This was the stark specter facing the non-Communist nations in the decades before World War II: a power covering one-sixth of the earth’s surface had at its command a global movement that was fighting to wrest control of organized labor everywhere, fomenting revolutions in the colonial regions, vying for the allegiance of the western intelligentsia, and planting spies wherever it could—all with the goal of bringing about [[Bolshevism]] to the all of the world’s peoples. <ref>Ralph Raico, [http://www.independent.org/publications/article.asp?id=1468 ''FDR: The Man, the Leader, the Legacy''], Future of Freedom Foundation, April 1, 2001.

The Comintern Electronic Archives cites the organization as "The General staff of the [[world revolution]]". <ref>[http://www.comintern-online.com/Files%20of%20the%20Communist%20Party%20of%20the%20USA.html COMINTERN Electronic Archives]. Retrieved 15 July 2007. </ref>
When the Soviet Union itself was invaded in on 22 June 1941, the Comintern switched its position to one of active support for the [[Allies]]. A document dated 11 July 1941 making a strategic assessment for the United States [[War Department]] entitled ''Military Intelligence Estimates Prepared by G-2'' states “The Comintern through the Soviet Regime is striving for a [[world revolution]] in the interests of Communism. <ref>[http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/pha/pt_14/x14-033.html#2 Military Intelligence Estimates Prepared by G-2], p. 1341.</ref>
The Comintern was publicly disbanded in 1943, however its underground apparatus remained active throughout [[World War II]] and into the [[Cold War]] era.
