Communist Manifesto!! YAYYY!

Positives!
- Graduated Income Tax: Tax is necessary for any society to survive. I believe that the idea of graduated income tax is fair enough, because people are paying the tax depending on what they earn. It would not make much sense for someone who is earning less money to pay more tax compared to the other person who is earning more - paying less tax. Graduated Income Tax is necessary.
- Abolition of Children's factory labor and providing a free school education: Free school education? Yes, definitely a positive thing, because that way, at least people would learn something. The only problem with this is that they need to get money to have free education - which could only be possible by taxes. If people are paying the taxes then once they get the money = children could get free education. Abolition of children's factory labor is also a positive thing because (well, we live in a society where there are fixed hours for children to work and certain age limit) the children are not matured enough to work in factories and may end up hurting themselves or hurting the company.
- Equal Liability: Women working equally with men? Definitely a positive thing; throughout history, women were always considered weak and not equal to men. They always got paid less or not as much as the men did. Equal liability gives rights to women to work and earn same amount as men did.

- Centralization:I think centralization is needed in order to keep any human being under control. Even though everyone is being treated 'equally' in this type of society, you still do need centralization. Centralization of transportation and communication is in state's hands.

Negatives!
- abolition of all right of inheritance: This is negative because there are some things that you cannot abolish and this is one of them. According to him, this is direct tax and it hurts the policies of indirect tax which is not true. I believe that inherited things are not for pubic; sometimes those taxes are needed or else how else is the idea of 'free-education' going to work?
- confiscation of property: I found this one to be ridiculous one! I understand that sometimes it is important to be cautious but government cannot just take property away from ONLY emigrants and rebels if they are not sure. Even if they take the land away, what are they going to use it for? Probably public use again! I don't think this is a positive thing because think about it, rebels are rebelling just because they don't like the way society works. Guess what, if the government takes their property, it is going to make more rebels and make things worse for no reason!
- free education: This could be positive and negative thing. I did say it was a positive thing but I also do believe that it is a negative thing. Free education would require a lot of money which would be impossible to get enough with the taxation and amount of labor people do and earn.
- abolition of property in land: Property tax which is paid annually would not give any right to anyone to own a property. It is for the public purpose and no single person can own property. I believe that owning property is a good thing. There are a lot of properties, how much are you going to use for the public?

Revolutionary Heroic Figures :/ din't find them much interesting

Hmm... Revolution!! :/ First of all, these heroic figures... I believe they need to show off less and learn to pose! They are posing as if they are forced to pose and Marat just looks so miserable! George Washington looks all serious and not smiling at all; the last two just look so scary! Anyways, all of them share some similarities:

Similarities:
- all the 'heroes' in all the pictures are holding something in their hands such as a sword or quill! well, three of them at least had some kind of weapon in their hand - may be representing the revolution! Marat had quill; he looked miserable and more like sacrificing type of person; I guess the reason he had quill was to show the writing of some kind of document. Speaking of written document, all the pictures also had some kind of papers (written) somewhere in picture. For example, in George Washington's picture, the written paper (probably declaration of independence) is showed on the table. Also, in the next picture which was Marat's, he is holding the paper in his hand just like Toussaint Louveture. Even in the last picture which was Bolivar's, there is a certain type of written document showed in the picture.Also, almost all the leaders look confident and doing certain type of pose except Marat.


WHY???: The artist chose to portray them in this way because people would think of them as strong leaders and respect them. Also, the artist did made them confident, serious, and having attitude, doing wonderful showy pose. The pictures are shown in such way to make them more stronger and people would listen and it would lead to success! The artist probably wanted to show the people that 'ohh, look! these are our role-models; we shall be inspired and continue with the war'.

Heroic Figures!!!: Heroic figures are necessary for the revolution because in every war, you atleast need one leader who provides guidance, who also becomes your role-model, who orders you around and has somewhat of a clue on what is going on around and what to do! Heroic figures maintain the things around so they don't go all crazy during the war. Also, they are necessary for people because people need someone to listen to or else no one will ever listen to anyone and that would be just disaster!
