HAVE THEY REACHED THEIR GOALS?
COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION (Captured at Dusseldorf in May 1919 by Allied Forces)
Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
By specious argument cause the breakdown of old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
Encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders. (L.A. riots were just a coincidence? ... Of course!)
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. (Racial differences?)
Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays, and other trivialities.
Get control of all means of publicity. (Media)
Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy (disgrace).
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscation and leaving the population helpless.

It simply doesn't exist, anywhere. Its a fabrication.
Also, 1919, seems a little early for them to be using illuminati-esque world-take over schemes. Communist plots were more along the line of 'Light the fuse, throw the bomb into the market, and then wait for the proletariate to rise up against the bourgoise exploiters! *raises fist* "

The earliest known publication of these rules was in the periodical Moral Re-Armament in February 1946, and circulation of the list really took off after Florida state attorney George A. Brautigam endorsed them as true in 1954.
Funny but the snopes site doesn't explain why the document is a fake so I'll take their well meaning assertions with a grain of salt.
All the same do you agree that any of the mentioned goals seem to have been achieved or strived for in our current western societies?

- Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
And also you're the moderator and I don't want to get in trouble
Still scary if this kind of propaganda has surfaced 1946.

I'm suspicious of this list too, as I can't seem to find any communist sites that outline the "10 Planks" of the Communist Manifesto. Communists aren't secretive about what they want. It seems like these are re-wordings of what might've been said in the book, perhaps distorted so as to make them fit into the intent of the author.
So what I'd like to see, is a more detailed explanation of where in the manifesto these items are. Presumably they're not present as a simple list either.

In the anarchist, Marxist and socialist sense, free association (also called free association of producers or, as Marx often called it, community of freely associated individuals) is a kind of relation between individuals where there is no state, social class or authority, in a society that has abolished the private property of means of production. Once private property is abolished, individuals are no longer deprived of access to means of production so they can freely associate themselves (without social constraint) to produce and reproduce their own conditions of existence and fulfill their needs and desires.
Left-wing uprisings against the Bolsheviks were a series of rebellions and uprisings against the Bolsheviks led or supported by left wing groups including Socialist Revolutionaries, Left Socialist Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, and anarchists. Some were in support of the White Movement while some tried to be an independent force. The uprisings started in 1918 and continued through the Russian Civil War and after until 1922. In response the Bolsheviks increasingly abandoned attempts to get these groups to join the government and suppressed them with force.
