Welcome To Soviet America: Special Edition

Michael T. Petro

In 1848 Karl Marx published his infamous pamphlet, The Communist Manifesto. In this pamphlet Marx outlined the basic principles of Communism as well as the goals to be achieved in establishing Communism in a targeted nation. In 1932 William Z. Foster, the National Chairman of the Communist Party, USA, published his book, Toward Soviet America. In his book Foster revealed the Communist plan to build a Soviet America, or an American version of the Soviet Union. Foster provided the reader with a general plan along with many specific details. In 1958 former FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen published his book, The Naked Communist. In his 1962 edition Skousen listed 45 goals Communists planned to achieve in building a Communist America. This book, Welcome To Soviet America: Special Edition, explores the alarming extent to which many of the goals outlined by Karl Marx, William Z. Foster, W. Cleon Skousen - and others - have been achieved in the America that was once described as "the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
