Communism

"Communists are not content merely to appeal to special interests of minority groups. They do not hesitate to take issues boldly before the general American public. They realize, however, that a direct appeal under their own name would normally boomerang. Communist endorsement is often the "kiss of death" to any issue. Accordingly, the Party has devised a deceptive technique known as the "front organization." A front is a permanent or temporary organization, secretly founded by the Communist Party, but publicly appearing as a civic-minded group of citizens espousing a worth-while cause."
