There you go. Now, you look at all those points below and tell me that's not exactly what the DNC and the DSA both want. This is EXACTLY what they have been working towards for the past 100 years.

This will be good.

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

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights 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 transportation 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 obligation of all to work.  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 equable distribution of the population over the country.

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

Posts like this always pose the question as to whether the author is truly ignorant or simply malicious. The only items on your list supported by either the DNC or DSA are and 2 and 10. I would not be at all surprised to find out that today's Republicans oppose number 10. Ironically, those of you arguing for coop universities seem to be fully supporting the second sentence of number 10.

It's hard to conceive that you actually believe that the DSA, let alone the DNC, supports most of the items on this list. So, I assume that you are simply trolling.

No. I am the one singing the praises of the co-op model, and this is not the same as "free education for children in govt schools." Those in co-ops are not getting a "free" education - they are working their way through, with alternating work and academic semesters. [/quote]

Right, you are essentially supporting the "Combination of education with industrial production" part of Number 10. I'm not criticizing that, but just pointing it out as somewhat ironic.
