COMMUNIST GOALS
(From The Congressional Record, Jan. 10, 1963)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic
war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist
domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
9. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If it's charter is
rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own
independent armed forces.
10. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American
institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get
control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

organizations which are under Communist attack.
14. Infiltrate the Press.
15. Gain control of key positions in radio, T.V., and motion pictures.
16. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of
artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all
good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and
meaningless forms.
17. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to
promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.
18. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship"
and a violation of free speech and free press.
19. Break down culture standards of morality by promoting pornography
and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and T.V.
20. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity, as "normal,
natural, healthy."
21. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social"
religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual
maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
22. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the
schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of
church and state."
23. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate,
old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation
between nations on a worldwide basis.
24. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish
aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
25. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any
part of the cultural education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental
health clinics, etc.
26. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social
agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no
one but psychiatrist can understand or treat.
27. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a
means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
28. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and
easy divorce.

Look through the above list again and count the number of goals which
have been accomplished in this nation since 1963.
COMMUNIST GOALS (from The Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels in 1848.)
"The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single phrase:
Abolition of private property." (page 82)
"In bourgeois society, therefore, the past dominates the present; in
communist society, the present dominates the past. In bourgeois society
capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is
dependent and has no individuality.
"And the abolition of this state of things is called by the
bourgeoisie, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The
abolition of bourgeois individuality, bourgeois independence, and
bourgeois freedom is undoubtedly aimed at." (page 84)
"You reproach us with intending to do away with your property.
Precisely so; that is just what we intend." (page 85)
". . . the middle-class owner of property. This person must, indeed, be
swept out of the way, and made impossible." (pages 85-86)
"Abolition of the family!" (page 87)
"The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish
countries and nationality." (page 90)
"Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all
morality." (page 92)
"Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the
existing social and political order of things " (page 116)
