Communist Strategy for Revolution Captured at Dusseldorf; 1919

Corrupt the young. Get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
Get control of all means of publicity and thereby:
1. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on sexy books, plays and other trivialities.

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

3. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt and ridicule.

4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

6. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

7. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.

Edit:

When The New York Times ran an article on this piece way back in 1970, it had already been circulating for about twenty-five years. The Times reported that neither the National Archives, the Library of Congress, nor university libraries had a copy of any such document. When Montana senator Lee Metcalf looked into the issue back then, he checked with the FBI, CIA, and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee; found that "exhaustive research" had proved the rules to be "completely spurious"; and noted that "the extreme right also follows rules, one of which is to make maximum use of false, misleading and fear-inspiring quotations."

Hah

Snopes or no Snopes he's still right, we have almost made it.

Replace *extreme right* then with *extreme left* now and that snopes quote and B's post are spot on.

That doesn't make any sense. Only the extreme right would be afraid of said bullets in B's post. The extreme left would gain nothing by spreading it.

I meant only the snopes quote as being reversed. It should have been two sentences. The second being B's bullets ring true again today.

Note: Several have made the claim that the "Communist Rules for Revolution" is an urban legend, referencing snopes.com as their source. My source, for this article, as well as my website, is a very, very old document that I have no reason to believe is not authentic. I question the source of the snopes.com claims for several reasons:

1. Obloquy is a word. It means censorious speech; reproachful language; language that casts contempt on men or their actions (Websters Dictionary; 1828). A supposed reporter didn't know this?

2. The word "sexy" became widely enough used during the Roaring 20's to be entered in the dictionary as a word, circa 1925. This means the word was around for several years before that time, making its use very possible in 1919.

3. The Bolshevik or October Revolution happened in 1917, Lenin came to power, and the Communist regime came to life in Russia. As a result guns were confiscated and many people lost their lives. Americans, even then, did not exist in a vacuum. To say that Americans fretting about the registration of firearms in 1919 "sounds out of place" is to show ignorance of history. In 1919 Americans were far more adamant about their constitutional rights than they are today.

It has been long known, and much written about, that three things are needed to destroy a nation from within; 1) destroy the moral fiber; 2) un-educate the people; and 3) disarm the populace. The "Communist Rules for Revolution" addresses all three.

hah!

bash, is your party capable of doing anything wrong?

Is any party capable of doing anything?

truest thing ive ever seen on this board pimp daddy

My parties are capable of getting you drunk. j/k

The U.S. will eventually fall, just like all the other great nations throughout time. I'm just hoping that the knowledge that has been aquired over the years is not lost in the process.

I will give you one clue why this "document" is very likely fabricated (by some American, heh!):

The part about disarming the populace. In Germany, guns were never free for everybody to own like in the U.S.

For me this passage is a) a strong hint that this "document" is fabricated and b) that it has been made up by an American, because to your nation the right to own and carry a gun seems to be absolutely vital.

Apart from that I really wonder whether there is a nation on earth more advanced in putting the instructions from above into effect than the U.S. (Apart from disarming you. That obviously is a very tough nut to crack. ).

Translate it into Latin and I'm completely certain the result was spoken many times before the Roman Empire fell

I'd actually expected much more; but I think the point is proved.
It's very probably 60 years old right-wing paranoiaganda from the commie witch-hunt age.

Oh, and I'm with Diedel on the firearms issue: outside the USA, it isn't one. QED.

Yea but the Romans were little pretty boys in skirts, we got guys like Hostile..so Heh!

Thanks Will.....I was just about to say.....I wasn't alive then. So let me rephrase my previous comment.


F*** that Snoop....not while I'm alive anyway.
