The federal government presented documentary evidence at Harry Bridges deportation hearings in San Francisco showing that the Communist party seeks to overthrow the American government by force. It cited official literature including the Communist Manifesto and widespread printed material advocating violence, class and religious strife, and disruption of the armed forces. The government argued Communism has openly preached and practiced violence, promoted strikes against the government, and acted as a network of malcontents and criminals. It asserted the record of Communist acts and facts stands as proof of intent, noting Communism was brought to the United States to destroy its social and governing systems and to substitute red sovietism for Americanism.
