(SPEECH BY THE AMERICAN COMMUNIST PARTY HEAD – 1958)“a part of that plan of course, is to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece, step by step, to various international organizations of which the United Nations is outstanding, but far from the only example. Step one, greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means of getting rid of ever larger sums of American money. 2. Implement wasteful and substantially higher and then much higher taxes. 3. Encourage wild inflation of our currency. 4. By establishment of government controls over places, wages and materials supposedly to come back after inflation. 5. Greatly increased socialistic controls over every operation of our economy and every activity of our daily lives. 6. This is to be accompanied by naturally and automatically by a corresponding huge increase in the size of our bureaucracy and in both the cost and reach of our domestic government. 7. Far more centralization of power in Washington and the practical elimination of our state lines. There is a many facetted drive at work to have our state lines eventually mean no more within the nation than out county lines do within the states. 8. The steady advance federal aid to and control over our educational system leading to complete federalization of our public education. 9. A constant hammering into American consciousness of the horror of modern warfare and the beauty and the absolute necessity of peace, peace always on communist terms of course and 10. The consequent willingness of the American people to allow the steps of appeasement by our government which amount to a piece meal surrender of the rest of the free world and of the United States itself.”
