(Minghui.org) When the United States was founded, the republic system explicitly opposed monarchy, and emphasized the rule of law and the separation of government powers. Later the democratic system came about and emphasized the direct and indirect participation of the people in decision-making – this focus on popular sovereignty and majority rule rationalized the mass importation of illegal aliens and their voting in U.S. elections.

The democratic system seems to be compatible with the republic system. While a republic emphasizes non-monarchy – power is exercised by the people or their representatives, and leadership is not hereditary – it focuses on checks and balances within the government structure.

Many people in the U.S. think that communism is something faraway or non-existent. This may not be the case. People need to wake up to the fact that the specter of communism has been manipulating mankind with the goal of destroying it, and the United States is the one thing that stands in its way. To reach its goal, the specter has been slowly infiltrating every aspect of the U.S. and gradually turning it into a communist country.

To better understand how close communism is to being realized in the United States, we should take a look at how communism manifests in the free world from the following aspects:

Severance Between Man and God

The education system in the U.S. prohibits open prayer and teaches evolution and atheism. Man is categorized as part of the animal kingdom, and is encouraged to express his beast-like nature instead of following traditional morals.

In the spiritual communities, modern science and religious leaders have replaced the roles of God and the Creator. Family values are no longer encouraged, instead, abandoning family responsibility, promiscuity, abortion, and divorce are promoted. Parents are deprived of the right to educate their own children.

Private Ownership Eliminated

Through building a big government and unions, the government controls people’s lives, education, medical care, housing, and trade. People thus become overly reliant on the government. The influence of communism will continue to expand until it dictates all aspects.

Wiping Out Conventional Social and Political Systems

In the U.S., the republic system is being replaced by the democratic system. Meanwhile socialism or communism is being injected into the society through violence. A group of people is using violence to overthrow the current social system so that they can freely steal, destroy, kill and seize taxpayers’ property. Hatred, violence, and fear have become part of people’s lives.

The Naked Communist (1958) by W. Cleon Skousen exposed the 45 goals in the communist agenda that target mostly the United States. They are:

1) Promote communism in education and government control of schools to cultivate obedient citizens.2) Control the news media and narratives.3) Break down families and schools, encourage students to rebel against their parents and teachers.4) Undermine traditional religions in order to eliminate people’s reliance on God and religions.5) Undermine faith in the U.S. Constitution and diminish its importance.6) Abolish traditional values such as respect for marriage and family.7) Limit the U.S. military power and weaken its national defense.8) Allow labor unions to control all industries.9) Destroy all forms of private property, and eliminate wealth disparity through coercive measures.10) Eliminate U.S. sovereignty and strengthen international cooperation.11) Collect more money for the government through widespread taxation policies.12) Insert foreign communist agents in government positions.13) Carry out cultural erosion and promote communism through movies, plays, and commercials.14) Prioritize international law over the U.S. Constitution.15) Undermine public trust in the military and government.16) Push for long tenures for public officials so they can advance political agendas.17) Guide the country toward socialism through legal processes.18) Support violence and riots to create social unrest in the United States.19) Lower the quality of education so the people cannot discern between different ideologies.20) Weaken the operation of private sectors through taxation and regulations.21) Infiltrate western politics through the United Nations.22) Encourage riots and stir up public discontent.23) Overthrow the capitalist countries through diplomatic means and collaboration with other socialist countries.24) Restrict religious freedom, especially the influence of Christianity.25) Enforce social welfare to give the government complete control over people’s lives.26) Suppress the middle class and traditional elites.27) Eliminate all forms of political dissent.28) Undermine public trust in the police and military.29) Build a massive social security system to give the government complete control over people.30) Cancel financial aid to the poor to create “reasonable control” over the poor.31) Limit individual freedom of speech and thought, especially in the education and cultural domains.32) Ensure everyone receives socialist education.33) Mobilize the entire society to promote communism in all walks of life.34) Monitor every citizen through state supervision and management.35) Implement universal health care and welfare state policies to control the public.36) Slowly take away individual freedom and control individual choices.37) Have everyone report their actions to the government.38) Suppress voices of dissidents through legal actions.39) Encourage radical social movements on issues such as gender, race, and immigration.40) Educate the people to approve the values of globalism and communism.41) Expand government control over workers and the means of production.42) Gradually abolish trade barriers between countries to promote globalization.43) Eliminate allegiance to the country, particularly the U.S. Constitution.44) Eliminate public-private partnerships and solidify communist control.45) Achieve complete globalization of socialist order through these means.

The list helps us see that the majority of these communist goals have been realized in the U.S. The truth concerns the future of the U.S. and the harsh reality mankind currently faces.
