That link is like a slice of a bygone era.Back from the red menace days of McCarthyism.The person that wrote that was just a right winger trying to use the threat of communism for their own agenda.I read about him a little at Wik and thats what I got about him.Lets look at what the link lists as the communists goals were, at least according to him as late as 1963.
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
Good thing we accepted coexistence IMO
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
I don't know about capitulate but again good thing we didn't engage in atomic war isn't it?
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
That never happened.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
This also never happened.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
Not sure what loans he is even talking about,but again don't think that happened.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
Never happened.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
This did happen,that damn Nixon recognizing a billion people instead of just Taiwan.
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.
Eventually the wall came down,germany was united and the communists lost control of East germany.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
Geez lol,Thankfully both sides agreed to the test ban treaty and stopped testing.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
Yeah the UN should have only allowed American satellites in.
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.)
The old one world govt dominated by the atheists devils of communism or some other secret dark group line.This one is around in various forms to this day.
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
Not sure when this was but I guess it was a time when the communist party was still outlawed.What a great idea ban outlaw a political group for nothing but their ideals.Put some in jail which we did or blacklist them.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
These survive to this day,people still getting in trouble for refusing to take loyalty oaths.Here is a link to a very recent story of a teacher(a pacifist quaker) fired for not submitting to such an oath.This is a leftover from the days of the red manace scares as story points out.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
No idea what this was even about.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Did they "capture" one.If so which one?
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
Yeah lets bring back segreagated schools and Jim Crow laws and repeal the voting rights act.
The rest of these are just as outlandish and ridiculous as the previous ones,some even more so.I will not go into the rest one by one but have comments on a couple.
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.
Do we thank the commies for freeones?:1orglaugh
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.
Yeah that was a bad idea LOL.
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 from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Aren't we so glad that he was there to tell us of what the commies were up to?Geez what a load of BS that list is and was.:eek:
