Marxist-Leninist Subversion Works Today Via Pop Culture
Cold warriors still remember the good old days when Marxist-Leninist thinking adhered strictly to the Soviet Union. The USSR is gone now, and the new Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, is said to be a born-again Christian who must broker peace deals with an American president who’s itching at times to go to war with Syria. The “conservative” Russian Bear now protects European culture all the way to the Pacific, just as it once did during Czarist times.
Too smart to remain an easy target, Marxist-Leninism has made itself invisible. Kindly Chinese manufacturing has taken over the material desires of average Americans, while US media and education see to their values and thinking. No, it’s not just about young people either.
Marxist-Leninism has found a new transparent home in Western governments, according to one-time KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov, as pointed out in a recent article by Selwyn Duke, who describes a new New Left that makes terms like liberal and conservative decidedly obsolete for those still using them:
I wouldn’t first and foremost spend time on intellectual appeals. As the Soviets once did (as explained by ex-KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov) I’d seek to undermine the morality of the target nation. I’d spread the idea that morality is really “values” and values are relative — all just a matter of perspective, you see.
Once this was accepted and people no longer believed in the rules of morality, it would be as if they ceased believing in the rules of human nutrition: not thinking any food could actually be “bad,” they’d be governed only by taste and would try, and could develop an affinity for, anything — even perhaps poison. Vice corresponds to this on the moral menu.
I’d then get them hooked on their bad moral diet through inundation. Stoke their lust’s fires via highly sexualized entertainment, and portray violence as just as casual and cool, so lashing out at others seems the norm. I’d engorge their egos with media messages about how they could determine their own morality so that, as the serpent said, “you will be like God.” I’d provide co-ed dorms and a general party atmosphere at universities, creating “occasions of sin” that will ensure the kids have as much as possible they need to justify.
And after robbing them of moral judgment and creating a visceral craving for vice, I’d fill their heads full of anti-Western, anti-Christian — in fact, anti-goodness — ideas in college classrooms. When I was done with them, they’d not only possess the discernment of a man in the midst of a drug-fueled orgy, their egos would be so bloated they’d consider their ignorance wisdom.
