That list of Communist goals was entered into the Congressional record back in 1963 (I believe).
If you read much I would recommend W. Cleon Skousen's "The Naked Capitalist" and "The Naked Communist" also by Skousen. Interesting reading.
Its no hoax.

http://www.patriotevents.com/geoff_metcalf.htm "According to what the mainstream disseminators of misinformation and disinformation tell us, "We won the Cold War and Communism, although not quite dead, is dying." That's their story and they're sticking to it. However, even a casual analysis of facts in evidence suggests a distinctly different reality.
"Since 1991 I have been distributing in various forms a list of Communist goals and objectives. First I would mail a list to anyone who asked for it and promised to copy and distribute it to friends, enemies, family and associates. Later (and still) I have an abbreviated list posted to my web page. W. Cleon Skousen authored a 1958 book titled, "The Naked Communist." I have tried, unsuccessfully, to invite Skousen onto my radio show, but he is quite elderly now and eschews talk radio. "If I did it for you, everyone else would want to do interviews, and I'm too old and tired. ..."
I have been blessed with being able to interview several great thinkers before mortality preempted future bookings. I shouldn't pout, but rather be grateful for Skousen's body of work ... and I am.
Cleon Skousen has had a rich and multifaceted life. He was an FBI agent, the police chief of Salt Lake City, Utah, and a full professor at Brigham Young University.
I could (and probably should) write separate columns on each of the following items in the subsequent list of 1958 Communist Goals. However, this information (and commentary) is not an event, but a process. Therefore, as an introduction (as I practice restraint) here is the Skousen 1958 laundry list/wish list of Communist goals. As you read these please note these were 1958 Communist goals. This is not another cyberspace urban legend. Florida Congressman A.S. Herlong Jr. entered this list into the Congressional Records in 1963.
"Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to determine how many of these Communist goals have already been accomplished:"
The list follows, which I won't post.
