Are you anticommunist/anti-Marxist?

[ag]

I am surprised so many are anticommunist.  If we take the The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto of 1848

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.

It seems to me that the mainstream and for sure center-left parts if the Dem party are for most of what is above with even a good part of the GOP are for or at least accepted some of the above.

Except for points 2 and 10, which ones would anybody accept these days? Well, I guess 9 - though it is pretty meaningless at this point. The rest would be completely out of the mainstream not only in the US, but pretty much in every other sane place.

Politically - of course, I am an anti-Communist (with the sole exception of Israel - and that is something I particularly dislike Israel for )  I have been an anti-Communist since long before many of you guys were born

But the way the question has been formulated makes it sound unnecessarily ridiculous. I have no clue what the poster means by "social Marxism" or whatever.  It is also strange to be an "anti-Marxist" in an academic sense in a field in which Marx is a chapter in the History of Thought textbook: I am also not anti-Bohm-Bawerkian or anti-Smithian or whatever. Using "Marxism" or "Communism" as all-purpose cuss-words is not particularly enlightening. Hope we are not about to set a moderatorial committee on Unamerican Activities here
