The 45 goals of communism
U.S. should accept coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
U.S. should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would be a demonstration of “moral strength.”
Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Extend long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
Grant recognition of Red China and admission of Red China to the U.N.
Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
Do away with loyalty oaths.
Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S.
Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
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 party line in textbooks.
Gain control of all student newspapers.
Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations that are under Communist attack.
Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings,” substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
Control art critics and directors of art museums. ” Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
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.
Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural and healthy.”
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.”
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”
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.
Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
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.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose communist goals.
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.
Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
Internationalize the Panama Canal.
Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Now even I will have to admit, when some of my more liberal associates saw these back in the 70s, I had them framed and mounted on the wall of my/our “office,” quite a few said “Now some of these ideas are not a bad idea.”
To which I responded, “You should know I have a M16 here, and another in the truck of the 365GT/4 Daytona. As well as claymores and fragmentation grenades in the closet.”
That was generally sufficient to quell any further talk about these “good ideas.”
In any event, the purpose here is to discuss #2 “U.S. should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.”
Did we?
When did we?
What were the terms?
Are they about to expire?
Frequently, I get the comment well that is ridiculous and “disinformation.”
Interesting that they would chose that term, isn’t it? Representative Herlong certainly didn’t seem to think it was “disinformation.”
Anyway, I will produce one “piece of evidence” to back up this assertion.
We, the United States Military, have precisely somewhere between 971 and 1413 foreign or overseas or “lily pads” or some such fucking something “bases” scattered across the globe.
And if necessary, we have “mobile” bases.
And as you can see immediately above, even our friends get in on the act (the late Shinzo Abe, former Prime Minister of Japan).
Well, They Sure As Hell Ain’t For National Security
