This forgot to mention the increase of drug use and the undermining of authority with a bogus war on drugs. Time for real solutions to the drug problem!
Although number 32, "Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc." comes close with the federalized WOD.

Are you sure this isn't the Democratic Party platform?

If the drug culture was as widespread in 1963 as it was later in the 60s, I'm sure legalizing drugs would have been added to the list. We see other wonderful liberaltarian ideas among the 1963 Communist goals.

Agreed, but Republicans are doing their part in promoting globalism/free trade.

Thanks for the heads up!

Those of us who advocate legalization recognize the harms drug cause. We wish to pursue a policy of harm reduction. Keeping drugs illegal at federal level promotes central control and continues to make drugs available to our children, something any commie would embrace. The commies never promoted legalization of drugs, it promotes freedom, personal responsibility, and decentralization of government authority.
Which is better to pursue a failed policy that for 35 years has not reduced the availability of drugs to kids or pursuing policies that control drug use for adults while reducing availability to kids? It is a fact that interdiction fails in more than 60% of the cases, some say as high as 90% of drugs still get through. Are there any other failed federal programs that waste that much money that you are in favor of comrade?

Only #24 would the libertarians agree with the communist on.

Um, I see 2-3 things that libertarians would support in their like free trade. That's about it.

Didn't they teach us this in grade school. Isn't that why we recognize communism. Thank God for homeschooling.

What concerns me is how many of these goals have been reached. And how little protest has been made about them through the years. (Or not very effective protest.)

Thanks for the 'ping'.
Most of those goals have already been implemented by corrupt politicians here.
