Is it Now Too Late To Defeat Communism?
The incredible story of how the Communist conspiracy has in less than the average person's lifetime, from 1903 until the present time, advanced to the stage where it now stands within reach of its final objective - World Conquest.
WORLD COMMUNISM BY 1973?
International Communism is one of the great issues of our times. It dominates domestic politics and economics. Every day our newspapers, radios and television sets keep the Communist question before us as we are told of the latest statements by the Communist leaders, or of their numerous activities as they maintain a constant offensive against the non-Communist world.
One great danger is that many people are developing a cynical attitude, resulting from a feeling of hopelessness, as they see no apparent end to the struggle in their own lifetime. Another danger is the fact that many still clutch at any straw of apparent salvation, allow themselves to be drawn into "peace" movements and similar Communist-sponsored activities, and generally believe, or hope, that some form of "peaceful co-existence" is possible between the Communist and non-Communist worlds.
These people ignore the fact that the doctrine of "historical inevitability" is one of the major dynamics of the Communist revolution, and that when Mr. Khrushchev told the Western nations that he would "bury them", he means exactly what he said. The Communist leaders believe that Communism is destined to conquer the whole world. But, much more important, they believe that their final objective is now within near reach.
Those who think that we are exaggerating the Communist challenge are invited to honestly face the significance of the following facts: When Lenin established the first Bolshevik Party just after the dawn of this century, in 1903, he had only seventeen supporters. If we had been present when this handful of revolutionaries proclaimed their mission to give practical expression to the theories of Karl Marx and Engels, how we would have smiled at the thought of such a group overthrowing Western Civilization, and of eventually conquering the whole world. Let us remember that this was before the first great disaster of this century, the first World War. Europe had known comparative peace for a long time. The British Empire was strong and maintained law and order over a large area of the world, and the general picture appeared to support the view of those who felt that civilization would be progressively expanded.
But Lenin proposed to subvert and to overthrow traditional civilization. And further, he outlined how this revolution could be advanced. Fourteen years after establishing the first Bolshevik Party, Lenin and a mere 40,000 supporters conquered Russia and consolidated it as the base of world revolution. And today, only 58 years after the creation of Lenin's first party in 1903, the Marxist-Leninists not only directly control approximately one thousand million human beings, but they have highly disciplined supporters in every non-Communist country, many of them secret Communists in positions of influence, while enormous influence is wielded through numerous forms of propaganda. In the whole of recorded human history there is nothing comparable with the rate of expansion of Communism
. From 1917 until the present time, the Communists have enslaved people at the average rate of approximately one million every two weeks. The most dramatic Communist advances took place during and after the last world war. As we will see in this story of Communist expansion, the Communists were the major victors of the Second World War. The war in Europe finished with the Communists controlling the whole of Eastern Europe from the Baltic States in the North to the Balkans in the South. Further expansion Westwards took place when Czechoslovakia also passed under Communist control.
The war in Asia finished with the Communists controlling Manchuria as the necessary first step towards the conquest of China. Having taken China, increasing pressure has been successfully applied in what was once French Indo-China. Tibet has been raped, while Communist influence in the sub-continent of India is enormous.
In Indonesia the Communist Party is the strongest and best organised single group. Communist penetration into the Middle East has helped keep the major oil-bearing area for Europe in increasing ferment, while in Africa the Communists are making spectacular gains as the passions of primitive native peoples are whipped up and exploited. With the Castro revolution in Cuba, Communism has now established a geographical base in the Western Hemisphere, within 90 miles of America's coastline, and from Cuba the whole of Latin America is being inflamed by the Communist offensive. The Communists hold the initiative everywhere and they have every reason for confidence.
Communism does indeed appear to be "historically inevitable" and the non-Communist world to be doomed.
If we draw a graph showing the rate of Communism expansion over 58 years, and if we assume that the rate of expansion continues, we can accurately predict the date by which the Communists will have achieved their objective. Our graph shows that date to be between 1970 and 1973. And this coincides with the known fact that Communists have a timetable which aims at complete world conquest by approximately 1973.
Dr. Marek Stanislaw Korowicy, who defected from the Polish Communist delegation to the United Nations, gave evidence before the House Un-American Activities Committee on September 24, 1953.
He said that the Soviet master plan calls for world conquest between 1970 and 1980. Dr. Korowicy made it clear that the Communist leaders were confident that they could achieve their objective by "the progressive destruction of the cultural, economic and political foundations of the free world".
A major military conflict was not desired, as this could endanger Communist strategy.
Dr. Korowicy said that the Communists regarded the United Nations as one of the most important instruments for maintaining their ideological offensive against the West. He then made the significant observation that "The greatest defeat short of war for the Communists would be the loss of diplomatic relations with the West".
No amount of wishful thinking can alter the grim realities of the present situation. Only by first facing the truth can we work for salvation from the threat confronting us. The first and main essential is to understand how the present situation came about. Unless we are clear about this, we cannot know what is necessary to avert the final disaster.
When we come to consider how the Communist conspiracy has made such startling progress in such a comparatively short period in human history, there are only two alternative explanations.
The first explanation, and the one which fits in with the Communist ideological offensive, is what can be described as the village idiot theory: that events "just happen" and that individuals are not responsible. The basic Communist doctrine is that the development of Communism and the disintegration of "capitalism" are "historically inevitable".
If this view is accepted, then it strikes right at the heart of the Christian view that the individual is not at the mercy of trends" and that he can alter the course of events if he has the will to do so.
Furthermore, if Communism has within the span of less than one person's lifetime reached the stage where it is on the verge of achieving its ultimate objective of world conquest because of "trends", or because the non-Communist world has through sheer bad luck been represented by the wrong kind of politicians, then clearly the position is hopeless and we should passively await our fate.
But if we face the alternative explanation of the plight of the world, that events are in the main the results of policies stemming from philosophies and pursued consciously by individuals, then only can we see that there is legitimate hope.
Real history is not a series of disconnected episodes, but is crystallised politics. We must therefore traverse briefly the 58 years of Communist expansion and note the principal steps by which the Communists have steadily advanced towards their objective.
Many will be shocked to see how the real history of those 58 years is very different from that generally accepted. They will see how political leaders they have been taught to revere have beeen either conscious or unconscious dupes of the Communist conspiracy.
It is not pretended that the following highly condensed survey of the red pattern of World conquest deals with all aspects of a vast subject. But it does seek to clearly mark the main stream of the flow of events concerning Communist expansion. Once it is clearly grasped that this flow of events has been produced by the consistent actions of individuals holding a complete, although evil philosophy, then it can be seen that other individuals, holding strongly to an alternative philosophy, can successfully challenge the present flow of events and produce a flow in the opposite direction.
REVOLUTION THROUGH WAR
Back in 1925 Stalin said that when war came, "We shall be forced to enter into it. But we must enter it last". (Quoted in Stephan T. Possony's A Century of Conflict, Regnery, 1953.)
The inter-relationship between war and revolution was constantly stressed by the Communist leaders, but this basic aspect of Communist strategy was almost completely ignored in the non-Communist countries, with the result that a revolutionary organisation which welcomed war to further its objectives, was able to create widespread movements which helped weaken the non-Communist countries militarily. Nothing could be more typical of the complete cynicism of the Communist tacticians, than their encouragement of pacifism everywhere as part of their grand strategy for war.
The Communists only eased their anti-war campaigns in France and England for a short period in the thirties when they feared that war might start before they were ready to exploit it. They did not want Germany to be too strong in relationship to the other nations.
The Communists' close interest in the possible use of Germany as a means of advancing the revolution was evident right from the time that Lenin and his associates had established in Russia a base for World Revolution. Lenin originally thought that his programme for world revolution would be initiated through revolution in Germany, but he quickly altered his strategy when he saw that he had misjudged the situation in Germany.
It is vital to a full understanding of our story that we draw attention to the fact that Lenin realised in 1920 that immediate victory in the West was impossible and that he then stressed the importance of the Communists directing their main efforts on China and the colonial countries.
Lenin crystallised his strategy in his famous observation that the shortest route to London and Paris was through Peking.
He also said that the European Powers could be best attacked through their colonies.
When Lenin died Stalin took over his strategy. Although top priority was given to China and the European colonies, Communist activities in the West were not lessened. The policy of promoting war was never lost sight of, and the German situation was given special attention. There was a close relationship between the two countries and those who believe that Hitler, the National Socialist, came to power in Germany in the face of united and bitter opposition from the Communists have accepted uncritically one of the most successful of Communist propaganda hoaxes.
It is true that German Communists were not united on the question of bringing Hitler to power, but there is no doubt whatever that Stalin and his associates in Russia favoured Hitler simply because they felt that this was the correct tactic to advance Communist strategy. Events unfortunately proved Stalin correct.
Dr. Karl August Wittfogel, an authority on Russo-German relations who was in Russia in 1932 and discussing the German question with prominent Communist leaders, has stated: "I myself thought at first that Russian Communists were just dumb. Gradually I realised myself that this was a very big strategy to get one of the great wars of modern times going. This took some time, but it succeeded in 1939."
Wittfogel pointed out that the fight between the German Communists and the German Social Democrats was engineered by the Commitern in order to bring Hitler to power. The Communists "would have preferred a military conservative government", but "They took Hitler. He was the lesser evil."
(Hearings before the Sub-committee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and other Internal Security Laws of the Committee on the Judiciary, The Institute of Public Relations, Part 1 U.S. Congress. 1st Sess. Washington. D.C. Government Printers' Offices, 1951. pp. 323 ...)
At the appropriate time in 1939 Stalin signed his non-aggression pact with Hitler and thus played a decisive role in precipitating a war which the Communists confidently believed could be used to expand their revolutionary strategy. Events proved the Communists correct.
The Second World War accomplished most of what the Communist strategists planned. As Mao Tse-tung, the Chinese Communist leader, and recognised authority on Marxism-Leninism, says in his book, People's Democratic Dictatorship (Lawrence and Wishart, London, 1950, p.9), "It would be a great mistake to underestimate the significance of the (communist) victory of the second world war.' Mao pointed out, the war "resulted in the downfall of three great imperialist powers and the weakening of two others."
"THE ROOSEVELT MYTH"
The Great Depression of the thirties was a godsend to the Communists for many reasons. It not only enabled the Communists to recruit an increased number of supporters into their ranks, and shattered the faith of many people in the traditionally free society, but it helped bring Hitler to power in Germany while in the U.S.A. Franklin D. Roosevelt was swept to office in 1933 primarily on a pledge to deal with the Depression.
The election of Roosevelt proved to be an event of tremendous historical importance, because it was the policies of Roosevelt and those surrounding him, both before and during the war, which are largely responsible for the present desperate plight of the world.
When John Kennedy won the 1960 American Presidential Elections, Khrushchev congratulated him and expressed the hope that there would be a return to the spirit of the Roosevelt era. Well might Khrushchev express such a wish, because no political leader in the West did more to help the Communist advance than did Roosevelt, a man whose real image has never been shown by those who create "world opinion". It is therefore to other sources that we must turn to gain an understanding of the real character of the man who gave Stalin practically all he demanded.
The real Roosevelt has been most completely revealed in The Roosevelt Myth (Devin-Adair, 1948, 1st edition), by the American writer and historian, John T. Flynn, who shows that Roosevelt was a very different kind of man from the one built up by propaganda. Flynn's study brings out the fact that modern mass propaganda can be used in a so-called democratic society as well as in a totalitarian one to create a completely false picture of a political leader. Roosevelt's whole career was one of broken promises and betrayals. He allowed all members of his family to blatantly commercialise his position. When his early New Deal legislation was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, Roosevelt had no scruples about attempting to subvert the constitution by stacking the Court with political nominees.
The better men surrounding Roosevelt at the start of his Presidency progressively left him as they came to realise his true character. Roosevelt had no basic philosophy, but was a shrewd political manager prepared to accept any proposal which would maintain him in political power. The Communists in the U.S.A. soon realised that Roosevelt was an ideal man for their purposes and they played a prominent role in assisting Roosevelt in his Presidential campaigns.
One of Roosevelt's first major actions was to recognise Soviet Russia. All previous American Administrations had refused to grant recognition to the Communists. American recognition came at a critical time for the Communist regime in Russia, which was faced with growing internal problems resulting from the forced collectivisation of farming. It enabled direct American industrial assistance to be given. The manner in which politics are dominated by economics was demonstrated by the support which conservative business interests gave the recognition of Soviet Russia in order that they might solve some of their growing problems by exporting to Russia.
Basic Communist teaching emphasises how the "contradictions" in the capitalist economy inevitably help further the development of Communism.
No sooner had the Soviet leaders obtained Roosevelt's diplomatic recognition than they started to violate the solemn promise they gave not to interfere in America's internal affairs. They already had a small espionage system operating, but now they were able to expand it extensively. The numerous agencies established by the Roosevelt Administration to advance its New Deal program, were soon swarming with Communists, Socialists and other intellectuals who were starry-eyed about Soviet Russia. Many of the Communists were not known as Communists and it was these individuals who, by the time war started in 1939, were in influential positions in all parts of the Government.
After visiting the U.S.A. to study the New Deal in operation, one prominent British Socialist returned to Great Britain and reported that while the British Socialists were talking about Communism, the New Dealers and Communists were practicing it in the U.S.A. Roosevelt was strongly influenced by Mrs. Roosevelt, who in turn was always moving in Communist circles. It is hard to realise that during this period Mrs. Roosevelt had large numbers of known Communists staying at the White House, and that she often entertained Communist groups there. She was often described as the "Red Queen."
The Committee of Un-American Activities has listed no less than 56 Communist-front organisations with which Mrs. Roosevelt has been associated with since 1933. When the Dies Committee in the U.S.A. started investigating Communist activities in the U.S.A. prior to the outbreak of war, Roosevelt sent for Dies and told him to cease his work against Communists. When Dies refused to do so, he was smeared by tile Roosevelt Administration all over America.
During the war Roosevelt, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces permitted known Communists to hold Commissions. He was specifically warned by one of his top officials concerning Communist agents in the Administration, but told his official to "take a walk." Right up until the time of his death after the disastrous Yalta Conference of 1945, Roosevelt persisted with his policy of appeasing the Communists on every major issue.
The extent of Communist influence in the third Roosevelt Administration may be judged by one incident alone. In 1942 the Communists were able to extract from the American State Department a pledge that the U.S. would not oppose the Chinese Communists, that it would not support Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leader, in civil war, and that it would work for unity in China. The pledge was given in written form to Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party at that time, by Sumner Welles, Under-Secretary of State. Browder had the pledge published in the Communist Daily Worker of October 16, 1942. Here was American foreign policy being dictated by the Communists and openly announced through the Communist press.
As we proceed with our story, we will note other examples of the Roosevelt Administrations being used to advance Communist policies. Although the peoples of the British Empire have been told by those responsible for the Roosevelt myth, that Roosevelt was a great admirer of the British and brought a reluctant America into the war primarily to help the British, the truth is that Roosevelt was not only a trenchant critic of the British Empire, but right throughout the war exerted pressure to break up the Empire. He attempted to force the British to leave India during the war, and even went so far as to promise the Chinese that he would help get the British out of Hong Kong.
Roosevelt's eldest son, Elliott, in his frank revelations, As He Saw It, quotes many statements by his father concerning his persistent hatred of the British Empire.
In private Churchill complained to Roosevelt, "Mr. President, I believe you are trying to do away with the British Empire", while in public he made his famous declaration. "We mean to hold our own. I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire."
Roosevelt's attitude towards the British Empire was of great importance to the Communists' strategy. As the former Communist, D. Dallin, and other experts on Communism have pointed out, a strong British Empire was a barrier to Communist expansion right around the globe, and Communist strategy has always been primarily concerned with disintegrating the British Empire. There is no doubt that Roosevelt's war-time policy of consistently supporting the Communists against the British stemmed largely from his anti-British Empire attitude. There were, of course, commercial and other interests in the U.S.A. which were also keen to see the unity of the British world broken, an important aspect of the situation which the Communists fully understood.
It is unfortunate that many Americans, because of their history, readily accept Communist propaganda concerning the "evils of European colonialism", and have never considered this question realistically or examined it against the background of basic Communist strategy for conquering the world.
Roosevelt's anti-colonial bias was also shared by many of his associates, who demonstrated that they knew little or nothing about either colonialism or Communism. For example Cordell Hull, Roosevelt's Secretary of State, wrote in his Memoirs (p.1151), "We had definite ideas with respect to the future of the British Colonial Empire, on which we differed from the British."
Like the Communists, Roosevelt and many of his associates saw the war not merely as a campaign to destroy Hitler, but as one to obtain other objectives.
It is important that we bear this important fact in mind.
In his book, Crusade in Europe (pp. 473-74), Eisenhower also revealed quite clearly that he shared Roosevelt's delusions concerning the alleged similarities between the Russians and the Americans as opposed to the "imperialism" of the British. Eisenhower wrote that "in the past relations of America and Russia there was no cause to regard the future with pessimism".
He went on to say that both Russia and America were "free from the stigma of colonial empire building by force. "
The tragedy for Western Civilisation was that while Roosevelt and his associates were insistent that the war must not finish with the "wicked" British and other European "imperialists" regaining control of their colonies and continuing the work of civilising, in some cases, stone-age natives, they were prepared to allow the Communists to take control of Eastern European peoples with a long tradition of culture and civilisation.
The terrible results of this preference for Communist imperialism as compared with European colonisation, are now clear for all to see.

International Communism is one of the great issues of our times. It dominates domestic politics and economics.

The better men surrounding Roosevelt at the start of his Presidency progressively left him as they came to realise his true character. Roosevelt had no basic philosophy, but was a shrewd political manager prepared to accept any proposal which would maintain him in political power. The Communists in the U.S.A. soon realised that Roosevelt was an ideal man for their purposes and they played a prominent role in assisting Roosevelt in his Presidential campaigns.
One of Roosevelt's first major actions was to recognise Soviet Russia. All previous American Administrations had refused to grant recognition to the Communists. American recognition came at a critical time for the Communist regime in Russia, which was faced with growing internal problems resulting from the forced collectivisation of farming. It enabled direct American industrial assistance to be given. The manner in which politics are dominated by economics was demonstrated by the support which conservative business interests gave the recognition of Soviet Russia in order that they might solve some of their growing problems by exporting to Russia.
Basic Communist teaching emphasises how the "contradictions" in the capitalist economy inevitably help further the development of Communism.
No sooner had the Soviet leaders obtained Roosevelt's diplomatic recognition than they started to violate the solemn promise they gave not to interfere in America's internal affairs. They already had a small espionage system operating, but now they were able to expand it extensively. The numerous agencies established by the Roosevelt Administration to advance its New Deal program, were soon swarming with Communists, Socialists and other intellectuals who were starry-eyed about Soviet Russia. Many of the Communists were not known as Communists and it was these individuals who, by the time war started in 1939, were in influential positions in all parts of the Government.
After visiting the U.S.A. to study the New Deal in operation, one prominent British Socialist returned to Great Britain and reported that while the British Socialists were talking about Communism, the New Dealers and Communists were practicing it in the U.S.A. Roosevelt was strongly influenced by Mrs. Roosevelt, who in turn was always moving in Communist circles. It is hard to realise that during this period Mrs. Roosevelt had large numbers of known Communists staying at the White House, and that she often entertained Communist groups there. She was often described as the "Red Queen."
The Committee of Un-American Activities has listed no less than 56 Communist-front organisations with which Mrs. Roosevelt has been associated with since 1933. When the Dies Committee in the U.S.A. started investigating Communist activities in the U.S.A. prior to the outbreak of war, Roosevelt sent for Dies and told him to cease his work against Communists. When Dies refused to do so, he was smeared by tile Roosevelt Administration all over America.
During the war Roosevelt, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces permitted known Communists to hold Commissions. He was specifically warned by one of his top officials concerning Communist agents in the Administration, but told his official to "take a walk." Right up until the time of his death after the disastrous Yalta Conference of 1945, Roosevelt persisted with his policy of appeasing the Communists on every major issue.
The extent of Communist influence in the third Roosevelt Administration may be judged by one incident alone. In 1942 the Communists were able to extract from the American State Department a pledge that the U.S. would not oppose the Chinese Communists, that it would not support Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leader, in civil war, and that it would work for unity in China. The pledge was given in written form to Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party at that time, by Sumner Welles, Under-Secretary of State. Browder had the pledge published in the Communist Daily Worker of October 16, 1942. Here was American foreign policy being dictated by the Communists and openly announced through the Communist press.
As we proceed with our story, we will note other examples of the Roosevelt Administrations being used to advance Communist policies. Although the peoples of the British Empire have been told by those responsible for the Roosevelt myth, that Roosevelt was a great admirer of the British and brought a reluctant America into the war primarily to help the British, the truth is that Roosevelt was not only a trenchant critic of the British Empire, but right throughout the war exerted pressure to break up the Empire. He attempted to force the British to leave India during the war, and even went so far as to promise the Chinese that he would help get the British out of Hong Kong.
Roosevelt's eldest son, Elliott, in his frank revelations, As He Saw It, quotes many statements by his father concerning his persistent hatred of the British Empire.
In private Churchill complained to Roosevelt, "Mr. President, I believe you are trying to do away with the British Empire", while in public he made his famous declaration. "We mean to hold our own. I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire."
Roosevelt's attitude towards the British Empire was of great importance to the Communists' strategy. As the former Communist, D. Dallin, and other experts on Communism have pointed out, a strong British Empire was a barrier to Communist expansion right around the globe, and Communist strategy has always been primarily concerned with disintegrating the British Empire. There is no doubt that Roosevelt's war-time policy of consistently supporting the Communists against the British stemmed largely from his anti-British Empire attitude. There were, of course, commercial and other interests in the U.S.A. which were also keen to see the unity of the British world broken, an important aspect of the situation which the Communists fully understood.
It is unfortunate that many Americans, because of their history, readily accept Communist propaganda concerning the "evils of European colonialism", and have never considered this question realistically or examined it against the background of basic Communist strategy for conquering the world.
Roosevelt's anti-colonial bias was also shared by many of his associates, who demonstrated that they knew little or nothing about either colonialism or Communism. For example Cordell Hull, Roosevelt's Secretary of State, wrote in his Memoirs (p.1151), "We had definite ideas with respect to the future of the British Colonial Empire, on which we differed from the British."
Like the Communists, Roosevelt and many of his associates saw the war not merely as a campaign to destroy Hitler, but as one to obtain other objectives.
It is important that we bear this important fact in mind.
In his book, Crusade in Europe (pp. 473-74), Eisenhower also revealed quite clearly that he shared Roosevelt's delusions concerning the alleged similarities between the Russians and the Americans as opposed to the "imperialism" of the British. Eisenhower wrote that "in the past relations of America and Russia there was no cause to regard the future with pessimism".
He went on to say that both Russia and America were "free from the stigma of colonial empire building by force. "
The tragedy for Western Civilisation was that while Roosevelt and his associates were insistent that the war must not finish with the "wicked" British and other European "imperialists" regaining control of their colonies and continuing the work of civilising, in some cases, stone-age natives, they were prepared to allow the Communists to take control of Eastern European peoples with a long tradition of culture and civilisation.
The terrible results of this preference for Communist imperialism as compared with European colonisation, are now clear for all to see.
