This should be required reading for every American!

Of course, we who live in a free society have to want to read this book, and it can’t be forced. I whole-heartily recommend this book for anyone who truly wants to understand the allure of communism, and want to know why many are falling into its trap. It is a deadly snare and this book clearly explains not only the tenants of the theory but also uses good visionary comparisons to assist in the understanding of the reasoning used by the party. The book ends with common sense approaches to help spread awareness of the problem communism presents here in our country and around the world, and gives hope to stop the growing infiltration here in America.

A FAMOUS BOOK BY A FAMOUS CHRISTIAN ANTI-COMMUNIST

Dr. Frederick Charles Schwarz (1913-2009) was an Australian physician and political activist who founded the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade (CACC). He was also the author of 'You Can Still Trust the Communists: To be Communists, Socialists, Statists, and Progressives Too,' 'Communism, a Disease,' 'The Christian answer to communism,' etc.

He wrote in the first chapter of this 1960 book, "The thesis of this book is very simple. It is that Communists are Communists. I intend to show that they are exactly what they say they are; they believe what they say they believe; their objective is the objective they have repeatedly proclaimed to all the world; their organization is the organization they have described in minute detail; and their moral code is the one they have announced without shame... we are confronted with a movement... which is perfectly understandable and almost mathematically predictable."

He asserts that Communism "has little appeal to the poor, the oppressed, or the exploited. The basic appeal of Communism is to the educated, and particularly to the student-intellectual." (Pg. 17) Later, he adds that "The communists have never aimed at the conversion of great masses of people. Their whole concept is that of ... an intellectual elite" (pg. 51), and that "The significance of Communism can never be measured by the number of Communists... The number of actual Communists has never been great." (Pg. 102) He further argues that wherever Communism is in place, "the people flee by the millions." (Pg. 27)

He suggests that "Communist theory contains some strange dialectical anomalies... I have asked numerous Communist theorists the following question: 'If Capitalism MUST change into Socialism by a dialectical process, why MUST Socialism change into Communism by a non-dialectical process?'... I am still seeking the Communist theorist who can provide the answer." (Pg. 162) He even adds, "Communism should be taught in the schools but it should be taught with a moral directive." (Pg. 177)

Schwarz's early book is an interesting reminder of the style of rhetoric and discussion that was current in the climate of 1960.
