1. What is Communism?
A system by which one small group seeks to rule the world.

2. Has any nation ever gone Communist in a free election?
No.

3. Then how do the Communists try to get control? 
Legally or illegally, any way they can. Communism’s first big victory was through bloody revolution. Every one since then has been by military conquest, or internal corruption, or the threat of these. 
CONSPIRACY is the basic method of Communism in countries it is trying to capture. 
IRON FORCE is the basic method of Communism in countries it has already captured.

from a congressional publication titled “100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U.S.A.” prepared and released by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (yes, that one) in 1951. 

I have the whole series of these downloaded onto my computer. They’re literally like…gold. The language and logic used is so familiar, but also so overblown and paranoid that it’s completely hilarious?

How did they know what I was planning in 1951?
