《赤裸裸的共產黨》
作者:柯立安・斯考森(W. Cleon Skousen)
譯者:潘勛
剝下共產主義「進步理念」的外衣
《赤裸裸的共產黨》會讓你不寒而慄,一部倒著讀的《共產黨宣言》
《赤裸裸的共產黨》是一部保守主義的經典作品,暢銷美國長達半個世紀,銷量累積二百多萬冊。
該書出版於1961年,之前的1958年,是共產主義猖獗、橫行的年代。二戰結束之後,以蘇聯為首的共產陣營,並未如其他自由民主國家那樣,開始休生養息、重建家園,反而在政治上輸出革命、推動共產獨裁,積極攻城掠地、蠶食併吞小國,軍事上研發飛彈、囤積核武。世界頓時被一分為二,人類也被區分成自由人以及奉行共產獨裁的「馬克思人」。
顛覆自由世界的「45個目標」已經快達成?
當年,斯考森羅列出共產運動的「45個顛覆行動目標」,原本只是作者本人的大膽預言。這些目標包括,「巴拿馬運河國際化」、「滲透並控制大企業」、「支持一切社會主義運動,而取得集權式的控制」、「滲透媒體」、「動用學生暴動來煽動民眾抗議」、「控制各級學校」、「承認共產中國。允許共產中國進入聯合國」等等。最後我們發現,斯考森所說的並非預言,而是要世人警惕共產陣營企圖如何影響自由世界的生活方式。因為這45個目標當中,只剩下最後一個還沒有被共產黨給突破!
今日通過了解共產思想的運作,還有它如何侵蝕全球自由的經過,甚至比以往還要來得更重要。這是因為,自由民主社會裡的各種觀念和思想,比如多元化、公平正義等貌似「進步」的價值,背後的哲學和思想基礎實則就是共產主義。作者認為,經由《赤裸裸的共產黨》之分析,建立起個人的思想防線,才能進而把整個社會武裝起來。
本書特色
雖然最初是寫給美國一般大眾的書,但對中文讀者的啟發很大。其內容簡單明瞭,把艱澀的共產主義思想、主義用平鋪直述的方式,以淺白的文字來介紹。可以說,它不是簡單的詮釋理念,而是剖析其錯誤。某種意義上可以說是一部倒著讀的《共產黨宣言》。
本書也是一部赤裸裸的共產黨史。從馬克思及恩格斯的成長背景,說明共產主義在怎樣的狀況下被提倡,並且如何意外地在俄羅斯發展、壯大,進而有意發展成掌控全球的單一思想。
剖析共產主義的核心思想在當代如何以各種進步觀念的名義,侵蝕自由世界。要讀者認清在美好宣言的包裝下,那些害人不淺的糖衣會你付出怎樣的代價。

Content
The Naked Communist is a 1958 anti-communist book by American faith-based political theorist W. Cleon Skousen, a former FBI employee. The main subject of the book is an alleged communist plot to overcome and control all of the world's governments through the implementation of social progressivism and by undermining American foreign policy through the promotion of internationalism and pacifism. The early chapters of the book cover the philosophy of Marxism and Soviet Communism as well as some of the history of communist power in various countries including the Soviet Union, China and Cuba.
Reception
The book has been reprinted several times—most recently in a 2017 printing through Izzard Ink Publishing—and it has sold more than one million copies. The book has been highly discussed by American conservatives Glenn Beck and Ben Carson, the latter of whom stated, "The Naked Communist lays out the whole progressive plan. It is unbelievable how fast it has been achieved." In 1963, a portion of the book was read into the United States Congressional Record.
