First...

  1. Get elected. Check
  2. Destroy property rights. Check (What, you didn't think that's what the "stimulus" and TARP do?*)
  3. Destroy free speech. Working
  4. Destroy the right to bear arms. Working
  5. Eliminate opposition. Working
*What else would you call it when the government can arbitrarily abrogate a legal contract between two parties? Ask yourself the next question, how does this restore trust to the economy? And if it doesn't, why pass the legislation?

From the moment when labor can no longer be converted into capital, money, or rent, into a social power capable of being monopolized, i.e., from the moment when individual property can no longer be transformed into bourgeois property, into capital, from that moment, you say, individuality vanishes.

You must, therefore, confess that by 'individual' you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way and made impossible. -- The Communist Manifesto
What's next? An enabling act? And yes, I am serious. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but serious.
