10 Conditions For Transition To Communism
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
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.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.[8]
According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a transition from capitalism to communism.

The Communist Manifesto-- have you read it?
I have read the Communist Manifesto -- Have you?
Some question the reliability of wikipedia. Maybe so, however the startling truth is found in the Communist Manifesto itself. You better read and study it, so you know where the ideas are coming from all those nutcases out there/ These socialists and secular liberals worship these ideas and are working day and night to infiltrate our American way of life.
Until you know what the opposition says, one has no right to their opinion of whether something is good or bad.

Read it and weep -- the arguments are compelling because of their well selected choice of words are designed to appeal to the emotions of those who do not have a broad classical education. The broad classical education hasw been removed from the poor and common of American Society -- and has been reserved for the elites for this very purpose.
The elites can then manipulate the masses when the comon people do not have enough knowledge. This is why at every opportunity I emphasize the urgent need to become 'educated'. Many will say, "how can you call me 'un-educated' because I've gone to school, college and university degree!" and they take offense at my words.
The current educational model in America is designed and follows soviet style worker 'training'. The end game is only specialized 'training' in your field set and your knowledge base is 'limited'. Students are taught only 'what' to think. America has lost the individual citizen's ability to 'think' for themselves. We are suffering because most of the voters don't know "HOW" to think.
The type of education reserved for the elites consists of broad study and reading of the classics of history, science, literature, and etc. very broadly and deeply. The books that the great statesmen of our founding era were educated with are not studied and read today by the common school child!
At their core (meaning the FIRST books) most of the people learned from (up until 1920's) in the elementary years were their religious 'core' book (so either the Bible, Torah, etc) every home had their core religous book which was studied out loud as a family. Next they usually had Shakespeare (there are so many threads which are taught on relationships, human condition, cause and effect, comedy and tragedy, phrases and ideas, etc contained in the entire works of Shakespeare.) And then maybe one or two other books -- IF THAT! Yet they were broadly educated in the classics.
Lincoln is considered a great statesman. He got his "Education" first before he recieved his specialized 'training'. The books he studied until he pratically digested their content to the point of practicaly memorizing the entire book to his own memory. His books that he had at home were the Bible, Shakespeare and Euclid. Any others he had to borrow. It was many years later that he went on to get 'trained' as a laywer. The people sat for HOURS listening to the Lincolin-Douglas debates. And prior to that time the comon farmer could read the newspaper (the Federalist Papers were printed in the papers to teach the people about the content and purpose of the constitution)
Today, how many people can read or understand Shakespeare or the Federalist Papers? The few people who do manage to read/study the Federalist Papers are first year law students -- and even at that, barely scratch the surface of their content.
WE MUST GET our own, individual, broad, classical, liberal arts education so that we can know what to do to combat the infiltration of our schools and our soceity with the well crafted lies of the Communist Manifesto.
I challenge everyone to study it and compare and contrast it to the Constitution and the Federalist Papers and you will recogize where our founders intent actually was, and get a wide eyed understanding of where the political leaders of today are taking this country.
In the cause of restoring freedom,

Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the Internet. It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point. [previously listed above]
