Missionary Marxism, by Father John Meagher

Missionary Marxism, by Father John Meagher

Published by the Catholic Truth Society of Ireland in 1948, 16 pages (S5208)

This rare pamphlet, published in Ireland just after the Second World War, attacks Communism - proclaiming on the cover that 'Communism specializes in lies, deceit and fraud, in all the subtle and insidious technique of fifth column activities'

The booklet examines how the Soviet Union seeks to export communism, and attempts to expose what marxism and communism really are - a godless movement bent on world domination - claiming 'There is nothing to choose between the Nazi's, who manufactured soap from human fat, and the Russian Marxists, who continue to exploit human sweat and life in the interests of industrial schemes rendered necessary by the backward state of Russia, and the huge military machine has built up to preserve the power of a clique from internal and external opposition'

Condition of the pamphlet is generally ok. The cover has several minor scuffs, blemishes and creases, and light nibbling and wear along the edges, but the staple spine and all pages are intact. Their is considerable yellowing and some creases to the inside pages throughout
