In paragraph 4,how does kennedy respond to those who believe communism is a positive system
andrew11 [14]

The speech this question is referring to is President Kennedy's Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs, May 25, 1961

Kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

<em>"Yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. They have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. They send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. But where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in Vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)</em>

President Kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation.
