Communist ‘rules’ look familiar today

Does this sound familiar to you, the public?

In May 1919, at Dusseldorf, Germany, Allied forces captured a very significant document: “Communist Rules for Revolution.” As you read these “rules” now, over 100 years later, keep in mind what you are reading and hearing every day in the news media:

A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.

B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:

1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.

2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule, etc.

4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

5. By encouraging governmental extravagance, destroy the credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

6. Promote unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorder and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government toward such disorders.

7. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty and sobriety.

C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

Think about it people, you are now living it.

it still is a semi-historical relevance item

Yup, it's relevant to the history of hoaxes. It's not as important as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion but it's of the same type.

Snopes would have been looking for any reason at all to call this false.

And conservatives, at least the gullible ones, would have been looking for any reason at all to call this true.

Do you have any reason to call it true, other than that it fits your preconceptions, and that it's been widely circulated by people who share your preconceptions?

Oh, OK. Regardless of provenance, it certainly sums up where we’re at, and how we got here.

This is probably the genesis of it:

Oh, you’re a red! Hope you’re up to date on your shots. I feel confident I don’t have to address this one with this group so I’ll let it go in the interest of time. I gotta’ bounce.

Even if it is a ‘hoax’, Snopes traced it all the way back to 1946!

That’s pretty old for a hoax to be still standing.

Somebody had to have written it. On paper. And distributed it. Manually.

No computers.

No FAX machines.

No Internet.

Now, in order for it to be a true ‘hoax’, the subject matter should be analyzed and found to be ‘false’.

Snopes, and others, didn’t address the individual line items, just the origin and dates mentioned, then finding discrepancies declared the whole document false.

That doesn’t make the information within the document any less true, it just casts aspersions upon its provenance.

Still, somebody wrote it around 1946 for some reason.

CIA? FBI? MI5? KGB?.... who knows? It does not matter who wrote it, or for what reason they wrote it, it’s still true...................

As Lenin said of the success of the Russian Revolution “it was quite easy to start a revolution, as easy as lifting a feather.”

That’s because of what they did to set the environment, just as it is taking place right now in America.

But that Revolution was years in the making, the 1905 loss to Japan, really started kicking it into high gear. But even then it was still another 12 years and it took getting into WWI.

Yeah. The ‘46 origin would coincide with Iron Curtain. Cold War propaganda of one of the alphabet agencies.

Decades. Lenin’s big brother was executed for his part in the plot to assassinate Alexander III.

But they did it as it’s happening here, they infiltrated the institutions gradually.

Snopes would have been looking for any reason at all to call this false. They are part of the united front.

I recall this document being called into question back in the early 1970's, long before Snopes.

Yeah...I had my share of lefty teachers in high school (Oregon, ‘74-‘79) Anti-McCartyism was still the order of the day. I was so pissed when I found out that my Am Lit teacher could have taught “For Whom the Bell Tolls” instead of “The Crucible.”

There was a young administrator there that had fought to remove a cross from public property in Eugene in the ‘60s. . That came to pass in ‘97.

Rust never sleeps.

There’s a scene in the movie “Dazed and Confused”, which took place in 1976, where the teacher tells her students “Just remember when you’re celebrating the Bicenntenial, you’re celebrating a bunch of white slaveholders who didn’t want to pay their taxes.”
