Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:

U. S. Congressional Seal[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. 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. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. 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.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. 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.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. 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.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. 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.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. 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].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. 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.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court

[RoosterRedux]

I post this as news not because it is new but because it is coming to pass in the daily news.

Sorry if I should have posted it elsewhere.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It’s a scary list but it’s been posted here many times.

[Openurmind]

Thank you, this historical reference and reminder is important to go over now and then lest we forget. They are almost there.

[RoosterRedux]

I remember some/many of the previous times. That said, it is never enough IMO.

[traderrob6]

I count 30 of the 45 that have either been accomplished completely or to a significant degree.

That IS scary.

[Openurmind]

“I remember some/many of the previous times. That said, it is never enough IMO.”

I agree, it should be a persistent category and everyday reminder in it’s self. This is indeed their long term agenda and goal.

[PGalt]

OUSTANDING post/reference for our current location. Thanks. BUMP!

[Openurmind]

There is only one every important item missing from this list of goals. The agenda and goal to reduce world population by any and all devious means available.

[RoosterRedux]

I emailed it to friends in case they have forgotten about it.

[rlmorel]

Posted here many times… I’m fine with it. Look at goal number 15.

[Coffee... Black... No Sugar]

46. Stoke emotions for environmental crisis, and destabilize American economic market dominance.

[Olog-hai]

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 nations and individuals alike.

That, for the record, is the full text of the 45^th goal.

Chapter 12 of The Naked Communist is full of lots of other points, one of these being quoted from Mao:

The United States must be isolated by all possible means. […] Whether we can prevent the United States from starting the war (to defend her rights and liberties) depends upon how much success we have in isolating her and how effective is our peace offensive.

The “America First” outlook has been frustrating that goal, hence their fifth column in the form of the Democrats have been trying to stop Trump in any way possible.

[Maudeen]

Thanks for posting!!!!! Think about it . . . anyone born in 1963 is almost 60 years old. Just look what we have become as a nation in six short decades.

[PGalt]

I look at it a lot and have linked to it many times. Good job RR. You can lead a donkey to water, but you can’t make them think.

[gspurlock]

It’s good to see this brought to everyone’s attention. In case anyone hasn’t already seen it, it’s an important tool for educational purposes.

[magna carta]

Thank you I’m gonna print and share with my kids I knew about it but had already forgotten or not known of all the goals.
I’m also having a poster made to put in the study where my son hangs with his buddies gaming.
It is Goebbels quote on repeating until the people begin to believe it. My daughter works in a print shop and can do stuff like this at a great deal

[elpadre]

Has Bernie incorporated all these into his platform??

[Menehune56]

Their checklist is nearing completion.

[ealgeone]

What’s even scarier is how many have been achieved by the Left.
