The book provides an insightful and critical analysis of the Communist Party's tactics and strategies for infiltrating and manipulating the African American community during the 1930s and 1940s. Johnson argues that the Communist Party's efforts to promote racial equality were not genuine, but rather a means to an end - the ultimate goal of establishing a Communist regime in the United States. He also highlights the dangers of Communist ideology and its potential to undermine democracy and freedom. Overall, \"\"Color, Communism and Common Sense\"\" is a powerful and thought-provoking critique of Communist infiltration and propaganda in American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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 \u003cem\u003eRed Conspiracy, \u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376675094751,"sku":"9781684224852","price":13.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Mtkb-lQxSz9781684224852.webp?v=1789221663"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/manning-johnson.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
