Moscow Conference of 1960

==Speech Relevance==
From '[[Encroaching Control]]':
<BLOCKQUOTE>''Last November, the [[communism|communist]] parties of 81 countries held a convention in Moscow and again they reaffirmed this principle of [[Karl Marx|Marx]] that it was war to the death. In a 20,000 word manifesto issued as a result of that convention, they called on communists all over the world in countries where there were non-communist governments to work for the destruction of their own governments by treason and subversion.''</BLOCKQUOTE>
One does not have to read very far into the manifesto to find reference to what Reagan is speaking of:
<BLOCKQUOTE>''Nevertheless, imperialism, which is intent on maintaining its positions, sabotages disarmament, seeks to prolong the cold war and aggravate it to the utmost, and persists in preparing a new world war. This situation demands ever closer joint efforts and resolute actions on the part of the [[socialism|socialist]] countries, the international working class, the national anti-imperialist movement, all peace-loving countries and all peace champions, to prevent war and assure a peaceful life for people. It demands the further consolidation of all revolutionary forces in the fight against imperialism, for national independence, and for [[socialism]].''</BLOCKQUOTE>
