IMO interesting...
The Naked Communist, by Cleon Skousen:
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
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.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
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.
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, 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.
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."
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.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. 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].
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.
42. 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.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
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. http://www.restoringamerica.org/documents/45_goals_of_communism.html

speaking of those damn commies. 
"West can defuse terror threat by sharing prosperity with world!":
former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday
TORONTO (CP) - Western nations can defuse the terrorist threat that looms over wealthy countries by sharing their prosperity with the half of humanity that feels the system "is rigged against them," former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday.
Security policies alone will never thwart the destructive ambitions of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, Clinton told an audience attending a motivational seminar in Toronto.
"We have no excuse now for not building a world with more partners and fewer terrorists," he said.
"We cannot kill, jail or occupy all of our enemies, we cannot have a security policy only."
Clinton, in Toronto during a speaking tour of three Canadian cities that ends Wednesday in Calgary, spoke of his vision of a more secure and equitable world.
"We have to find a way to reach out to the half of the people in the world who think we don't care about them and, in fact, that we've got the system rigged against them," he told the audience, many who paid as much as $1,300 to attend the day-long event.
"Unless we can do this we can never hope to build a world totally free of terror, or dangerous weapons, or human conflict."
Non-governmental organizations and the Internet will be instrumental in allowing citizens of western countries to affect real change in the developing world, he said.
Clinton noted that charitable donations from individuals, when taken together, outstripped those of governments during the relief effort in the wake of tsunamis that ravaged southeast Asia last year.
Clinton also talked about Toronto's SARS crisis in 2003, which he said illustrated the political power of the Internet.
"When people in Canada were terrified about (SARS) in the beginning, the Chinese government was denying that it was such a big deal," he said. The people of China jammed their government's website, demanding to know the truth about the threat the disease posed.
"The government heard them, and a terrible calamity was avoided. An epidemic that could have killed tens of thousands of people was shut down."
That power will soon enable individuals to bring prosperity to the developing world, he noted.
"We know how to promote economic growth through aid trade and debt relief. We know how to get the 130 million children who aren't in school in school," Clinton said.
"You have the power now to do things citizens in the entire history of humanity have never been able to do, because of the rise of the Internet and the rise of the non-governmental organizations."
Tuesday's speech differed little from the one the former U.S. president delivered the night before in London, Ont., save for observations on the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber dispute that were weaved into what was billed as a discussion of U.S.-Canadian relations.
Clinton has translated his gifts as an orator into a lucrative career, commanding about US$150,000 per engagement.

In logic, we call this an "ad hominem argument," or at least that's what your implied argument would be. It is apparent that you are trying to refute certain ideas simply because the communists supported them. In order for your argument to have any validity, you'd have to explain what's bad about communism, and then say what each point has to do with it. The fact is that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Karl Marx, despite the failure of his ideology to be successfully put into practice, still had some good ideas. Hell, even Hitler had a few good ideas.

...and what made Cleon Skousen such an expert of Communist foreign policy? Why does his opinion even matter?

Reminds me of this. The humor here may be lost on some.
