Understanding Communism’s Manifestation in the U.S. with Reference to Two Books - “The Art of War” and “The Naked Communist”
Jan. 27, 2021 | By Xin Yian
(Minghui.org) The big battle between communism and the free world started as early as the era of Marxism and has been going on systematically all along for the past 170 odd years. It is also by no means an act by a few.
Planning
Speaking of battles or wars, most Chinese people would think of the famous book The Art of War by Sun Tzu, a well-known ancient Chinese general and military strategist (544 – 496 BC). They all know a common saying, “If you know yourself and your enemy, you'll never lose a battle.”
“Laying Plans” is the first chapter of the book The Art of War and it shows the utmost importance of having plans for whatever one does.
Sun Tzu said, “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
He also said at the end of the chapter: “Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.”
On January 20, 2021, America’s conservatives were forced to hand over the state power to the ultra-leftists. While feeling upset, many honest, kindhearted, and upright people were shocked at the shamelessness of the ultra-leftists and condemned their unspeakable perversion, hoping that in four years’ time the situation can be turned around through a normal and honest democratic election.
Seeing what has happened, I cannot help but wonder if the American people are too kind, or if they lack adequate understanding both about themselves and their opponents? Kindhearted people, especially those living in a seemingly democratic society, can never imagine the extent to which the evil beings are prepared to go in carrying out their plans. But I believe all those who woke up from darkness through the persecution and oppression by the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) understand what I am talking about.
The battle between good and evil is extraordinary. One must know oneself and one’s opponent, and one must plan carefully before one can implement the plans and gain victory. Therefore, good people with conscience and a sense of justice should immediately reflect upon their shortcomings, learn the lessons, so that they would not take things lightly again in the future. I hope we have all gained some enlightenment from the Divine, learned our lessons, and enriched our wisdom following the game-change in the U.S. on January 20, 2021.
Communists’ Subversion Schedule
Communists want to rule the world by controlling the United States. To achieve this goal, they openly showed their evil nature and could not care less about revealing their violent, vulgar, and vile character. They are not stupid, nor are they worried about others seeing through their true nature.
For those people, they might be thinking, “What can you do even if you know our true color? The courts are in our hands; Congress is in our hands; your money is in our banks; your children are in our schools; your livelihood depends on our companies; and your food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all under our control. The gangsters of the Paris Commune were our ancestors. Yes, I am a gangster. Who cares!”
Such is the communist way of thinking. Communists show their nakedness not only in their obscene promiscuity but also in the brutality and arrogance of their goals and tactics.
W. Cleon Skousen, a law specialist, said in his book The Naked Communist: Exposing Communism and Restoring Freedom: Communism teaches people to believe that “putting self-interest first is not evil,” and yet this should be the most cursed doctrine. People who truly accept this doctrine have neither conscience nor sense of honor. For them, violence, trickery, and perfidy are all justifiable.
The book Naked Communism: Exposing Communism and Restoring Freedom was published in the United States in 1958. Skousen’s professional field involved the principle of freedom, the U.S. Constitution, economics, ancient history and scriptures. He was also invited to compile a new constitution for Canada. In addition, Skousen also worked for the FBI for 16 years and taught as a university professor.
Florida Congressman Albert Herlong delivered a speech to Congress on January 10, 1963, during which he read out a list of 45 communist goals derived from Skousen’s book to remind people of the potential threat of communism.
Unfortunately, being so used to living in their comfort zone and enjoying the freedom they were born with, the kindhearted and optimistic Americans have gradually forgotten their enemy's staring eyes and the all-round comprehensive implementation of their plans.
Sixty-three years have gone by since the publication of Skousen’s book. Let us take a look at the Communist goals listed in the book and read out by Herlong during his speech, and we may be shocked to realize that most of them have already been achieved in the United States, which also influenced the Transfer of Power on January 20, 2021, after the 2020 U.S. election.
