In 1947, the Catechetical Guild Educational Society created this comic to describe exactly how Communists operate; how they think, act, and get people to accept Communism.
A FReeper jogged my memory about this so I undertook the task to clean up photocopied versions of it, add page numbers, croppings, rotations, color enhancement, etc. I believe this is now an excellent PDF version useful to read or print.
I hold no copyright of this material, so please feel free to distribute this. It is an easy to read lesson on exactly how Communists/Liberals operate.

Just got back on the grid, looking now.

As to this going viral, by far your easiest bet for accomplishing such a goal would be for you to put this on Youtube. I have an idea if you would like to pursue and implement.
Everyone I know got this link ... thank you thank you thank you !!!!!
And thank you! The more the merrier!

Nope. There do exist anti-tracking bits and pieces for various other web browsers. I have not used, nor kept installed Internet Explorer, since version six. As to which browser? If you were to look at the list provided on Major Geek’s site, it’s of them there.
I have been a vocal opponent of Google, from its inception.
Thank you!
BTTT.
I recently found this comic, “Is This Tomorrow - America Under Communism” and thought of posting it here. But I see someone already has! We need to find a way to broadcast this to a larger audience.
I could imagine cutting the panels next to images of current day events. Example: the American Communist leader saying he didn’t need Congress cut next to an image of Obama with a quote from him disparaging Congress.
Someone could do a sequence of these and turn them into a Youtube video. That would allow more people to access and share it via blogs, social networking, etc.
I have experience in motion graphics and video editing and would be glad to contribute my time. If we could assemble a team of people researching current events to match the comic’s events and help in other ways with the graphic, sound and video parts of the production then this might be doable.
The video project could be cut up into four 5 to 10 minute segments and released in stages to build anticipation.(And each segment could end with a link to Free Republic giving us the additional bonus of driving more traffic here.)
Is there a FR media/graphic guru group that could be called upon for help?
BTTT!
Dear Pet,
As a GI brat, who learned what to have in your basement, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and having seen some anti-Communist movies during those school days, in between briefings by the base commander - with photos - and what to do, including the one where the father’s dream world ends with him being shot, those films exist on YouTube.
As far as the premise, ‘Is This Tomorrow?’, it started with L.B.J., was furthered with Teddy Kennedy, and hasn’t stopped yet!
I just today had a similar idea, I was thinking as my kids are watching old Hogan’s Heroes reruns, that we do need to do some type of comic counter propaganda just as the Allies did to Hitler during WWII, to make communist/socialist professors look obviously like idiots that they are , but in a funny way that college kids would enjoy. We’ve lost two generations already, we’ve got to capture their imaginations and comedy is one great tool.
Gotta bump this as the book is now complete.
Thanks for bumping this when it was posted, but maybe you can bump it more now.
