    the fun part is that in context it's a list of short term, immediate demands that should be made of European nations in 1848

    right wingers have misread it and characterize the fulfillment of those demands as being full communism (even when their examples aren't truly the demands being fulfilled)

    I've had a lot of fun telling them "No, no, those ten points are Step 1"

      Well, technically step one is that the working class must win the battle of democracy, and elevate themselves to the position of the ruling class.

      We certainly don't have that here in the States.
