Communist and other authoritarian Socialists have historically embedded themselves into genuinely democratic and progressive movements. In the early twentieth century, for example, Communists infiltrated the labor movement, a movement born out of the right to free association, in order to exploit workers as cannon fodder in their war against private ownership. Communists would later exploit the largely Conservative and Christian civil rights movement, a movement that sought genuine opportunity for people of African ancestry. The Communist infiltrators used the civil rights movement in an attempt to divide, disrupt and weaken America, seeking to further divide the people on the basis of race and institutionalize a Black economic underclass with government- sponsored and taxpayer-funded welfare programs. The Communist infiltrators fanned the flames of race conflict, which led to the rioting that destroyed American Black neighborhoods in the 1960's.

Programs of forced economic redistribution implemented by Communist and Socialist authoritarian political regimes have been responsible for most of the dire poverty, starvation, and misery in the world today. Yet, the United Nations Summit in Johannes- burg was convened to urge a further perpetuation of the suffering by seeking to transfer the hard earned capital of the free world into the bank accounts of oppressive Third World Communist and Socialist dictators. Instead of handing over billions to corrupt Leftist dictatorships, the U.N. could use its moral capital to influence Third World governments to allow banks to invest, with low interest loans, in small business ventures. Corporations could be encouraged to set up shop under mutually agreed upon conditions and private ownership of property could be fostered. The UN could use its considerable influence to encourage free elections and the development of constitutional republics.

The second pillar, "social progress" is nothing more than a euphemism for abortion, birth control, gay rights, and other jewels in the Humanist/Leftist crown. The obstacle to "social progress," for the Communists and Socialists at the summit, consists of reli- giously based traditional societies and absolute codes of morality. Social progress means U.N. meddling, preferably by forceful means, in the sovereign affairs of traditional cultures and nations. Social progress equals social control by the internationalist authoritarian-minded Left.

For the third pillar of sustainable development, protection of the environment, America offers the best model. The exemplary American record is born out of respect for private property and, inherent in that respect, a natural desire by Americans to maintain clean water, clean air, and other environmental considerations. Americans instinctively understand that when the environment deteriorates, property values drop and the quality of life declines in a given area. An example of a Communist/Socialist model of environmental protection, on the other hand, would be the former Soviet Union, where tracts of land bigger than Massachusetts are so polluted that they are uninhabitable and whole seas have been sucked dry. Rather than the development of private property, and the fostering of self-interest, a proven system of environmental protection, the Johannesburg Summiteers seek outright control of the earth.

The problem with the U.N. approach to sustainable development is systemic and is easily detectable in its Communist and Socialist founding. From its founding under the guidance and leadership of Alger Hiss to the present day, the U.N. is based on Communist/ Socialist principles of total one world control with all rights emanating from its earthly authority, backed by the force of arms. The U.N. has sought to stamp out freedom- oriented solutions to world problems by supporting Communist and other authoritarian Socialist regimes, encouraging an agenda of social control that would have made Adolf Hitler blush, and stealthily trying to implement world government by eroding national sovereignty and the God-given natural rights of man.
