. The theory of Socialism was around for hundreds of years before German philosopher Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. Before that, he wrote the “Manifesto Of The Communist Party.”
