Publish Year: 1948
Keywords: World-wide, totalitarian, terrorism, espionage, trade restrictions, corruption
Content #1(political ideology): "Whereas, there exists a world Communist movement which, in its origins, its development, and its present practice, is a world-wide revolutionary political movement whose purpose is, by treachery, deceit, infiltration into other groups(governmental and otherwise), espionage, sabotage, terrorism, and any other means deemed necessary, to establish a communist totalitarian dictatorship in all countries of the world through the medium of a single world-wide Communist political organization."
Content #2(political strategy): "...carry out the objectives of the world Communist movement by bringing about the overthrow existing governments...and among the method commonly used to accomplish this end in any particular country are (A) the disruption of trade and commerce, (B) the inciting of economic, social and racial strife and conflict, (C) the dissemination of propaganda calculated to undermine established government and institutions, and (D) corrupting officials of the government and securing the appointment of their agents and sympathizers to offices and positions in the government." ]]> 2018-11-26 05:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/307632458 Primary Source #2 yduan20211_1 https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/307637752 Source Name: The Communist Manifesto in America, American Bar Association Journal
Publish Year: 1948
Keywords: Nationalized commercial system, limited commercial practice, economic manipulation, GDP sustained on people's fear.
Content: "Not even a notable deficit is a deterrent to nationalization. Witness the British coal industry. Only a few years ago England exported coal. It is true that not all mines then make a profit. But what do we see today?---the entire industry operated at a loss and the country importing coal...So I suggest that the further drift to socialization be fought at every step. If it is to continue, the legal profession can expect to become employees of the state. Where the state owns the industry, who but government-employed lawyers advise that industry? When there is but one buyer or one seller of a commodity for the entire nation, as in Soviet Russia, it is submitted that the field of commercial practice will be limited."
"Evidently the Kremlin discovered that with all incentive gone, an equality of misery did not work and that some incentive must be provided...On the other hand, there is Siberia awaiting the sluggard or the disobedient. Capitalism still provides the incentives...But we do not have any convenient Siberia to which to send the recalcitrant." ]]> 2018-11-26 06:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/307637752 Primary Source #7 yduan20211_1 https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/307641463 Source Name: "Communism and Twisted Education" advertisement by defense contractor Canadair.

Publish year: 2005
Keywords: industrial loss due to drastic social reorganization.
Content: "Industry lost much of its productivity because former managers were eliminated and replaced by persons coming from working people who lacked education and professional skills.
Content: "The joining of the supplying and marketing system of the Soviet Union intensified the selling of industrial and agricultural products. In the circumstances of decreased imports, increased exports and a feverish buying of goods in the Estonian local market by Soviet soldiers, their family members and Soviet institutions, the economy, being under reorganization, failed to meet the increased demand and as a result, shortcomings appeared in supplying the industry and population with raw materials, machinery and consumer goods.
Content: "The Estonian banking and currency systems were entirely destroyed. All the banks were nationalized and reorganized by the end of 1940."]]> 2018-11-29 13:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/309275325 Secondary Source #2 yduan20211_1 https://padlet.com/yduan20211_1/1x5zn6mth0ec/wish/309602563 Source name:

Publish year: 2006
Content: "...Bolshevism was not socialism but an inverted form of force-based czarism, undemocratic and tyrannical; that it was futile and un-Marxian to try to force a largely feudal society into socialism before the structural and ideational precondition existed for such a transformation."
Content: "The more that western socialists borrowed from the Bolsheviks the more likely they were to suffer the consequences of an inevitable bourgeois suppression of all forms of revolutionary agitation and effort."
