My
first writing many decades ago was for a school assignment. It was a
comparison of Communist goals and how much they were beginning to
take shape in our country. My teacher kept me after to inform me,
physically, how wrong I was. But was I?
On
Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a
list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record. These are
the pertinent ones we will use for today’s discussion.
- Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S. [Note: In his book, "Reagan’s War," Peter Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which Communists and communist sympathizers have penetrated the Democratic Party.
- Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man. Old white racists.
- 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.
- Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture."
- Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communists were told to "eliminate all historical sculpture from parks and buildings."
- Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
- Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
- Support any Democratic Socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
- Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the Progressive line in textbooks.
- Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
- Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
- Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV by presenting homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."
- Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
- Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
Was
I wrong? Not according to people who know what Socialist Communism really
is. We spoke with a Russian immigrant, a
woman in her eighties, Svetlana. She
was heartbroken. The fear and horror was evident in her eyes as she
talked about her experiences as a young person growing up in the
USSR. “I left the Soviet Union to escape communism,
socialism, Marxism — whatever you want to call it,” she recalled.
“America was and still is the only place in the world you are truly
free, and you are losing it. Now the evil is coming here; it is all
around us, especially where I live in California. These people are
ignorant, they have no historical knowledge, and they are very
dangerous. The ideology is seductive to America’s naive youth and
always ends up with people dead.”
Many
of us have been saying the same thing for a while now, warning the
younger generations of the historical
dangers of “Progressivism.”(a.k.a.
Communist Socialism) These truths
are well worth revisiting today in order to gain insights into the
thinking and strategies of much of our so-called Progressive
elite. You don’t have to look very hard to validate concerns
that today’s Democratic Party is really a neo-Bolshevik party in
disguise. The very troubling fact is that, with a couple of decades
of indoctrination, there are so many followers of
Progressivism in positions of power in our country today.
