"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." (Joseph Stalin)
Hoax, http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa121800a.htm
A book rebutting right-wing fabrications of supposed Lenin "quotes" and "documents" like this, http://www.restoringamerica.org/documents/1919_communist_rules.html is , "The Hoaxers, Plain Liars, Fancy Liars, and Damned Liars, " by Morris Kominsky. Boston: Branden Press, Inc. 1970.
Rather hilarious though. http://www.snopes.com/language/document/commrule.htm These nine rules were seized in a raid in Dusseldorf Germany, in 1919. The files were marked, "Communist Rules for Revolution". Corrupt the young: get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
Get control of all means of publicity. Get peoples' minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.
Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
Destroy the peoples' faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances)
Always preach ;true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent.
Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders.
By special argument cause a breakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.
