Stalin’s Order to the CPUSA, 1932

RELIGION: By philosophy, mysticism, the development of liberal cults, and the furtherance of atheism, to discredit all Christian creeds.

ETHICAL: Corrupt morality by advocating promiscuity and advising high school and university students to practice same; introduction of companionate marriage ideas; advocation of legalized abortions; advancement of theoretical interracial practices—marriage of white women to colored men—by actual consummation through willing participants where obtainable.  Destruction of the family, abolition of inheritance, even to the extent of names; destruction of all records of title, birth and family history.

AESTHETIC: Cultivation of the ugly, futuristic and aberrant in art, literature, the drama and music, the practice of crude orientalism, modernism, and degenerate perversion.

SOCIOLOGICAL:  Abolition of social opposition by subversive practices; the display of vulgar extravagance, promotion and exaggeration of all social and economic conditions, political corruption, etc., to create unrest, suspicion and revolt by the workers, intensify class war.

INDUSTRIAL AND FINANCIAL: Create mistrust of banks by circulation of rumors of instability and distress.  Destroy ideals in craftsmanship and pride of workmanship; set up—by series of public talks by professors of sociology and others—the picture of a golden serpent of profit.  Standardization of the cheap and shoddy; advocate the state monopoly of ownership; exchange of all foreign currency at slight discount for U.S. gold and gradually withdraw gold from circulation, send all gold currency to Russia.

POLITICAL: Set up the ideal of thinking ‘internationally,’ so as to undermine national patriotism; weaken all government departments by corruption.  Attack all political parties and create distrust and suspicion upon any an all occasions.  Amplify facts by fiction and create startling exposures.  Ridicule all patriotic effort and undermine all preparation for defense; carry out our set policy for world revolution outlined in Rykoff’s position.

RYKOFF: in Pravda, said:  “It is our duty to inculcate in the minds of all nations, the theory of international friendship, pacifism and disarmament, at the same time, however, never for one moment relaxing our efforts in the upbuilding of our own military establishment.”

LENIN said: “When a country is selected for attack we must first set up before the youth of  that land a mental barrage which will forever prohibit the possibility of that youth being  moulded into an armed force to oppose our invading armies.  This can most successfully be done through creating ‘war horror’ thought and by teaching of pacifism and non-resistance.  It will be found that powerful organizations of non-communists can be created for this purpose particularly with the aid of liberal-minded ministers, professors and lecturers.”

BUCHARIN said: “Friendship of liberal minded ministers shall be sought, as these men at the present time are the leaders of the masses.”
