The oft-stated goal of communism is to remove the "bourgeois state". Here's how an Italian communist, Antonoio Gramsci (d. 1937), said it should be done, as quoted by present-day communist Hugo Chavez.
In essence, Gramsci said to eliminate the bourgeois state requires the seizure of the institutions that reproduce the thought patterns of the dominant (bourgeois) class. And what are these institutions? According to Chavez, they are the Church, the education system and the mass media.
How will the communists "eliminate" these three pillars of society? Not by violent overthrow, since the institutions have lives of their own. They have existed for hundreds of years -- nearly two millennia in the case of the Church.
The only way for the communists to destroy the Church, the education system and the media is through co-option and subversion. It is not "right-wing lunacy" to see "communists in every closet" of our media, schools and churches. The communists are infilitrating and subverting these institutions, yet we go on our merry way, blissfully unaware.
