The Marxist doctrine and communism needs to be totally deleted from out society, one way or another. If it is not, the country will be fighting it until the end of time and loosing our way of life for our children and grand children will always be threatened. It’s a fight that needs to end.
2) This Marxian doctrine is implicit in the New Deal view that in an industrial age government should control and regulate every phase of our economy and that the powers of government should be greatly expanded and the rights of the individual correspondingly limited.
The article seems to concede that (2) follows from (1). It does not. Freedom better serves even the interests of those who view life materially. Tyranny makes a few (the elite) wealthier than they would have been in a free society, but "the masses" become impoverished of goods too, not just of self-determination. The vast majority of those interested in a "full belly" will have a lot more to put in it in a free system.
A would call it the Plato doctrine.
In the 1980’s, an ex-KGB officer and Russian defector, Yuri Bezmenov, did his absolute best to warn Americans about radicals from the 1960’s who were slowly converting America to a Marxist country using an overt process called “Ideological Subversion”.
It has nothing to do with a conspiracy theory or grand new world order. It is overt, out in the open, in your face.
There are 4 stages to Ideological Subversion:
1. Demoralization (infiltrating the education system was key to this stage)
2. Destabilization (example: encouraging an enormous amount of debt that leads to a financial crisis)
3. Crisis (we are at the beginning of this stage)
4. Normalization (which is anything but normal).
This progressive cancer has been growing over the last 40+ years and is close to destroying our country.
Please take time to watch this short interview. It features Yuri Bezmenov describing exactly how Ideological Subversion works (it should sound eerily familiar).

There was also an excellent recent 2009 American Thinker article about Mr. Bezmenov and Ideological Subversion:

Please share the video with everyone you know. It has over 126,000 views, but it needs to have 100 million.
People need to realize that we got to this sorry point in our country’s history by design, not by accident.
The welfare state causes loss of action, individual rights, removing any incentives, and treats all (except the chosen few, of course), as non entities. Oppression, suppression, total control of all activities, and Horror follows.
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
Again, we see the irony of the Left defining government as an "instrument of oppression" while in actual fact treating it as the great liberator to which all reactionaries are hostile.
The article missed out one fundamental; an area the communists saw as a far greater advantage then the West. Education.

When the absurdities of Marx's ideas are fully understood, it is clear that never in all of human history has a greater bunch of pompous ignoramuses with pretensions to knowledge behaved more destructively and self-destructively-made themselves more a spectacle of downright fools meriting the utter contempt of all mankind-than have the "liberal intellectuals" of the last four or five generations. Their lack of genuine classical liberalism will be seen to be surpassed only by their lack of genuine intellect.
