The 45 Rules of Communism: Understanding Their Impact on Modern America Part I

The Naked Communist, a book written by W. Cleon Skousen in 1958 and later read into Congress in 1963. In 1958, Cleon Skousen published "The Naked Communist," a book that outlined what he perceived as 45 Communist goals designed to undermine American society and institutions. Five years later, these goals were read into the Congressional Record by Florida Congressman Albert S. Herlong, Jr., bringing them into the public spotlight. As America navigates its political landscape today, it's worth revisiting these goals to understand their relevance and impact on our society. Critics argue that many of these goals have been subtly enacted over the past decades, influencing both governmental policies and societal norms. Observers point to various instances where these goals seem to manifest: Education: The goal of infiltrating the education system has been a point of contention. There have been debates over curriculum changes, perceived liberal biases in universities, and the promotion of secularism over traditional values. Media Influence: Control over the media and entertainment industries is seen by some as a realization of these Communist goals. The portrayal of values and narratives that some consider anti-American or overly progressive is often cited as evidence. Erosion of Family Values: The promotion of more permissive attitudes toward sex, marriage, and family structures is interpreted by some as an attempt to dismantle traditional family units, aligning with the Communist goal of breaking down cultural standards of morality. The debate over which political party pushes this agenda more is highly polarized. Conservatives often accuse the Democratic Party of adopting policies and cultural stances that align with these Communist goals. They point to progressive policies on social issues, education reforms, and media influence as evidence.On the other hand, Democrats argue that these accusations are unfounded and politically motivated. They claim that their policies aim to promote equality, freedom of expression, and modernization of outdated systems, not to subvert American values. It's essential for citizens to understand the historical context and the intended messages behind the 45 Communist goals. Awareness and critical thinking are crucial in evaluating current events and policies. Here are a few takeaways: Stay Informed: Keep abreast of changes in education, media, and government policies. Understanding the motivations and implications behind these changes is vital. Critical Evaluation: Question narratives from all sides of the political spectrum. Not every policy or cultural shift aligns with a Communist agenda, but some may resonate with the outlined goals. Engage in Dialogue: Engage in open and respectful discussions about these issues. Different perspectives can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the potential impact of these goals. Stay tuned for Part II.......
