Do you recognize some, if not all, of the modern socialist (Labour) party in the Uk currently headed by Kier Starmer?
Communist Manifesto Steps
10 steps outlined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the Communist Manifesto (1848):
- Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes: This step involves the confiscation of private land ownership and the redistribution of land rents to the public sphere.
- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax: Marx advocates for a progressive tax system where the wealthy are taxed at a higher rate than the poor.
- Abolition of all right of inheritance: This step eliminates the right to inherit property, wealth, or titles, aiming to break the cycle of aristocratic privilege.
- Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels: Marx suggests that the state should seize the property of those who flee the country or engage in rebellion against the government.
- Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state: This step involves the nationalisation of banks and financial institutions, allowing the state to control the flow of credit and capital.
- Centralisation of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state: Marx advocates for state ownership and control of communication and transportation infrastructure, such as railroads, telegraphs, and postal services.
- Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state: This step involves the nationalisation of industries and factories, allowing the state to control the means of production and distribution.
- Equal liability of all to labour: Marx proposes that all citizens, regardless of social class or occupation, should be equally liable to perform labor for the benefit of society.
- Free education for all children in public schools: This step involves the establishment of a comprehensive public education system, providing free education to all children.
- Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form and combination of education with industrial production: Marx aims to eliminate child labor in factories and instead combine education with industrial production, allowing children to receive vocational training and education while also contributing to the economy.
It’s essential to note that these steps are part of Marx’s vision for a transitional phase between capitalism and communism, which he called socialism. The ultimate goal is to establish a classless, stateless, and communist society.
