About this listen

Here is the story of one Black American communist who became disillusioned with communism and penned this cautionary tale of the perils of his experience.

According to the author: "Ten years I labored in the cause of Communism. I was a dedicated 'comrade.' All my talents and efforts were zealously used to bring about the triumph of Communism in America and throughout the world. To me, the end of capitalism would mark the beginning of an interminable period of plenty, peace, prosperity and universal comradeship. All racial and class differences and conflicts would end forever after the liquidation of the capitalists, their government and their supporters.... Little did I realize until I was deeply enmeshed in the Red Conspiracy, that just and seeming grievances are exploited to transform idealism into a cold and ruthless weapon against the capitalist system - that this is the end toward which all the communist efforts among Negroes are directed. Indeed, I had entered the red conspiracy in the vain belief that it was the way to a "new, better and superior" world system of society. Ten years later, thoroughly disillusioned, I abandoned communism."

From the preface.

Informative

This book gave a lot of information about the early early life of some of these organizations we still associate with today. Some of those associations are very similar to some of the new ones that are starting up, in the almost 100 yrs later. Just very very informative if you know nothing about anything or if you know something about a little bit, still a great listen still a great read!!! I’m very thankful that this man took the time to put his life from that period of time, into a book. I appreciate it and Thank you for your Service Sir

Great book 📖!

Prophetic too.
Like Rand this book can easily be mistaken as a current book.

Book that can save a nation.

I've read hundreds of serious books in my life. This book is by far the only book that literally explains everything going on in the nation and the world. A book that should be required reading in every school. Give this book to everyone graduating high school and college as a gift to open their eyes and save this nation. We ask ourselves what has happened in America. This book gives the answer in TRUTHS.

A must read book

Mr. Johnson sets a good base to understand how anti-American groups like BLM, NAACP just to name a couple have taken hold of weak minded American blacks.

insightful content, but overly accented narration.

The factual content was insightful, and the messages valueable, but the narration was hard to listen to with a very heavy drawl.

Wow! Just.... Wow!

I can't believe we haven't shaken this Red Fever. It was going on in the 30's, the 60's, and today.

M&M

This work is quite revealing! It points out how the Communist party and the DNC, just as the KKK's mode of operation was and s today. Sad to say that RINO's are practicing these nefarious and deceptive tactics also. Remembering the operations of the Enemy of the past helps to recognize the same script-just different actors! Very well done be Mr. Johnson!

I couldn't help but laugh.

As I was listening I couldn't tell if it was written today or 1958. So many of the things that happened back then have happened today. From racial tensions to the leaders of the radical groups buying houses for themselves in white neighborhoods. This is a great listen.

Eye Opening!

The struggles of the past are the exact same as the struggles of today. Pay attention and realize the truth as it unfolds.
