2) The source of wealth is private property; property rights must be undermined or abolished by
a heavy progressive income tax;
a confiscatory estate tax;
regulation of rents and profits; and
concentration of means of production in the government.
3) Religion is a means for the wealthy to keep the masses in place and must be abolished or confined. Restraints on personal behavior that are opposed by religion are to be encouraged.
4) The Family is antithetical to the freedom of women; and laws must undermine the family, degrade the role of men in the family, and ecourage women to raise children independent of a family.
You can get all of that from Communist Manifesto -- and from the words of any so-called "liberal" in the United States.
