Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla.,
“The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen
1.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.”
2.Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
3.Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
4.Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
5.Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
6.Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
7.Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
8.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].
9.Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
10.Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
11.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.
12.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.
13.Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
14.Internationalize the Panama Canal.
15.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 domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. [Too many incidents of this occurring to enumerate, but perhaps the most seminal was Roe v. Wade that occurred exactly ten years later, and then there are the many rulings legalizing homosexuality/g@y unions and other sexual deviancy. –Ed.]
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, 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, 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.”
