There is a document by that name, which has been circulating for many years. It was initially reported that the document first came to light when it was discovered by U.S. troops in Europe... in 1919. Some agree with that assessment , other including Snopes disagree.
When and where it was found, is of little import...since anyone or any political force can adopt the principles.. I am only asking that we each take a look to see if these rules are being utilized here in the U.S. today...in an effort to weaken/destroy our nation. Here it is, as foundin the "chaplain's corner" of an American Legion publication..

Communist Rules for Revolution... This article appeared in a recent issue of the California Legionnaire Chaplains’ Corner I remembered a document which had fallen into my hands, a duplicate of one found by our Allied forces in May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany which contained “Communist Rules for Revolution” which read as follows:
A. Corrupt the young: get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
B. Get control of all means of publicity thereby:
1. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics,
sexy books and plays and other trivialities.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping
on controversial matters of no importance.
3. Destroy the people’s faith in their leaders by holding them up to contempt,
ridicule and obliquity.
4. Always preach true democracy, but, seize’ power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit,
“produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders
and foster lenient and soft attitudes on the part of the government towards such disorders.
7. By specious argument, cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues of honesty,
sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word.
C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.
If this was authentic in 1919 - today much of these goals have al ready reached far into maturity. Check each item in the with the actual situation today. My prayer is: May God wake our Americans to realize what is happening and the source of our troubles - and do something about it. We don’t have too much time left.

One thing which points to at least the genuiness of age, is the utilization of illicit drugs. Apparently they were not in widespread use in 1917 Bolshevik circles, so they didn't recognize their destructive power.
Is anyone or any political party utilizing these tactics today?
