The NSC or National Security Council is a government organization. It is a forum used by the president for national security and foreign policy matters.
The authors of NSC-68 identify the most contagious idea in history as the belief in the superiority of the communist system and the inevitability of its global triumph. They viewed this idea as a threat to the values of freedom and democracy, leading them to advocate for a strong containment policy against the spread of communism.

1. NSC-68 This document assumed that we were losing the Cold War and assumed there was something called a monolithic communist threat which assumed that all communists were like Stalin. It also said that the US must fight communism everywhere. In order to prepare for WWIII predicted for 1954, we needed to build up our military on a massive scale. They were afraid of the domino theory, that if one nation fell to communism al nations surrounding would too.
