The ‘Specter Book’ Warns About Communism’s Attack on Tradition

A few years ago, my husband and I had the good fortune to watch a documentary called “Agenda: Grinding America Down,” which explains how communism is openly trying to take over the United States—though not everyone is aware of it.

My husband already knew a lot about the attempted communist takeover of America and the world, but I didn’t, and I was fascinated. I was already aware of how evil the Chinese Communist Party is and how it’s been persecuting millions of innocent Chinese citizens for their beliefs. But I wasn’t expecting what I saw in the documentary.

The film made many things I’d seen in America make sense. It became quite clear to me that the communists never gave up after the Cold War; they’ve been steadily infiltrating the free world using various names as disguises.

It was also clear this wasn’t a conspiracy theory. As the documentary pointed out, communists’ goals are plainly written for all to see, and many of the goals have already been achieved.

After watching the film (and then devouring its sequel), I understood that many aspects of society have been changed almost imperceptibly by communist influence. Even the way we think has been altered.

I hungered to know more details. I didn’t want communist influence in my mind.

A few months later, my wish was answered. A colleague told me that the authors of the book “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” were creating a new editorial series called “How the Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World” and that it would soon be available in English.

This sounded like exactly what I wanted—and it was. When the first installment was published online in English, I read it eagerly and waited impatiently for the next one, and the next, and the next.

It was actually a book being published one chapter at a time. There were chapters on how communism started and how it spread. There was a chapter on economics, one on pop culture, one on art, and—my favorite—one on family relationships. The book details how communist groups, headed by the Chinese Communist Party, are trying to destroy all of humankind’s traditions and values and, eventually, humanity itself.

I was blown away. I was horrified and hopeful at the same time. Horrified that communism had already stretched its tentacles so far. Hopeful because this book was finally letting us know.

The book also emphasizes that it’s not too late.

If most people in the world read and understand the book (which I’ve nicknamed “the specter book,” although perhaps “the anti-specter book” would be more accurate), they’ll be able to recognize communism and peacefully reject it.

I highly recommend this book, and it’s my hope that someday it will be standard reading material in high schools all over the world—not because governments will require it, but because it will be a beloved classic.
