Occupy: a communist movement?

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. These two German political philosophers are credited with authoring what has been described as one of the most influential political manuscripts in the world. They predicted the “evils” of capitalism would be eventually replaced by communism. Marx also developed a “test” to see if a country was practicing communism. This test consisted of 10 planks.
I’ve written a couple of articles in my series on the Occupy Las Vegas movement and in this one, I wanted to focus on my biggest disagreement with the Occupy Las Vegas movement and it ties in with the 10 planks of communism. The list of redresses against the government has been taken down the Occupy Las Vegas and replaced with a request for resolution to be delivered to the City Councils and Commissioners of the various local entities.
One of the redresses was the forgiveness of student loans and free education. Free education is the tenth planks of communism. The state controls the educational content and uses it much like the former Soviet Union or modern China to indoctrinate the young to reinforce the communist ideals. Another redress was the increased regulation of the banking industry. A central bank and the centralization of credit is the fifth plank of communism. Government spending in the infrastructure and transportation of the country, which the Occupy crowd favors, is the sixth plank. The seventh plank of Marx’s test is the state control of the means of production, which if you have the government guarantee full employment, they will have to control and that would include the eighth plank, which is equal liability of all labor. The Occupy movement has been pushing for “the rich” to pay their “fair” share (no one can seem to explain what is fair), or a heavily progressive income tax and no surprise that happens to be the second plank of communism. Protestors have started occupying foreclosed homes and private parks, private businesses and private homes showing a total disregard of private property rights. Karl Marx’s first plank of communism is the abolishment of private property. That is seven out of the ten planks from the Communist Manifesto that the Occupy Las Vegas movement was pushing. I would have liked to copy their redress of grievances before it changed to their resolution to the local governments to see if they were promoting the last three which is the confiscation of property from emigrants and rebels, a heavy inheritance tax and finally the equal distribution of people throughout the country. I feel safe to say that if you are for a progressive tax, you probably support the inheritance tax and the confiscation of property of emigrants and rebels. It would not surprise me if they supported the equalization of population density.
This is my major problem with the Occupy Las Vegas group and from what I’ve seen, most of the Occupy movements across the country. They claim to be for the working man and the union, but then they shut down a port keeping a couple hundred middle class union workers from earning their pay. They claim the government is broken and the only way to fix it is to give them more power and let them try and fix the problem they created. They complain about the 1%, but have leadership groups compromising a small percentage of the movement controlling the resources of the “people” or the collective. They are pushing for government control over our lives. From the indoctrination of the young, to the government career that’s selected for you and even where you live and what you use for transportation. Communism has failed everywhere it has been tried and I really don’t want to see the United States of America turn into the United Socialist States of America. Both the Communist Manifesto and Rules for Radicals calls to incite class warfare to bring about a revolution, to make the poor and middle class hate the wealthy and convince them that what they have should be distributed to the people. American guarantees equal opportunity, not equal results. America is for the individual, where you are only limited by your imagination, not stifled by government rules and regulations.
