Communism illegal in U.S.
2014-04-21
Is this a comic page from American history? Unfortunately no. It is real.
Communism was made a crime in the U.S. in 1954.. the year I was born.
Communism was made a crime in the U.S. in 1954.. the year I was born.
Not only could I not learn about communism in U.S. schools as I was growing up, I could be asked to
take some years out of my life to go overseas and kill people for no other reason than choosing communism.
Does this sound like what goes on in a free nation?
I had plans to leave the U.S. if necessary so I would not have to kill or be killed in the defense
of the rich owners of the U.S.
Communism was not something to be truthfully described in the schools in the U.S.
but to be demonized and slandered. Something so disdainful that those who embrace it should be killed.
Capitalism and the U.S. are about competition? What bigger lie could be told?
When a more equitable and humane political and economic system becomes available it is made illegal.
The truth about communism cannot be revealed or taught in schools.
And the U.S. brags about being a free speech nation. One thing is for certain, this is NOT the case.

Capitalism is nothing more than a thinly veiled MASTER/SLAVE political system borrowed from ancient times.
Free speech in the political arena of the U.S. is limited to those serving their capitalist masters.
Below I help the readers not familiar with the U.S. to understand this law by adding comments highlighted
in red. My comments could also be helpful to those in the U.S. who suspect they have been successfully
indoctrinated to serve their rich masters but would like to leave this indoctrination behind and begin
to have a life with a free and objective mind.

Communist Control Act of 1954
U.S. Statutes at Large, Public Law 637, Chp. 886, p. 775-780
AN ACT
To outlaw the Communist Party, to prohibit members of Communist organizations from serving in
certain representative capacities, and for other purposes.
Communist Control Act of 1954
U.S. Statutes at Large, Public Law 637, Chp. 886, p. 775-780
AN ACT
To outlaw the Communist Party, to prohibit members of Communist organizations from serving in
certain representative capacities, and for other purposes.
"AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES". THAT'S THE LEGAL WAY OF SAYING "AND STUFF".
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as the ''Communist Control Act of 1954''.
Findings of Fact
Sec. 2. The Congress hereby finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States,
although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the
Government of the United States. It constitutes an authoritarian dictatorship within a republic,
demanding for itself the rights and privileges accorded to political parties, but denying to all others
the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Unlike political parties, which evolve their policies
and programs through public means, by the reconciliation of a wide variety of individual views,
and submit those policies and programs to the electorate at large for approval or disapproval, the
policies and programs of the Communist Party are secretly prescribed for it by the foreign leaders
of the world Communist movement. Its members have no part in determining its goals, and are
not permitted to voice dissent to party objectives. Unlike members of political parties, members of
the Communist Party are recruited for indoctrination with respect to its objectives and methods,
and are organized, instructed, and disciplined to carry into action slavishly the assignments given
them by their hierarchical chieftains. Unlike political parties, the Communist Party acknowledges
no constitutional or statutory limitations upon its conduct or upon that of its members. The
Communist Party is relatively small numerically, and gives scant indication of capacity ever to
attain its ends by lawful political means. The peril inherent in its operation arises not from its
numbers, but from its failure to acknowledge any limitation as to the nature of its activities, and its
dedication to the proposition that the present constitutional Government of the United States
ultimately must be brought to ruin by any available means, including resort to force and violence.
Holding that doctrine, its role as the agency of a hostile foreign power renders its existence a
clear present and continuing danger to the security of the United States. It is the means whereby
individuals are seduced into the service of the world Communist movement, trained to do its
bidding, and directed and controlled in the conspiratorial performance of their revolutionary
services. Therefore, the Communist Party should be outlawed.

THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THIS HAVE BEEN SO INDOCTRINATED THAT THEY THINK ANY OTHER WAY OF THINKING
OTHER THAN BEING OBEDIENT SLAVES TO CAPITALIST MASTERS IS BEING INDOCTRIATED.
COMMUNISM IS ABOUT AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH SUCH AS HAVING REAL ESTATE, AND THE MEANS
OF PRODUCTION OWNED BY THE STATE INSTEAD OF BEING OWNED BY A FEW EXTREMELY RICH INDIVIDUALS.
THE AUTHORS OF THIS U.S. LAW SEEM TO THINK THAT ANY SORT OF ORGANIZATION IN A POLITIC SYSTEM IS
CORRUPTION TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. IN THIS CASE ALL POLITIC SYSTEMS, MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS,
AND ALL GOVERNMENTS MUST BE ABOLISHED.
THE OBVIOUS GOAL OF THIS LAW WAS TO ENSURE THE FEW EXTREMELY RICH OWNERS OF THE U.S. CONTINUE TO
HAVE NO OPPOSTION AND ARE FREE TO PERSUE THEIR ONLY GOAL; TO BECOME EVEN RICHER AT THE EXPENSE
OF THE WORKING PEOPLE OF THE U.S. AND OF OTHER NATIONS.

the assumed name, whose object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United
States, or the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof, or the
government of any political subdivision therein by force and violence, are not entitled to any of the
rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the
laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and
immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by
reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are hereby terminated:
Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be construed as amending the Internal
Security Act of 1950, as amended.

HERE THE AUTHORS UNWITTINGLY ADMIT THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT ANY OPPOSITION TO THE RICH OWNERS
OF THE U.S. HAVING COMPLETE AND UNCHALLENGED CONTROL OF THE U.S. ARE OUT TO OVERTHROW THE

of any State or political subdivision thereof, by the use of force or violence, with knowledge of the
purpose or objective of such organization shall be subject to all the provisions and penalties of
the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended, as a member of a ''Communist-action''
organization.

State or subdivision thereof, and any unit or subdivision of any such organization, whether or not
any change is hereafter made in the name thereof.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU'RE NOT A COMPLIANT STOOGE OF CAPITALISM YOU ARE A TERRORIST BENT ON THE

IT IS THE U.S. THAT HAS USED FORCE AND VIOLENCE TO OVERTHROW OTHER GOVERNMENTS.
OVER ONE MILLION VIETNAMESE KILLED FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN CHOOSING COMMUNISM.

THIS ACT BECOMING LAW HAS MANY PARALLELS TO THE Kristallnacht OF NAZI GERMANY, 1938.
BY 1954 THE WORLD WAS WATCHING THE U.S. AND THE SOVIETS AND THE REST OF THE WORLD WOULD NOT HAVE
ALLOWED COMMUNISTS IN THE U.S. TO BE GATHERED AND EXTERMINATED. OTHER THAN THAT EXCEPTION THERE
IS LITTLE DIFFERENCE. COMMUNISM WAS OUTLAWED IN THE U.S. AND COMMUNISTS HAD TO GO UNDERGROUND.

Communist-infiltrated organization, he may file with the Board and serve upon such organization
a petition for a determination that such organization is a Communist-infiltrated organization. In
any proceeding so instituted, two or more affiliated organizations may be named as joint
respondents. Whenever any such petition is accompanied by a certificate of the Attorney General
to the effect that the proceeding so instituted is one of exceptional public importance, such
proceeding shall be set for hearing at the earliest possible time and all proceedings therein before
the Board or any court shall be expedited to the greatest practicable extent.

relied upon in support thereof. Upon the filing of any such petition, the Board shall serve upon
each party to such proceeding a notice specifying the time and place for hearing upon such
petition. No such hearing shall be conducted within twenty days after the service of such notice. ''

government, or movement is concealed from or is not disclosed to the membership of such
organization; and
''(7) to what extent, if any, such organization or any of its members or managers are, or within

writing in which it shall state its findings as to the facts and its conclusions with respect to the
issues presented by such petition, (2) enter its order granting or denying the determination sought
by such petition, and (3) serve upon each party to the proceeding a copy of such order. Any order
granting any determination on the question whether any organization is a Communist-infiltrated

Act, shall be deemed to exist with respect to such bargaining unit; and

employees in such bargaining unit or any person or persons acting in their behalf, shall under
section 9 of such Act (notwithstanding any limitation of time contained therein) direct elections in
such bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof (A) for the selection of a representative thereof for
collective bargaining purposes, and (B) to determine whether the employees thereof desire to
rescind any authority previously granted to such labor organization to enter into any agreement

''Sec. 13A. (a) Whenever the Attorney General has reason to believe that any organization is a
Communist-infiltrated organization, he may file with the Board and serve upon such organization
a petition for a determination that such organization is a Communist-infiltrated organization. In
any proceeding so instituted, two or more affiliated organizations may be named as joint
respondents. Whenever any such petition is accompanied by a certificate of the Attorney General
to the effect that the proceeding so instituted is one of exceptional public importance, such
proceeding shall be set for hearing at the earliest possible time and all proceedings therein before
the Board or any court shall be expedited to the greatest practicable extent.
''(b) Any organization which has been determined under this section to be a Communist-
infiltrated organization may, within six months after such determination, file with the Board and
serve upon the Attorney General a petition for a determination that such organization no longer is
a Communist- infiltrated organization.
''(c) Each such petition shall be verified under oath, and shall contain a statement of the facts
relied upon in support thereof. Upon the filing of any such petition, the Board shall serve upon
each party to such proceeding a notice specifying the time and place for hearing upon such
petition. No such hearing shall be conducted within twenty days after the service of such notice. ''
(d) The provisions of subsections (c) and (d) of section 13 shall apply to hearings conducted
under this section, except that upon the failure of any organization named as a party in any
petition filed by or duly served upon it pursuant to this section to appear at any hearing upon such
petition, the Board may conduct such hearing in the absence of such organization and may enter
such order under this section as the Board shall determine to be warranted by evidence
presented at such hearing.
''(e) In determining whether any organization is a Communist-infiltrated organization, the Board
shall consider-
''(1) to what extent, if any, the effective management of the affairs of such organization is
conducted by one or more individuals who are, or within two years have been, (A) members,
agents, or representatives of any Communist organization, and Communist foreign government,

nature and purpose thereof, or (B) engaged in giving aid or support to any such organization,
government, or movement with knowledge of the nature and purpose thereof;

formulated and carried out pursuant to the direction or advice of any member, agent or
representative of any such organization, government, or movement;
''(3) to what extent, if any, the personnel and resources of such organization are, or within three
years have been, used to further or promote the objectives of any such Communist organization,
government, or movement;
''(4) to what extent, if any, such organization within three years has received from, or furnished to
or for the use of, any such Communist organization, government, or movement any funds or other
material assistance;
''(5) to what extent, if any, such organization is, or within three years has been, affiliated in any
way with any such Communist organization, government, or movement;
''(6) to what extent, if any, the affiliation of such organization, or of any individual or individuals
who are members thereof or who manage its affairs, with any such Communist organization,
government, or movement is concealed from or is not disclosed to the membership of such
organization; and
''(7) to what extent, if any, such organization or any of its members or managers are, or within
three years have been, knowingly engaged-
''(A) in any conduct punishable under section 4 or 15 of this Act or under chapter 37, 105, or 115
of title 18 of the United States Code; or
''(B) with intent to impair the military strength of the United States or its industrial capacity to
furnish logistical or other support required by its armed forces, in any activity resulting in or
contributing to any such impairment.
''(f) After hearing upon any petition filed under this section, the Board shall (1) make a support in
writing in which it shall state its findings as to the facts and its conclusions with respect to the
issues presented by such petition, (2) enter its order granting or denying the determination sought
by such petition, and (3) serve upon each party to the proceeding a copy of such order. Any order
granting any determination on the question whether any organization is a Communist-infiltrated
organization shall become final as provided in section 14 (b) of this Act.
''(g) When any order has been entered by the Board under this section with respect to any labor
organization or employer (as these terms are defined by section 2 of the National Labor Relations
Act, as amended, and which are organizations within the meaning of section 3 of the Subversive
Activities Control Act of 1950), the Board shall serve a true and correct copy of such order upon
the National Labor Relations Board and shall publish in the Federal Register a statement of the
substance of such order and its effective date.
''(h) When there is in effect a final order of the Board determining that any such labor organization
is a Communist-action organization, a Communist-front organization, or a Communist- infiltrated
organization, such labor organization shall be ineligible to-

the National Labor Relations Act, as amended (29 U.S.C. 157);
''(2) serve as an exclusive representative of employees of any bargaining unit under section 9 of
such Act, as amended (29 U.S.C. 159);

''(4) exercise any other right or privilege, or receive any other benefit, substantive or procedural,
provided by such Act for labor organizations.
''(i) When an order of the Board determining that any such labor organization is a Communist-
infiltrated organization has become final, and such labor organization theretofore has been
certified under the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, as a representative of employees
in any bargaining unit-
''(1) a question of representation affecting commerce, within the meaning of section 9 (c) of such
Act, shall be deemed to exist with respect to such bargaining unit; and
''(2) the National Labor Relations Board, upon petition of not less than 20 per centum of the
employees in such bargaining unit or any person or persons acting in their behalf, shall under
section 9 of such Act (notwithstanding any limitation of time contained therein) direct elections in
such bargaining unit or any subdivision thereof (A) for the selection of a representative thereof for
collective bargaining purposes, and (B) to determine whether the employees thereof desire to
rescind any authority previously granted to such labor organization to enter into any agreement
with their employer pursuant to section 8 (a) (3) (ii) of such Act.
''(j) When there is in effect a final order of the Board determining that any such employer is a
Communist-infiltrated organization, such employer shall be ineligible to-
''(1) file any petition for an election under section 9 of the National Labor Relations Act, as
amended (29 U.S.C. 157), or participate in any proceeding under such section; or
''(2) make or obtain any hearing upon any charge under section 10 of such Act (29 U.S.C. 160);

provided by such Act for employers.''

following: ''or subsection (f) of section 13A,''.
Sec. 12. If any provision of this title or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is
held invalid, the remainder of the title, and the application of such provisions to other persons or
circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.

JUST A LOT OF NONSENSE ADDED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CALL ANYONE A COMMUNIST WHO ISN'T A COMPLIANT
STOOGE OF CAPITALISM.
IN THE U.S. IT IS MADE CLEAR FROM KINDERGARTEN ON THAT COMMUNISM IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS EVIL WHILE
THE RICH OWNERS OF THE U.S. ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD. THIS IS THE INDOCTRINATION PROVIDED
BY THE WESTERN IMPERIALISTS, THE RICH OWNERS OF THE U.S. AND OTHER ASSORTED CRIMINALS WHO DO NOT
WANT THEIR UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TAKEN AWAY.

NEVER MIND THAT CAPITALISM PROVIDES A MEANS FOR THE RICH TO CONTINUE TO GET RICHER AND KEEP THE POOR
FOREVER SUBJUGATED WHILE COMMUNISM PROVIDES A MEANS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE WORLD'S WORK TO ENJOY
AN EQUITABLE SHARE OF THE GOODS THEIR WORK PRODUCES, FREE FROM CAPITALIST PARASITES.
IN SHORT, A CAPITALIST GOVERNMENT IS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RICH,
A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT IS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE.
