I’m sick and tired of hearing about all of the radicals and the perverts and the liberals and the leftists and the communists coming out of the closet. It’s time for God’s people to come out of the closet, out of the churches and change America. James Robison, Christian televangelist, with Ronald Regan in attendance
Yes, I am a communist. And I consider it one of the greatest honours because we are struggling for the total liberation of the human race. Angela Davis
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the Communist Manifesto didn’t create the revolutions in Europe, but they gave it the voice. Jacob Bronowski, The Ascent of Man 12/13: Generation Upon Generation, BBC 1973
In a time in which Communist regimes have been rightfully discredited and yet alternatives to neoliberal capitalist societies are unwisely dismissed, I defend the fundamental claim of Marxist theory: there must be countervailing forces that defend people’s needs against the brutality of profit driven capitalism. Cornel West, The Cornel West Reader
But as in all cults, what’s central to the Communist Party is the belief system and the elimination of nuance. From there you’re very slowly led down the road to fanaticism and mass murder. Alexei Sayle
There are exactly fifty-seven card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time.

There only one important issue in this world today: communism. ibid.
Within days of the fire thousands of communists were arrested. Third Reich: The Rise I, History 2010
The three major world powers are united in their hard and relentless fight against communism and by their ever-growing friendship. They have thus become the creators and guarantors of a new and fairer future. Joachim von Ribbentrop
... Who has the moral courage to expose and root out those who try to rot us from within and hold us to ransom by anarchy, blackmail and brute force.
The Communist Trojan Horse is in our midst with its fellow-travellers wriggling their maggoty way inside its belly. Only firm and dynamic leadership can deal with this; it requires high moral courage. The Daily Telegraph, letter from General Walter Walker
Communism is neither an economic or political system. It’s a form of insanity, a temporary aberration which will one day disappear from the Earth because it is contrary to human nature. Ronald Reagan
The Communists are determined to destroy us, and regardless of what hand of friendship we may hold out or what arguments we may put up, the only thing that will make that decisive difference is the strength of the United States. John F Kennedy, Democratic rally August 1960
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue. As Americans we find communism profoundly repugnant as a negation of personal freedom and dignity. But we can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements in science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture, in acts of courage. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children’s future, and we are all mortal. John F Kennedy
We’re concerned with the spread of communism through the emerging nations of Asia. Robert Kennedy and His Times 1985 CBS starring Brad Davis & Veronica Cartwright & Cliff de Young & Ned Beatty & Beatrice Straight & Joe Pantoliano & Harris Yulin & Jeffrey Tambor & Jack Warden & River Pheonix & Jason Bateman et al, director Marvin J Chomsky, JFK
So-called modern Communism is apparently the same hypocritical and deadly world conspiracy to destroy civilisation that was founded by the secret order of the Illuminati in Bavaria on May 1 1776 ... The world revolution conspiracy appears to have been so well organised and ever continuing, to be ever on the alert to take advantage of every opportunity presenting itself or that the conspirators could create. Senate Investigating Committee on Education, California Legislature 1953 regular session

Communism was again seen as a thief of free will. Alan Hart, Media Morphs II: Conspiracy II

Every communist must grasp the truth – political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Mao Zedong, speech 6th November 1938
The choice that you face is that you either continue to be able to make a contribution to the struggle or not. Joe Slovo
Both experiments have called themselves socialist (though neither Communist nor Labour parties are inclined to use the word any more). Both have made a mockery of the planned economy and a sick joke of equality. The reason is simple. In both cases ‘socialism’ was attained or attempted without the involvement of the exploited class. The soul of socialism, the self-emancipation of the working class and the democratic control of society from below, was missing. What masqueraded as socialism was either state capitalism, or ‘reforms’ which left capitalism intact, if not stronger. Paul Foot, The Case for Socialism ch5
During the Second World War international communism must become strong enough in order to control Christianity. Albert Pike
There is no other definition of communism valid for us than that of the abolition of the exploitation of man by man. Che Guevara
Communism possesses a language which every people can understand – its elements are hunger, envy and death. Heinrich Heine
Communism is the corruption of a dream of justice. Adlai E Stevenson
What is a communist? One who has yearnings
For equal division of unequal earnings;
Idler or bungler, or both, he is willing
To fork out his penny and pocket his shilling. Ebenezer Elliott, Epigram 1850
Karl Marx in fact did not write the Communist Manifesto. He was merely a front man who put his name. The Communist Manifesto was put together by a group of men called the League of Just Men. Jordan Maxwell, The Dawn of a New Day
