6. “Restore full academic freedom for students and faculties.” 7. Promote world-wide “youth friendship for peace and democracy,” drop all bars to the travel of youth. 8. Appropriate more money for schools, community centers, etc. That is the line designed for public consumption. Sounds acceptable, doesn’t it? But the communists are not genuinely interested in improving the status of American youth. For window-dressing, they always support items desired by most of the people: lower taxes, higher wages, better housing, old-age security, higher farm income. These are thoroughly legitimate interests. To support these aims, and many others, is not to be a communist. The Party is simply attempting to exploit such interests for its own selfish aims They become Party “talking points.” Behind this front, as in the call for world-wide youth friendship, more education, academic freedom, and so on, lurks the ulterior motive, the real Party line. The attractive “come along” points are merely bait. Look closely to see how the adoption of these demands, _as conceived by the Party_, would distort their true meanings and aid the communist cause: “_Restore the Bill of Rights_,” in communist language, means eliminating of legal opposition to communism, stopping all prosecution of communists, and granting amnesty to those presently in jail. “_Repeal the draft law_” and “_peace_” mean curtailing our national defense effort and allowing Russia to become militarily stronger than the United States. “_Increase trade with the Soviet Bloc_” means selling materials that could be used by the communist nations for armaments. “_Restore academic freedom_” means to communists that we should permit the official teaching of communist doctrine in all schools and that we should allow communists to infiltrate teaching staffs. If the communists had their way, America would be rendered helpless to protect herself. Incidentally, notice the communist use of the word “restore,” indicating that freedom is already gone and that the Party stands for its return. Now substitute “veterans” for “youth.” The approach is the same: Increased trade with all countries, including the communist bloc, would mean thousands of new jobs for _veterans_. “Restore” academic freedom so _veterans_ can think as they want. Promote world-wide _veteran_ friendship. Drop all bars to the travel of _veterans_. Also, it is good propaganda policy to add a few “come along” points appealing specifically to veterans. The technique continues: substitute “women,” “trade union members,” “nationality groups,” etc. The propaganda platform contains a combination of immediate “come along” demands, designed for deceptive and specialized appeal, and basic policy aimed to advance the communist cause. Thus the Party, through its specialized and immediate demands, is able to gain entree into various groups and create favorable working conditions for future revolutionary action. Very quickly, for example:
