Remember Joe McCarthy? He was right.
And the socialist/communist takeover of the United States was already well underway in his day. It is now almost fully complete. The last shoes to drop are the destruction of the 1st and 2nd amendments, which is why they are under constant attack these days.
Do you realize that property tax on land means that you do not really own your property, and that this is the very 1st "plank" in the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx? -- ie, calling for "Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes" (Source, scroll to bottom page with the 10 enumerated items). A "property tax" is a rent on the land. The true owner ("landlord") of the land is the government/state, and if you don't pay your rent (property tax), then the government confiscates the land.
Oh, and look, the 2nd "plank" of the Communist Manifesto calls for a "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax". Sound familiar? Now does it make sense why property taxes and income tax were foisted upon the American people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries?
See here for quick overview how the other 10 planks have been implemented in the USA. In addition to making you a slave by abolishing private property and taxing you to death, the rest of the stated agenda by Marx and Engels involved transferring power to the government/State over all key areas of society -- including banking, transportation, communication, land use, agriculture, and education. This has been achieved in the United States, and also now includes a socialist health care system.
And communism is not a benevolent plan intended to create a "utopia" for the working masses. Quite the opposite. It is a malevolent system to establish totalitarian control of the population, confiscation and transfer of wealth to the elite who run the system, and mass murder of those who resist. If anyone doubts that, just look at the fruits of communism wherever it is implemented -- eg, the history of the Soviet Union (60+ million mass murdered by the government), communist China (60-80 million murdered), Cambodia under Pol Pot, etc.
Modern "leftist" movements the world over are all ideologically based in Marxist ideology. Over the last century, and especially since the 1950s, Marxist ideologues have taken over the press/media, Hollywood, the universities, and many other areas of power and influence in America and the Western world.
Another important aspect of Marxism is its extreme hostility to Christianity. Marx, of course, said that religion was the "opium of the people". And in the Soviet Union, China, and other nations where the communists have taken power, atheism is established as the official state religion. This is why Leftists fanatically attack the Christian religion and values-- including abolishing prayer in schools, promoting acceptance of homosexuality, legalization of abortion, passing "hate speech" laws to prevent Christians and conservatives from being able to speak out, etc.
The full truth is that communism is a Satanic agenda. Karl Marx was actually a practicing Satanist (in secret), as documented in this book. By the way, top communist Saul Alinsky wrote a dedication to Lucifer in the acknowledgement section of his book "Rules for Radicals".
