Masters of deceit : $b The story of Communism in America and how to fight it
Hoover, J. Edgar (John Edgar)
Communism -- United States
That’s why every possible tactic is used inside the courtroom to
obstruct the orderly operation of justice. Outside, another attack is
coordinated: letter-writing campaigns, fund-raising drives, propaganda
leaflets, literature, all alleging that the communists on trial are
being “persecuted” and that American courts are “unfair,” “partial,” and
“undemocratic.”
Another weapon in the Party’s underground arsenal is the attempted
infiltration of our armed forces. “Illegal work is particularly necessary
in the army, the navy and police,” Lenin proclaimed. Another communist
writer adds, “The capitalist class has the army, navy and police at its
disposal precisely for the purpose of keeping the working class from
seizing power.”
Yet, in the final analysis, as the communists well know, force and
violence will be needed to bring about the revolution.
In fact this is exactly what Khrushchev had in mind when he told the
Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union:
... Our enemies like to depict us Leninists as advocates of
violence always and everywhere. True, we recognize the need
for the revolutionary transformation of capitalist society
into socialist society. It is this that distinguishes the
revolutionary Marxists from the reformists, the opportunists.
There is no doubt that in a number of capitalist countries the
violent overthrow of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and
the sharp aggravation of class struggle connected with this are
inevitable....
Over 100 years ago Marx and Engels made this point perfectly clear in the
_Communist Manifesto_. “The Communists disdain to conceal their views and
aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the
forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.” Lenin was more
pointed:
As long as capitalism and socialism exist, we cannot live in
peace: in the end, one or the other will triumph—a funeral
dirge will be sung either over the Soviet Republic or over
world capitalism.
Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev reveals his own hypocrisy when, in
the same breath, he boasts that the communist world has no aggressive
intentions and then declares as he did in August, 1957, “We are Leninists
and are for peaceful cooperation.” Through the use of Aesopian language
he is seeking to induce the Western world to relax its guard until the
time when the communist world is ready to launch its offensive and hopes
to chant the “funeral dirge” over the free world.
How can loyal Americans resist this attack? I turn to this subject in the
concluding chapters.

_What Can You Do?_
The responsible person who gains an understanding of communism knows that
such understanding should lead to the question: “But what can I do about
it?”
My answer is that we can do _a lot_.
