Communist Strategy for Revolution Captured at Dusseldorf; 1919

  1. Corrupt the young.  Get them away from religion.  Get them interested in sex.  Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
  2. Get control of all means of publicity and thereby:

1.   Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on sexy books, plays and other trivialities.

2.   Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.

3.   Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt and ridicule.

4.   Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.

5.   By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.

6.   Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.

7.   By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.

  1. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.
