CHAPTER SEVEN
THE COMMUNIST AGENDA
THE ORIGIN OF COMMUNISM
In a previous chapter, we found out how the Illuminati created Communism to be used as an
adversary against liberty. An indication of that fact came from a statement by Dr. Bella Dodd,
who was a member of the National Committee of the U.S. Communist Party. She indicated that
when their Board could not reach a decision, one of their members would go to the Waldorf
Towers in New York City to consult with Arthur Goldsmith. Goldsmith’s decision would later
be confirmed by Communist officials in Russia. Goldsmith was not a Communist, but was a
wealthy ‘capitalist.’ The Communist movement was created out of the roots of Socialism, in fact,
President Hoover said: “Socialism is the forerunner of communism.”
Socialistic ideas can be traced back to Plato’s (427-347 BC) Republic, and English Statesman
Sir Thomas More’s (1478-1535) Utopia in 1516. Plato envisioned a society where marriage
would be eliminated, all women would belong to all men, and all men would belong to all
women. Women would be equal to men, working and fighting wars side by side. All children
would be raised by the state. There would be a tri-level society consisting of the ruling class, the
military class, and the working class. Private property would be eliminated, and the intellectuals
would determine what was best for the lower classes.
Indian settlements were communistic. The Pilgrims and Virginia colonists tried them, but
failed. Captain John Smith of Virginia said: “When our people were fed out of the common
store, and labored jointly together, glad was he who could slip from his labor and sleep over his
task...”
The Mennonites, who came to Pennsylvania from Germany, in 1683, established communes.
As they moved westward, they left behind a splinter group, called the Amish, who gradually
developed a society based on the private ownership of property. Also in 1683 followers of a
Frenchman, Jean de Labadie (former Jesuit, turned Protestant) immigrated to Maryland. They
held property in common, but broke up within a couple of years.
In 1774, Englishwoman Ann Lee, leading a group called the Shakers (United Society of
Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing), which was a splinter group of the Quaker movement,
established a celibate communal society near Albany, New York, in an area known as
Watervliet. Religious persecution had forced them to America, where they practiced celibacy,
equality of sexes, common ownership of property, and the public confession of sins. In 1787,
two of Lee’s followers, Joseph Meacham and Lucy Wright, established a similar colony in New
Lebanon, NY. By 1840, they had 6,000 members in 19 communes, from New York, to Indiana
and Kentucky. Their numbers declined after the Civil War, and they finally broke up in the
1940’s.
Francois Emile Babeuf (1760-97), was a member of the Illuminati (his pseudonym was
‘Gracchus’), and as such, his social views reflected those of Weishaupt’s. He formed a Masoniclike
association of disciples called Babouvistes, who advocated violence as a means of achieving
reform. They met at the dining hall of the Abbey, and sometimes in the crypt. The location of the
building, which was near the Pantheon, led to the name of the Order, which was known as the
Pantheonistes. The group, at its peak, had about 2,000 members.
Babeuf wrote: “In my system of Common Happiness, I desire that no individual property
