Topic: Communist dogma


  
  "Communists Should Not Teach in American Colleges," 1949
Dismissal action in the third case was taken, with the concurring recommendation of the faculty committee, because of "an ambiguous relationship to the Communist Party" and for violation of certain aspects of the administrative code of the University.
My position that Communists are not qualified to be teachers grows out of my belief that freedom has little meaning apart from the integrity of the men and women who enjoy that freedom.
The Communist Party, with its concealed aims and objectives, with its clandestine methods and techniques, with its consistent failure to put its full face forward, is a serious reflection upon the integrity of educational institutions that employ its members and upon a whole educational system that has failed to take the Communist issue seriously.

When I started my foundation work in 1979, communist dogma had given rise to a closed society dominated by the state, which in turn was dominated by the party.
Communist dogma was false because it claimed to incorporate the ultimate truth.
When the communist system began to disintegrate, I was better prepared than most people to keep up with the constantly accelerating pace of events, and even to anticipate many of the changes.

 THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO
The inner organization of this primitive communistic society was laid bare, in its typical form, by Lewis Henry Morgan's (1818-1861) crowning discovery of the true nature of the gens and its relation to the tribe.
The socialist and communist literature of France, a literature that originated under the pressure of a bourgeoisie in power, and that was the expressions of the struggle against this power, was introduced into Germany at a time when the bourgeoisie in that country had just begun its contest with feudal absolutism.
The Communists fight for the attainment of the immediate aims, for the enforcement of the momentary interests of the working class; but in the movement of the present, they also represent and take care of the future of that movement.

 Government
Communist dogma formed a foundation for the education system and emphasis was placed on the Russian language.
The communists were swept from office establishing a coalition noncommunist government determined to eliminate the communist system and replace it with a Western-style democracy and a free-market economy.

The Communists even revived the bizarre medieval practice of worshiping the dead bodies of the saints; they built massive mausoleums in which they placed the embalmed bodies of their dead leaders and forced their people to worship them.
Just like the church before them the Communists tried to force their captured enemies to repent their "sins." After the fall of Saigon, 600,000 Vietnamese were forced into concentration camps called reeducation centers to learn Communist dogma.
Like other people of faith, the Communists blamed the failings of their system--not on their own loony dogma--but on hidden enemies who were secretly sabotaging Communism so as to prevent the Communists from creating a utopia.

 Poland - The Society
Communist dogma failed to change the intellectual or spiritual outlook of most Poles, however, because traditional institutions such as the Roman Catholic Church and the family remained strong support structures for alternative viewpoints.
Among the permanent results of communist ideology was the disappearance of the landed aristocracy, which had played an especially large role in governance and in preserving Polish culture and national consciousness, especially during the more than 100 years when Poland was partitioned.
Within a decade of the communist takeover, however, the initial benefits of this social engineering had faded, and in 1956 the first of several waves of unrest swept the country.

The communist parties are the only major political formations that seem to oppose such a process of disintegration of the linguistic states.
The communist parties saw the formation of the linguistic states within the broad theory of nationalities that Stalin formulated in the context of formation of the Soviet Union.
The communist parties must come out of the linguistic nationality theory and seriously examine the possibility of evolving pan-Indian English-centred nation, and the provinces can operate in a bilingual atmosphere of English and Telugu, or English and Kannada, and so on.

Grateful to the Communist Yugoslavia which recognized them the status of a nation, as well as brainwashed with the indoctrination by which they "succeeded" to forget their massive participation in the armed forces of NDH - Bosnian Muslims became the factor number 2.in Bosnia and Hercegovina and the staunchest followers of Yugoslav phantasm.
Yugoslav communist party was thrown out from the Cominform (an organization of the type of Comintern, USSR-dominated with most of its members Communist Parties of the newly captured countries of Eastern and Central Europe.) Tito turned to the West, asking for financial and other help, but Yugoslavia remained a communist totalitarian country.

The supposed communist threat facing, for example, the Southeast Asian nation of Malaysia was far different from that facing the West African nation of Liberia.
In Indonesia, the communist threat was personified by the resident Chinese community at large, chief victims of a horrible "anti-communist" pogrom in the 1960s.
In South Africa, the "communist threat" was anti-apartheid fls- in Sri Lanka it was the Tamilsin Guatemala, the liberal clergy.

 Documents on Canadian External Relations (DCER)
The post-war period, according to the Communist Party Secretary, has been one of new economic difficulties in capitalist countries due to the developing expansion of United States imperialism which is aggravating the inherent antagonisms amongst capitalist powers and at present forcing these powers to militarize their economics.
An alternative policy that might be followed by the foreign Communist parties would be the encouragement in such countries as Western Germany or Japan, of those people of known nationalist, chauvinist views with the eventual hope of enabling these forces to come to power, setting the stage for eventual capitalist rivalry with the United States.
There is no doubt that the Soviet Communist, on reviewing the world picture since the last party congress, have good reason to feel pleased with their enhanced political position in the world, and this, together with their improving industrial production, is probably the cause of such evident confidence.

According to the liberal dogma men are excessively selfish because they lack the intelligence to consider interests other than their own.
Communist society will be made up of unselfish and harmonious units and therefore will be by definition a world at peace.
We find it almost as difficult as the communists to believe that anyone could think ill of us, since we are as persuaded as they that our society is so essentially virtuous that only malice could prompt criticism of any of our actions.

The demise of the Communist system in Eastern Europe has become an accomplished fact in the space of not much more than a month.

My uncle is one of these indefatigable communists who insist communism was not defeated by the insight of capitalism but rather by ignorance, ignorance driven by greed.
When we were growing up, communist leaders had a way of exciting us out of boredom, of inciting us into the bravery to face up to the tragedies of growing up in the township.
The marmoreal astuteness of staunch communists is often quoted as unrealistic obduracy hanging on unrealistic hopes of a messianic last communist stage that's suppose to come around due to internal contradictions of capitalism.

The Russians, of course had it all wrong, they could not "bury" the republics from without because the populations of those nations were educated and resolute in their repudiation of communist dogma.
By 1935 the central committee of the communist party consisted of 56 members of which 53 were Zionists and three were atheists married to Zionists.
The principal method of their actions is stealth, instead of calling themselves communists or socialists they now refer to themselves as New Democrats, New Labor and most commonly on an international level they call their process International Democracy.

 What’s the Difference? A Comparison of the Faiths Men Live By
If this "religion without revelation," as Huxley calls it, can be said to have dogmas, the most important are its faith in the power of science to free Man from all the limitations that beset him, and the power of education to imbue him with high ideals, pure motivations, and self-discipline.
The principal dogma of Communist theology is "dialectic materialism." As expounded in the "sacred writings" of Karl Marx and V. Lenin, the dogma holds that the physical world of things which can be seen, felt, weighed, and measured is the only reality that exists.
Communist dogma goes on to state that economic forces — not human aspirations for freedom, nor other political ideals — are the real shapers of history.

In Clovek, zahrada širĂ¡, the communist regime in Czechoslovakia is for Kundera a guarantor of all the values associated with his home: of everything that is cosy and reassuring.
But at the end of the poem she is happy because her grandson, a communist Young Pioneer with his read scarf on his neck, embraces her and takes her by the hand.
Kundera seems to argue here that the communist dogma is more palatable to people if it is communicated to them by individual experience and by the power of human relationships.

 Bert Cochran, "New Thunder Out of Communist China"
The original outline of the second (1958-1962) Plan augured a continuation of the same: the sinking of the bulk of the funds into large basic industrial complexes, the neglect of consumer industries, a chronic agricultural lag, and the proliferation of a heavy apparatus to continue forcing the pace by the administrative whip.
THE Communist leaders were bowled over by the results obtained from the two innovations in agricultural development and establishment of local industry.

To Hook, it was the burden of the Communist teacher to prove that even though he was a member of the Party, he did not obey its program or let it interfere with his role in the classroom.
Writing in Harper’s, Wechsler pointed out that Communists were not members of a regular political party, but rather were "organized instruments of Russian espionage." They had a right to express their ideas, but that was quite different than asserting they had an intrinsic right to a government job.
Communists, he argued, had taken part on the terms set by liberals, and were forced to pay lip service to liberal–and not Communist–ideals.

 Lech Walesa historical biography : Solidarity
During the August 1980 defiance of the communist authorities, the Lenin shipyard functioned as the emotional center of an extraordinary national movement.
The very fact that the Soviets allowed the Poles to violate the Communist dogma that party civilians must always control the military was a sign of their dismay over the Polish party's disarray, and of their faith in the Soviet-schooled general.
The Polish Communist party was finally forced to again negotiate with Walesa and his colleagues in a revived Solidarity movement.

 Communists Should Not Teach In American Colleges - 1949 [Free Republic]
The real issue between Communism and education is the effect of Communist Party membership upon the freedom of the teacher and upon the morale and professional standards of the profession of teaching.
I think it is necessary that we maintain a place in the University for the holding of such philosophies, regardless of how strongly we may disagree with them, the only condition being that they not be subject to dictation from outside the mind of the holder.
Beeath the euphemisms, the Bennington study is the most thorough documentation of the existence of, and effectiveness of, intentional systematic extended large-scale academic brainwashing of students—a brainwashing in which one can sense in both manipulators and observers, and paradoxically even in those who were manipulated, no small amount of arrogant pride.

 Classic Capitalism - Review of Earl Browder's "Marx and America" by Howard Fast
And in a land where almost any discussion of Communism and the Communist Party invokes passion and rage, he talks of both with intelligence and without anger and without passion.
Whatever the window-dressing of verbiage and dogma, the Communist Party line during the fourteen years since Earl Browder's expulsion has revolved around the inevitability of war - a dangerous mental illness of the extreme Left that paralleled, often with exactitude, the similar insanity of the extreme Right.
But when Marxist theory has been distorted into religious dogma - which dogma is recited by Communist parties the world over, and woven into the foreign policy of Communist nations - the question of practical experience must be investigated and theoretically explained.
