| A Tale of Two Warnings: Orwell's 1984 Comes True in Martin's Fabian Freeway |
| 2025-12-20 |
| [New American] Following is a combined review of Fabian Freeway: High Road to Socialism in the U.S.A. 1884-1966 by Rose L. Martin and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, both available from Western Islands Publishing. If the United States is truly a free country as we like to boast, then why is our political landscape a better example of the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto than the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution? Our income tax fulfills the second plank’s call for a "heavy progressive or graduated income tax." The Federal Reserve embodies the fifth plank, which demands "centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly." Plank 10, "free education for all children in public schools," perfectly describes the modern system that daily indoctrinates our youth. Property taxes and bureaucratic strangleholds fulfill most of the other seven provisions that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels proposed in order to transition nations from capitalism into communism. |
