COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION in their words.

The list below is from a document called COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION which was captured by the Allied Forces in Dusseldorf in May of 1919.

A.  Corrupt the young, get them away from religion.  Get them interested in sex.  Make them superficial.  Destroy their ruggedness

B.  Get control of all means of publicity and thereby:

     1.  Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and 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, ridicule, and obloquy (disgrace).

     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 lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government towards such disorders.

     7.  By specious (plausible, appearing to be true but not true) argument, cause the breakdown of the OLD MORAL VIRTUES: honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

C.  Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with the view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.  (source: Fulton Lewis III)
