Farms of any size could be and were seized by the government, while land, businesses, and companies owned by upper- and middle-class Cubans were nationalized.
Private schools were banned and the progressively socialist state assumed greater responsibility for children.
All property held by religious organizations was nationalized, including the dominant Roman Catholic Church. Hundreds of members of the church, including a bishop, were permanently expelled from the nation, with the new Cuban government being declared officially atheist.
Change like that doesn't happen overnight unless there is a coupe which won't happen here.
Instead we will see gradual change over time. Like the frog in the boiling pot.
If you told me 20 years ago the government would make laws about the size of the soda you bought I would have called you a crazy loon and laughed my head off.
And to get that change accepted you target the youth, not the adults because they are set in their ways and have knowledge of history.
We saw an all out effort to silence the opposition, calling people racist, demonizing opponents, now using the IRS to defund the opposition. Unfortunately it takes the opening of peoples minds and thinking to see it. This administration promotes hatred toward anyone who speaks out against him or his policies and that hatred will keep them blind to what is really going on.

People think that something like this can not happen in the U.S. Obama just made an attempt to tell people to ignore any voice that tells them that it can. Those who trust Obama will listen and they are silence in their belief.
That is why government schools are so important. All communist countries own the media.
To accomplish this, the people must feel helpless both financially and mentally and blame it on capitalism. Bring the economy down and people will look to the government for help. People who are already in trouble are already doing this and the government has them in their pocket.
The youth have not experienced life and they by the nature of age revolt against authority. They are the easiest to manipulate. Obama is viewed as cool, and when you are at that age cool is in, they vote according to peers.
On the campaign trail Obama said "build from the middle class out". But the question is, how can that be done unless he means:
Marxists believe that the workers of the world must unite and free themselves from capitalist oppression to create a world run by and for the working class.
Well not much will come out of these IRS hearings I'm afraid.
They did what they did. They got caught and we'll have our dog and pony show.
