Ed Mahmoud's Sock Puppet commented over at LGF and reminded me of the following that is a good idea to know. My Mom got me the book. Seems to me they achieved many of their goals.
This was entered into the Congressional Record in 1963, taken from a book called "The Naked Communist".
The goals of the Communist Party. Some of my favorites/working best for the Communists.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength
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.)
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. (Ed-Mission accomplished)
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 Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
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.
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."
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.
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.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. (Ed- Mission Accomplished)
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.

The socialist dream rising again would be realised only at the expense of the followers of many leaders including perhaps those of the Aga Khan and the newly refreshed Costa Rican government
Man, that's depressing. Like getting a full-body MRI and finding that tumors have infiltrated every major system.
Time for some radiation therapy...and chemo...and a good dose of prayer.
It's a play-by-play accounting of the communist handbook, and it wasn't too long ago that virtually all Americans would've recognized it.
All the more reason to speak out, vote, and blog (write letters to the editor), etc., I reckon!
