Stalin laid down five intermediate goals of Communism as necessary steps toward the ultimate goal of global conquest.

Summarised, they are as follows:

1. Confuse, disorganise and destroy the forces of capitalism around the world.

2. Bring all nations together into a single world system of economy.

3. Force the advanced countries to pour prolonged financial aid into the underdeveloped countries.

4. Divide the world into regional groups as a transitional stage to total world government.

The intermediate goals of communism, as spelt out by Stalin in 1942:

1. Confuse, disorganise and destroy the free enterprise in industry and trade around the world.

Bring all nations together into a single world of economy.

2. Force the advanced countries to pour prolonged financial aid into the underdeveloped countries, so destroying the economies built up during the colonial era.

3. Introduce divide and rule tactics between the races of the world, and in particular between the coloured and the white races, in the same way that the early communists sought to divide the skilled and unskilled in European countries.

4. Divide the world into regional groups as a transitional stage to total world government.
