- Notes:
- This 1966 pamphlet uses four polar images to show the progressive spread of communism, the final view reflecting the Cuban revolution. With red arrows aimed at the U.S. from all directions, the text quotes Lenin's remark that after capturing Eastern Europe and Asia, "we shall encircle that last bastion of capitalism, the United States. We shall not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands." The pamphlet itself (at 20) repeats the theme: "The abduction of Cuba situates the octopus-like power of international communism within arm's reach of their prized and ultimate conquest, bringing Lenin's master plan for world domination to its third and last stage, the encirclement of the United States of America."
The collection includes numerous maps - from Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Latin America, the Netherlands and the U.S. - employing the octopus motif. (Search > “octopus”.) Many of these relate to imperialism and war, from 1877 to the Cold War. Others attack social and political targets, including a "reactionary" journalist, the Standard Oil monopoly, “Landlordism,” mail order houses, Jews and Mormons.
