100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U.S.A.

1 . What is Communism?

A system by which one small group seeks to rule the world.

2. Has any nation ever gone Communist in a free election?

No.

3 . Then how do the Communists try to get control?

Legally or illegally, any way they can . Communism’s first big victory was through bloody revolution. Every one since has been by military conquest, or internal corruption, or the threat of these . CONSPIRACY is the basic method of Communism in countries it is trying to capture.

IRON FORCE is the basic method of Communism in countries it has already captured.

4. What would happen if Communism should come into power in this country?

Our capital would move from Washington to Moscow. Every man, woman, and child would come under Communist discipline.

5. Would I be better off than I am now?

No. And the next 17 answers show why.

6. Could I belong to a union?

Under Communism, all labor unions are run by the Government and the Communists run the Government . Unions couldn’t help you get higher pay, shorter hours or better working conditions.

They would only be used by the Communists to help keep you down. More complete details are given in ONE HUNDRED THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND LABOR.

7. Could I change my job?

No, you would work where you are told, at what you are told, for wages fixed by the Government.

8. Could I go to school?

You could go to the kind of school the Communists tell you to, AND NOWHERE ELSE. You could go as long as they let you AND NO LONGER.

You could read ONLY what the Communists let you; hear only what they let you, and as far as they could manage, you would KNOW only what they let you. For details, see ONE HUNDRED THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND EDUCATION.

9. Could I belong to the Elks, Rotary, or the American Legion?

No. William Z. Foster, the head of the Communists in the United States, says Under the dictatorship all the capitalist parties-Republican, Democratic, Progressive, Socialist, etc . – will be liquidated, the Communist Party functioning alone as the Party of the toiling masses .

Likewise will be dissolved, all other organizations that are political props of the bourgeois rule, including chambers of commerce, employers’ associations, Rotary Clubs, American Legion, YMCA, and such fraternal orders as the Masons, Odd Fellows, Elks, Knights of Columbus, etc.

10. Could I own my own farm?

No. Under Communism, the land is the property of the Government, and the Government is run by the Communists. You would farm the land under orders and you could not make any decisions as to when or where you would sell the produce of your work, or for how much .

11 . Could I own my own home?

No. Under Communism, all real estate in the city as well as the country belongs to the government, which is in turn run by the Communists. Your living quarters would be assigned to you, and you would pay rent as ordered.

12. What would happen to my insurance?

The Communists would take it over.

13. What would happen to my bank account?

All above a small sum would be confiscated . The rest would be controlled for you.

14. Could I leave any property to my family when I die?

No, because you wouldn’t have any to leave.

15. Could I travel around the country as I please?

No. You would have to get police permission for every move you make, if you could get it.

16. Could I belong to a church?

In Russia, the Communists have for thirty years tried every way they could to destroy religion. Having failed that, they are now trying to USE religion from the inside and the same Party strategy is now operating in the United States of America.

See ONE HUNDRED THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND RELIGION.

17. Could I start up a business and hire people to work for me?

To do so would be a crime for which you would be severely punished.

18. Could I teach what I please with “academic freedom”?

You would teach only what the Communists authorize you to teach .You would be asking for jail or death to try anything else.

19. Could I do scientific research free of governmental interference and restrictions?

Police and spies would watch your every move. You would be liquidated on the slightest suspicion of doing ANYTHING contrary to orders.

20. Could I have friends of my own choice as I do now?

No, except those approved by the Communists in charge of your life from cradle to grave.

21 . Could I travel abroad or marry a foreigner?

You could do nothing of that sort except with permission of the Communists.

22. Could I exchange letters with friends in other countries?

With the police reading your mail, you could try-once.

23. Could I vote the Communists out o f control?

No. See ONE HUNDRED THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMMUNISM AND GOVERNMENT, showing the facts of Communist government in other countries and the facts of Communism at work within OUR OWN government .

24. But doesn’t Communism promise poor people a better life?

Communist politicians all over the world try in every way to break down nations as they are, hoping that in the confusion they will be able to seize control. Promising more than you can deliver is an old trick in the history of the human race. Compare Communism’s promises with Communism’s performances in countries where it has come to power .

25. What are some differences between Communist promise and Communist performance?

When it is agitating for power, Communism promises more money for less work and security against war and poverty . In practice, it has not delivered any of this, anywhere in the world.

26. But don’t the Communists promise an end to racial and religious intolerance?

Yes, but in practice they have murdered millions for being religious and for belonging to a particular class . Your race would be no help to you under Communism. Your beliefs could get you killed .

27. Why shouldn’t I turn Communist?

You know what the United States is like today . If you want it exactly the opposite, you should turn Communist. But before you do, remember you will lose your independence, your property, and your freedom of mind. You will gain only a risky membership in a conspiracy which is ruthless, godless, and crushing upon all except a very few at the top.

28. How many Communists are there in the world?

There are 20,000,000 Communists, more or less, in a world of 2,295,125,000 people. In other words, about one person in 115 is a Communist, on a world basis.

29. How many people are now ruled by Communism?

About 200,000,000 directly ; 200,000,000 more indirectly, and an additional 250,000,000 are under daily Communist pressure to surrender.

30. Which countries are Communist controlled or governed?

Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Yugoslavia . Important regions of Austria, Germany, Korea, Mongolia and Manchuria. Communism is concentrating now on immediate capture of Afghanistan, China, France, Greece, Latin America, Iran and Palestine .

It has plans to seize every other country including the United States .

31 . How many Communists are there in the United States?

There are approximately 8o,ooo out of a population of 1145,34 0,000 people. J. Edgar Hoover has testified that “in 1917 when the Communists overthrew the Russian Government there was one Communist for every 2,277 persons in Russia . In the United States today there is one Communist for every 1,814 persons in the country.”

32. Why aren’t there more?

Because the Communist Party does not rely upon actual Party membership for its strength . J. Edgar Hoover testified :

“What is important is the claim of the Communists themselves that for every Party member there are ten others ready, willing, and able to do the Party’s work. Herein lies the greatest menace of Communism . “For these are the people who infiltrate and corrupt various spheres of American life . So rather than the size of the Communist Party the way to weigh its true importance is by testing its influence, its ability to infiltrate .”

33. How are they organized?

Primarily around something they call a political party, behind which they operate a carefully trained force of spies, revolutionaries, and conspirators.

The basic fact to remember is that Communism is a world revolutionary movement and Communists are disciplined agents, operating under a plan of war.

34. Where are their headquarters in the United States, and who is in charge?

Headquarters are at 35 East Twelfth Street, New York City . William Z. Foster, of 1040 Melton Avenue, New York City, has the title of “Chairman of the Communist Party of the United States,” but Foster is actually just a figurehead under control of foreign operatives unseen by and unknown to rank and file Communists.

35. What is the emblem of the Communist Party in the United States?

The hammer and sickle.

36. What is the emblem of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union?

The hammer and sickle . It is also the official emblem of the Soviet Government .

37. What is the flag of the Communist Party in the United States?

The red flag, the same as that of all Communist Parties of the world .

38. What is the official song of the Communist Party of the United States?

The Internationale. Here is the Chorus:

‘Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place ;
The International Soviet shall be the human race.

39. Do the Communists pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States?

The present head of the Communists in the United States has testified under oath that they DO NOT.

40. What is the Communist Party set-up?

At the bottom level are “shop and street units” composed of three or more Communists in a single factory, office, or neighborhood. Next is the section which includes all units in a given area of a city.

Then come districts, composed of one or more States . At the top is the national organization, composed of a national committee and a number of commissions.

In the appendix of this pamphlet.you will find listed the officers and address for each district of the Communist Party in the United States .

41. Who can become a member of the Communist Party of the United States?

Anybody over 17 years of age who can convince the Party that his first loyalty will be to the Soviet Union and that he is able to do the Party’s work as a Soviet agent .

He must be an active member of a Party unit . He must obey ALL Party decisions . He must read the Party literature . He must pay dues regularly.

42. How do you go about joining the Party?

You must know some member in good standing who will vouch for you to his Party unit. Your acceptance still depends on the verdict of Party officials that you WILL AND CAN obey orders .

43 . Can you be a secret member?

All Communists are secret members until authorized by the Party to reveal their connection . Party membership records are kept in code. Communists have a real name and a “Party name.”

44. Are meetings public like those of ordinary political parties?

No, meetings are secret and at secret addresses. Records are all secret and in code . Public demonstrations are held at regular periods .

45. What dues do you have to pay?

They are adjusted according to income. They may range from as low as 2 cents a week to $15 a week with special assessments in addition .

46. What do you have to promise?

To carry out Communist Party orders promptly . To submit without question to Party decisions and discipline . To work for “The triumph of Soviet power in the United States .”

47. After you join, what do you have to do?

You have to obey the Party in all things . It may tell you to change your home, your job, your husband, or wife . It may order you to lie, steal, rob, or to go out into the street and fight .

It claims the power to tell you what to think and what to do every day of your life .

When you become a Communist, you become a revolutionary agent under a discipline more strict than the United States Army, Navy, Marines, or Air Force have ever known .

48. Why do people become Communists then?

Basically, because they seek power and recognize the opportunities that Communism offers the unscrupulous .

But no matter why a particular person becomes a Communist, every member of the Party must be regarded the same way, as one seeking to overthrow the Government of the United States .

49. What kind of people become Communists?

The real center of power in Communism is within the professional classes. Of course, a few poor people respond to the Communist claim that it is a “working class movement .” But taken as a whole the Party depends for its strength on the support it gets from teachers, preachers, actors, writers, union officials, doctors, lawyers, editors, businessmen, and even from millionaires.

50. Can you quit being a Communist when you want to?

The Communists regard themselves as being in a state of actual war against life as the majority of Americans want it .

Therefore, Party members who quit or fail to obey orders are looked on as traitors to the “class war” and they may expect to suffer accordingly when and as the Party gets around to them.

51 . How does the Communist Party o f the United States work, day by day?

The Communist Party of the United States works inside the law and the Constitution, and outside the law and the Constitution with intent to get control any way it can .

52. What are some types of Communist activities within the law?

Working their way into key positions in the schools, the churches, the labor unions, and farm organizations . Inserting Communist propaganda into art, literature, and entertainment . Nominating or seeking control of candidates for public office. The immediate objective
of the Communist Party is to confuse and divide the majority so that in a time of chaos they can seize control .

53. What are some types o f Communist activities outside the law?

Spying, sabotage, passport fraud, perjury, counterfeiting, rioting, disloyalty in the Army, Navy and Air Force.

54. What are some official newspapers or magazines of the Communist Party?

Daily and Sunday Worker, 5o East Thirteenth Street, New York City; Morning Freiheit, 50 East Thirteenth Street, New York City;

Daily Peoples World, 59o Folsom Street, San Francisco, Calif .;

Masses and Mainstream, 832 Broadway, New York City ;

Political Affairs, 832 Broadway, New York City. There are also numerous foreign language publications.

55. Does the Party also publish books and pamphlets?

Yes, thousands of them, through such official publishing houses as :

International Publishers, 381 Fourth Street, New York City ;

Workers Library Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City ; New Century
Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City.

56. Does the Party have public speakers and press agents?

Hundreds of them, paid and unpaid, public and secret, hired and volunteered, intentional and unintentional. Publicity seeking is one of the Party’s principal “legal” occupations, intended to confuse people on all important issues of the day .

57. How does the Party get the money for all this?

At first it received money from Moscow but now it raises millions of dollars here in the United’ States through dues, foundations, endowments, special drives, and appeals.

58. Do only Communists carry out Communist work?

No. The Party uses what it calls “Fellow Travelers” and “Front Organizations” in some of its most effective work .

59. What is a fellow traveler?

One who sympathizes with the Party’s aims and serves the Party’s purposes in one or more respects without actually holding a Party card.

60. Is he important in the Communist movement?

Vital. The fellow traveler is the HOOK with which the Party reaches out for funds and respectability and the WEDGE that it drives between people who try to move against it .

61 . What is a Communist front?

An organization created or captured by the Communists – to do the Party’s work in special fields . The front organization is Communism’s greatest weapon in this country today and takes it places it could never go otherwise-among people who would never willingly act as Party agents.

It is usually found hiding among groups devoted to idealistic activities. Here are 10 examples out of hundreds of Communist fronts which have been exposed :

1. American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born .

2. American Slav Congress.

3. American Youth for Democracy .

4. Civil Rights Congress.

5. Congress of American Women .

6. Council for Pan-American Democracy .

7. International Workers Order .

8. National Committee to Win the Peace .

9. People’s Institute of Applied Religion.

10. League of American Writers.

62. How can a Communist be identified?

It is easy. Ask him to name ten things wrong with the United States. Then ask him to name two things wrong with Russia. His answers will show him-up even to a child . Communists will denounce the President of the United States but they will never denounce Stalin .

63. How can a fellow traveler be identified?

Apply the same test as above and watch him defend Communists and Communism.

64. How can a Communist front be identified?

If you are ever in doubt, write the House Committee on Un-American Activities, Room 226, House Office Building, Washington 25, D. C.

65. What do Communists call those who criticize them?

“Red baiters,” “witch hunters,” “Fascists .” These are just three out of a tremendous stock of abusive labels Communists attempt to smear on anybody who challenges them .

66. How do they smear labor opposition?

As “scabs,” “finks,” “company stooges,” and “labor spies .”

67. How do they smear public officials?

As “reactionaries,” “Wall Street tools,” “Hitlerites,” and “imperialists.”

68. What is their favorite escape when challenged on a point of fact?

To accuse you of “dragging in a red herring,” a distortion of an old folk saying that originally described the way to throw hounds off the track of a hot trail .

69. What is the difference in fact between a Communist and a Fascist?

None worth noticing.

70. How do Communists get control of organizations in which the majority are not Communists?

They work . Others won’t .
They come early and stay late . Others don’t.
They know how to run a meeting . Others don’t .
They demand the floor . Others won’t .
They do not hesitate to use physical violence or ANY form of persecution. They stay organized and prepared in advance of each meeting. The thing to remember is that Communists are trained
agents under rigid discipline, but they can always be defeated by the facts.

71 . When was the Communist Party o f the United States organized, and where?

September 1919, at Chicago.

72. Has it always been called by its present name?

No. Here are the recorded, official name changes :

1919-Communist Party of America, and the Communist Labor Party of America .
1921-The above parties merged into the United Communist Party of America.
1922-The Communist Party of America and the Workers Party of America.
1925-The above merged into one organization known as Workers (Communist) Party of America.
1928-Communist Party of the United States .
1944-Communist Political Association .
1945-to present -Communist Party of the United States of America .

73. Why has it changed its name so often?

To serve Moscow and evade the law of the United States .

74. Why isn’t the Communist Party a political party just like the Democratic and Republican parties?

Because it takes its orders from Moscow .

75. Are the Communists agents of a foreign power?

Yes. For full details write the Committee on Un-American Activities, Room 226, House Office Building, Washington 25, D . C., for House Report No. tog, entitled The Communist Party of the United States as an Agent of a Foreign Power .

76. Where can a Communist be found in everyday American life?

Look for him in your school, your labor union, your church, or your civic club . Communists themselves say that they can be found “on almost any conceivable battlefront for the human mind.”

77. What States have barred the Communist Party from the ballot?

Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Tennessee, and Wisconsin.)

‘This list was compiled as of January 1948 .

78. How does Communism expect to get power over the United States if it cannot win elections?

The Communists only compete for votes to cover their fifth-column work behind a cloak of legality.

They expect to get power by ANY means, just so they get it .

The examples of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and other countries in Europe show just how many methods Communism applies . In each country different details-in all the same result.

79. Why don’t Communists over here go to Russia if they like that system so much?

They are on duty here to take over this country . They couldn’t go to Russia even if they wanted to, except on orders from Moscow .

80. Which Communists get such orders?

High Party officials and special agents who are to be trained in spying, sabotage, and detailed planning for capture of this country .

81 . Where are they trained in Moscow?

The Lenin Institute, a college in revolution which teaches how to capture railroads, ships, radio stations, banks, telephone exchanges,newspapers, waterworks, power plants, and such things.

82. Does Stalin let American Communists in to see him?

Yes. Earl Browder and William Z. Foster, the two heads of the Party for the last 2o years, have both admitted under oath that they conferred with Stalin. The records show that Browder, for instance, made 115 known trips to Moscow, several with false passports .

83. Are American Communists used in the Soviet Secret Service?

Yes, here are the names of a few such agents proved on the public records :

Nicholas Dozenberg, George Mink, Philip Aronberg, Charles Dirba, Pascal Cosgrove, J . Mindel, Alexander Trachtenberg, Julia Stuart Poyntz, Jack Johnstone, Charles Krumbein, and Albert Feirabend .

84. What central organization controls all the Communist Parties of the world?

An organization originally set up in Moscow by the Government of Russia, and known as the “Communist International” called Comintern for short . It has since changed its name to “Communist Information Bureau” and is known as the Comin form.

85. Who is the most important Communist in the United States today?

The Coming form representative.

86. Why is he here?

To see that American Communists follow the orders of the Sovietdirected Coming form in all things .

87. Do they?

Yes.

88. Has any representative of this central organization ever been caught?

Yes. For example, over a period of 12 years one Gerhart Eisler, alias Brown, alias Edwards, alias Berger, did such work, making regular trips between the United States and Europe . On February 6, 1947, his activities were exposed by the House Committee on Un-American Activities and he has since been convicted in court of perjury and contempt of Congress!

89. What is the best way to combat Communism?

Detection, exposure, and prosecution .

90. Are these being done?

Millions of dollars have been spent by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Army and Navy Intelligence, and other executive agencies to detect and keep track of Communists since the Party’s organization in this country a generation ago. Exposure in a systematic way began with the formation of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, May 26, 1938 . Prosecution of Communists, as such, has never taken place in this country, as yet.

Eisler jumped his bond of $23,000 and fled to Europe on the Polish liner Batory on May 6, 5949 .

91. Have any Communists been prosecuted on other grounds?

Yes. For violations of such laws as those governing passports, immigration, perjury, criminal syndicalism, and contempt.

92. Is this enough?

No. The House of Representatives maintains this Committee on Un-American Activities to study the problems of Communism and all other subversive movements and recommend new laws if it feels they are needed.

93 . Has the Committee made any such recommendations?

Yes. The latest is H . R. 5852, known as the Mundt-Nixon bill, which passed the House of Representatives on May 19, 1948, by a vote of 319 to 58.

94. What does this bill do?

The main points are : To expose Communists and their fronts by requiring them to register publicly with the Attorney General and plainly label all their propaganda as their own .

To forbid Communists passports or Government jobs.

To make it illegal for ANYBODY to try to set up in this country a totalitarian dictatorship having ANY connection with a foreign power.

95. What is Communism’s greatest strength?

Its secret appeal to the lust for power. Some people have a natural urge to dominate others in all things .

Communism invites them to try .

The money, hard work, conspiracy, and violence that go into Communism, add up to a powerful force moving in a straight line toward control of the world .

96. What is Communism’s greatest weakness?

The very things that give it strength . For just as some people have a natural lust to dominate everybody else, so do most people have a natural determination to be free . Communism can dominate only by force .

Communism can be stopped by driving every Communist out of the place where he can capture power .

97. What is treason?

Our Constitution says that:

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court .”

98. Are the Communists committing treason today?

The Soviet Union has launched what has been called a “cold war” on the United States . Therefore, Communists are engaged in what might be called “COLD WAR TREASON.”

The Mundt-Nixon bill is intended to fight this “cold war treason .” If our war with Communism should ever change from “cold to “hot” we can expect the Communists of the United States to fight against the flag of this country openly .

99. What should I do about all this?

Know the facts . Stay on the alert . Work as hard against the Communists as they work against you .

100. Where can I get information about Communism regularly?

Write the House Committee on Un-American Activities, Room 226, Old House Office Building, Washington, D . C., for information regarding official publications .

The first of a series on the Communist conspiracy and its influence in this country as a whole, on religion, on education, on labor and on our government

“No Communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become President of the present government.

When a Communist heads the government of the United States-and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises the government will not be a capitalist government but a Soviet government, and behind this government will stand the Red army to enforce the dictatorship of the proletariat.”

Sworn statement of
WILLIAM Z. FOSTER
Head of the Communist Party in the United States

How a limited government and private control over labor, resources and tools can stave off a Communist takeover of the U.S.

Click Here to Read a copy of the treaty

At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.

I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.

How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.

And the trouble is this; if that treaty is signed, if your Constitution says that it takes precedence over your Constitution, and you can’t resign from that treaty unless you get agreement from all the other state parties – And because you’ll be the biggest paying country, they’re not going to let you out of it.

So, thank you, America. You were the beacon of freedom to the world. It is a privilege merely to stand on this soil of freedom while it is still free. But, in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy, and your humanity away forever. And neither you nor any subsequent government you may elect will have any power whatsoever to take it back. That is how serious it is. I’ve read the treaty. I’ve seen this stuff about [world] government and climate debt and enforcement. They are going to do this to you whether you like it or not.

But I think it is here, here in your great nation, which I so love and I so admire – it is here that perhaps, at this eleventh hour, at the fifty-ninth minute and fifty-ninth second, you will rise up and you will stop your president from signing that dreadful treaty, that purposeless treaty. For there is no problem with climate and, even if there were, an economic treaty does nothing to [help] it.

So I end by saying to you the words that Winston Churchill addressed to your president in the darkest hour before the dawn of freedom in the Second World War. He quoted from your great poet Longfellow:

Sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!

In May 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the allied forces discovered a copy of these ‘Rules.’ They were first printed in the United States in the ‘Bartlesville, Oklahoma Examiner-Enterprise’ the same year, 1919.

Almost 20 years later, in 1946, the attorney general of Florida obtained them from a known member of the Communist Party, who acknowledged that the ‘Rules’ were then still a part of the Communist program for the United States.

Have we been witness to a hundred years long ploy undermine the strength and integrity of the American people?

Rules for Revolution:

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

2. Get control of all means of publicity. Get peoples’ minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.

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

4. Destroy the peoples’ faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances)

5. Always preach ;true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
