On Communism
In December 1963, a congressman from Florida read into the Congressional Record a synopsis of Cleon Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist”, now known as “The 45 Goals of Communism.”
Aside from those goals pertaining to 1950s and 1960s Soviet Russia during the Cold War, the remaining communist goals are currently and actively being instituted.
The systemic infiltration of all American institutions and the clear attack on the family unit, with a specific focus on youth, are clear and alarming. They are obvious yet allusive, simple in concept yet definitely brilliant.
The following is an exact reproduction of the December 1963 congressional testimony entered into the record by Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida and represents a synopsis of Cleon Skousen’s Communism is NOT dead.
Your constitutional Republic and Free Market economy are in jeopardy of being taken over by modern global communism disguised as democracy, diversity, equity, and security.
Massive propaganda and fear campaigns are used to expand government authority, dissolve our privacy, and individual rights in the name of government-provided security.
45 Goals of Communism
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 demonstrate moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Socialist 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 Socialist 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 Germany question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U.S. 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 one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Socialist 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 Socialist 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 Socialist attack.
20.Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making 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,
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 because 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 world-wide 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" of social studies. 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 Socialist apparatus.
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 such 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 Socialist 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 U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
As the Chairman of the CCRP, I shared this with many of you several years ago, but I want all of you to re-familiarize yourself with these bullet points of communism. When you read this, you can see the struggles we face in defeating this ill informed doctrine.
We see it in our unions, culture, and schools everywhere, and it is sickening. We can’t give up, we can’t slow down, so stand tall with us; we are making progress.
With our progress in the 2024 election the democrats are riled up and their big-dollar supporters are funding new efforts to win in 2026. We just cannot let our guard down; the war is far from over. Sure, we tasted victory in the election of President Trump but this was but a skirmish in a larger war.
We have many more battles to win, so strap on your boots. We have a battle to win in 2026.
Your Chairman,
Susan Ruch, God Bless America, Nevada, Carson City, and You.
