SOVIET MISSIONS
The immediate danger to the western world lies in the fact that
world Communism is no longer an indigenous movement deriving its
basic dynamism from the revolutionary efforts of the working class in
the leading industrialized countries. It is rather a vast political, econ-
omic and military system, principally outside the capitalist world, with
its central power and direction located in the USSR, which is seeking to
destroy the capitalist system. The immediate tasks which Moscow has
assigned to the national Communist parties vary with the degree of
Communist strength in the different areas of the world and in existing
local situations.
SATELLITES
In those countries where the Communist regime is already estab-
lished, the objective is the development of agricultural, military and
industrial potentials within the framework of a nationalized economy
under totalitarian Communist control and the gearing of the economy to
the needs of the Soviet Union.
ASIA
In the colonial and underdeveloped areas in Asia with Communist
bases, the objective is the use of violence, including military action, in
an effort to capture leadership of the struggle for national independence
and/or social reform.
UNDERDEVELOPED AREAS
Elsewhere in the underdeveloped areas of Africa and the East, the
objective is the capture of leadership through the propaganda for social
reform in the struggle for national development.
WESTERN WORLD
In the advanced countries of the western world where Communist
parties are strong, the objective is disruption of the economy through
strikes and mass demonstrations; exploitation of parliamentary insta-
bility; and where possible the establishment of governments of demo-
cratic union including the Communists. Inall westerncountries, intensive
propaganda operations are encouraged.
