DISTRUST OF COMMUNIST TACTICS 37-38
57. "In the beginning communism showed itself for what it was in all its perversity but very soon it realized that it was thus alienating the people. It has therefor changed its tactics, and strive to entire the multitude by trickery of various forms, hiding its real designs behind ideas that in themselves are good and attractive. Thus, aware of the universal desire for peace, the leaders of communism pretend to be the most zealous promoters and propagandists in the movement for world amity.
"Yet at the same time they stir up a class-warfare which causes rivers of blood to flow, and realizing that their system offers no internal guarantee of peace, they have recourse to unlimited armaments. Under various names which do not suggest communism, they establish organizations and periodicals with the sole purpose of carrying their ideas into quarters otherwise inaccessible. They try perfidiously to worm their way even into professedly Catholic and religious organizations. Again, without receding an inch form their subversive principles, they invite Catholics to cooperate with them in the realm of so-called humanitarian and charity, and at times even make proposals that are in perfect harmony with the Christian spirit and the doctrine of the Church....
58.. See to it, Venerable Brethren, that the Faithful do not allow themselves to be deceived! Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever.
Communism in Theory and Practice (Doctrine)
8. The communism of today, more emphatically than similar movements in the past, conceals in itself a false messianic idea. A pseudo-ideal of justice, of equality and fraternity in labor impregnates all its doctrine and activity with a deceptive mysticism, which communicates a zealous and contagious enthusiasm to the multitudes entrapped delusive promises.
This is especially true in an age like ours, when unusual misery has resulted from the unequal distribution of the goods of this world. This psuedo-ideal is even boastfully advanced as if were responsible for certain economic progress. As a matter of fact, when such progress is at all real, its true causes are quite different, as for instance the intensification of industrialism in countries which were formerly almost without it...
Marxist Evolutionary Materialism
9. The doctrine of modern communism, which is often concealed under the most seductive trappings, is in substance based on the principles of dialectical and historical materialism previously advocated by Marx, of which the theoricians of bolshevism claimk to possess the only genuine interpretation.
According to this doctrine there is in the world only one reality, matter, the blind forces of which evolve into plant, animal and man.
Even human society is nothing but a phenomena and form of matter, evolving in the same way. By a law of inexorable necessity and through a perpetual conflict of forces, matter moves towards the final synthesis of a classless society.
In such a doctrine, as is evident, there is no room for the idea of God: there is no difference between matter and spirit, between soul and body; there is neither survival of the sou; after death nor any hope in a future life. Insisting on the dialectical aspect of their materialism, the communists claim that the conflict which carries the world towards its final synthesis can be accelerated by man.
Hence they endeavor to sharpen the antagonism which arise between the various classes of society. Thus the class-struggle with consequent violent hate and destruction takes on the aspect of a crusade for the progress of humanity.... all other forces whatever, as long as they resist such systematic violence, must be annihilated as hostile to the human race.
George H. Kubeck
Communists are masters of deceit and deception. Today in the U.S., the Leftists use their techniques.
