      It is false "history" --- In other words, it is a propaganda piece calculated to indoctrinate viewers with Birch Society views which were falsified by numerous sources including the FBI (and its informants inside the Communist Party), House Committee on Un-American Activities, California Senate Factfinding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities and many conservative authors.
      That is also why neo-nazis recommend this film -- because it aligns with their racist beliefs.

Your comment is meaningless if you do not care to separate FACT from FICTION. The Birch Society's filmstrip is mostly FICTION as pointed out by numerous sources including FBI investigative files, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, and the California Senate Factfinding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities.
      I note, for the record (yet again) that NONE of my critics ever QUOTES ANYTHING I have written and then refutes it. Just because someone is familiar with the Communist Manifesto does not mean we must accept every lunatic assertion made by someone with a malicious agenda to promote.

    “Anarchy U.S.A” is a 76-minute 1966 documentary film produced by the John Birch Society. It claims that the civil rights movement in the United States is part of a Communist conspiracy to encourage a violent revolution which will result in the creation of a separate “Negro Soviet Republic” in the “Black Belt” of the South (a term which the film claims was created by Communists).
    In reality, “black belt” refers to the cotton belt - which “region derives its name from the black soil which is prevalent in contrast to the red clays to the north and south.” [Thomas C. Cochran and Wayne Andrews: Concise Dictionary of American History, Scribner’s, 1962, page 99]. The film implies that “black belt” refers to a new country based upon skin color.
    Another distortion in the film pertains to a slogan used by Fidel Castro, i.e. “Venceremos!” which, in Spanish, means “We will win” but the film suggests that the slogan was translated into English by African American Communists and then set to music to become the anthem of our civil rights movement as “We Shall Overcome”. Actually, this music originated from an old 19th century Baptist hymn entitled “I’ll Be All Right” combined with the text of the 1901 gospel hymn “I’ll Overcome Someday” by Methodist preacher Charles Albert Tindley. [Jon M. Spencer: Protest and Praise-Sacred Music of Black Religion, Fortress Press, 1991, page 84].
    The film then tries to connect our civil rights movement to Communist revolutions in Algeria, Cuba, and China and the film claims that the same strategies used to produce Communist regimes in those places were being used in the U.S. -so it’s all part of a sinister conspiracy to create a Negro Soviet Republic.
    However, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover testified in 1960 that the Communist Party USA discarded its “Negro Soviet Republic” strategy at its 17th National Convention in 1959.!
    QUOTING FROM FBI FILE DOCUMENT ABOUT THIS CONVENTION:
    "The Negro resolution adopted by the convention discarded the party's historic position advocating 'self-determination' meaning that Negroes should be given the right to form a separate nation in the Southern States…The 1959 convention resolution hence represents a party admission that its position concerning Negroes is bankrupt. Time itself has shown that the party is not interested in the welfare of the Negro, but only in using him as a tool to advance party interests." [J. Edgar Hoover: An Analysis of the 17th National Convention of the Communist Party USA; Statement made to Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, 1/17/60, page 7; Also see: FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, March 1960 - for same comment.]
    Further corroboration for this change in Communist Party strategy can be seen in testimony by a former FBI informant who later became a JBS member and paid speaker i.e. comments by Lola Belle Holmes (who attended the 17th National Convention).
    In addition, the FBI falsified almost every major predicate of JBS ideology concerning our civil rights movement and its leadership.
    Anarchy USA links the U.S. civil rights movement to a worldwide Communist conspiracy. According to the JBS, Anarchy USA was put together by JBS staff in the summer of 1965 and it cost $75,000 to produce and prints sold for $150 each. 500 prints were in circulation around the U.S.
    Anarchy USA contained shocking photography of the mutilated victims of revolutionary activity in China, Cuba, and Algeria and then combined that material with shots of Negro civil rights rallies here at home, and the film concludes:
    ‘We have offered only a brief survey of the material that is available to support the charge that the civil rights movement, as we know it today, is simply part of a worldwide movement, organized and directed by Communists, to enslave all mankind.”
    Rex Westerfield, Western Director of Public Relations for the Birch Society, described the film as “decidedly the most powerful tool we’ve ever had” in presenting the Birch Society’s views on our civil rights movement.
    In the August 1966 JBS Bulletin, Robert Welch instructed JBS members:
    “Show the film Anarchy U.S.A. far and wide and often…It will be far more convincing now-as to what can happen in this country-than it was before Detroit.”
    Robert Welch and the JBS adopted the core white supremacist argument when the JBS declared in the June 1965 issue of the JBS Bulletin sent to all JBS members that:
    “Our task must be simply to make clear that the movement known as 'civil rights' is Communist-plotted, Communist-controlled, and in fact...serves only Communist purposes."
    Not surprisingly, this JBS filmstrip was shown at events sponsored by White Citizens Councils and by the Ku Klux Klan and by neo-nazi groups. For example, an FBI report about the Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania reported that the Bucks County chapter of the National Knights of the KKK showed Anarchy USA on January 22, 1974 (8 years after Anarchy was first released!). For example, see page 47 at:
    archive.org/stream/foia_National_Knights_KKK-26/National_Knights_KKK-26#page/n95


    Anarchy USA also features an interview with a former African American member of the Communist Party USA. (Leonard Patterson) czcams.com/video/01XCkppfHkY/video.html
    However, Birchers never bother to perform due diligence to determine whether or not their sources are credible and reliable.
    The Birch Society used several African Americans as paid speakers (including Patterson)- usually under the auspices of its front group, Truth About Civil Turmoil (TACT).
    Significantly, NONE of the African Americans used by the JBS as paid speakers ever discussed the discrimination and oppression that black Americans confronted in their everyday lives-particularly in our southern states.
    Instead, those black Birchers focused exclusively in their speeches upon what they claimed was "Communist" influence, control, and domination of our civil rights movement or alleged "Communist" involvement in racial disturbances.
    For example, let’s briefly consider Bircher Leonard Patterson:
    On January 27, 1966 Patterson appeared on the Louis Lomax TV program in Los Angeles and he declared that the Watts riots in August 1965 were directed by the CPUSA.
    By contrast, FBI investigative files falsify that contention - as did the Intelligence Division of the Los Angeles Police Department along with the McCone Commission which investigated the Watts riots.
    For more details, see the chapter of my JBS Report which discusses the JBS and our civil rights movement: sites.google.com/site/ernie124102/jbs-3
    On February 28, 1966, Patterson stated in his speech at Attleboro MA that the civil rights movement was part of a conspiracy starting in the 1930’s. He told his audience that NAACP, CORE and MLK Jr. were all “under the leadership of the American Communist Party”.
    Patterson was an informant for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Many Birchers are very confused about informants. Informants provide unverified RAW information. That information often includes subjective or biased assertions or conclusions because the original source has some sort of ax to grind OR the source has a specific agenda which he/she wants to advance which colors the judgments they make OR the original source is not sufficiently knowledgeable about the subject matters being discussed to make fair, reasonable, and accurate conclusions. Furthermore, the original source may just be giving the FBI rumors, gossip, speculation, half-truths, or hearsay information.
    Patterson's charges against Ralph Bunche were unanimously dismissed by the Loyalty Review Board and the Board then requested that the Department of Justice review Patterson’s testimony for possible perjury prosecution! (Birchers never tell you that!)
    In 1951, Patterson was contacted by the FBI's Detroit field office to inquire if he would be willing to provide information concerning an individual who had attended the Lenin School during 1932. According to a FBI comment on a New York City FBI search slip, Patterson "refused to be interviewed re: (name redacted) attendance at Lenin School in Moscow unless he was compensated." [FBI-NYC 100-144597, serial #236, page 2, which is a 3/2/66 search slip in John Birch Society file showing all FBI-NYC file references to Patterson. Original documentation in FBI-NYC file 100-59645, serials #133, #144, #148.]
    Patterson and some other informants were more interested in the money they could get for testifying rather than being scrupulously accurate about their experience within the Communist Party. In other cases. they claimed to have expertise which was severely limited to time, place, and scope -- and they did NOT have genuine knowledge about the matters they discussed in speeches and in their writings -- so they just substituted whatever personal opinions their hosts wanted to hear -- in order to receive their compensation

      Anarchy means "absence of government" which is far right wing. Right wing means limited power government. Moving to the far left is a"Dictatorship" or increased power governments. At least thats what real textbooks of several decades ago printed. I still have my old political science books. Now compare these terms to today and the academic propaganda is so robust that places like wikipedia outright claim that Nazi Germany (a socialist dictatorship) is a far right ideology. Where is the limited power government under Hitlers dictatorship ? There wasnt one. This is marxist propaganda to discredit voters from voting right wing, and ultimately ushering in communism in America.

    Nelson Rockefeller (joo) organized the John Birch Society. Nelson Rockefeller agreed to buy the Welch Candy Comp.
    This Candy Comp. didn't belong to Robert Welch (nose 👃 man), but to his brother John (also a Gonzo).
    Robert Welch had a Candy Comp. in the Great Depression that went bankrupt.
    His brother John hired him for his Candy Comp.
    Nelson Rockefeller agreed the Natural Biscuit Comp. would buy the Welch Candy Comp. so Welch could devote his entire time to the John Birch Society.
    Thus, the JBS became a government front. Not too many folks new this front group was in reality of the tribe.
