Reactionary nations are of such a composition that they attack a word without
understanding of it. As the conquest of a nation by Communism depends upon imbuing
its population with Com- munistic tenets, it is not necessary that the term "Communism"
be applied at first to the educative measures employed.
As an example, in the United States we have been able to alter the works of William
James, and others, into a more acceptable pattern, and to place the tenets of Karl Marx,
Pavlov, Lamarck, and the data of Dialectic Materialism into the textbooks of psychology,
to such a degree that anyone thoroughly studying psychology becomes at once a
candidate to accept the reasonable- ness of Communism.
As every chair of psychology in the United States is occupied by persons in our
connection, or who can be influenced by persons in our connection, the consistent
employment of such texts is guaranteed. They are given the authoritative ring, and they
are carefully taught.
Constant pressure in the legislatures of the United States can bring about legislation to the
effect that every student attending a high school or university must have classes in
psychology.
Educating broadly the educated strata of the populace into the tenets of Communism is
thus rendered relatively easy, and when the choice is given them whether to continue in a
Capital- istic or a Communist condition, they will see, suddenly, in Com- munism, much
more reasonability than in Capitalism, which will now be of our own definition.
