    It's amazing that we absolutely fell into this trap... Everything that Yuri Bezmenov said would happen, is happening...

    A sad watch... but a must watch non the less.

    LOL! Really? From the time of Mondale and the Sowiet Union? So, this must be from the early 80s.

    40 years later, nothing of this has come to pass, communists, Leninists and Marxists basically don't exist anymore, the Sowiet Union has been destroyed, and Putin's Russian threat has been exposed as a paper tiger that can't even conquer Ukraine.

    Of course, the threat of Russian propaganda with the aim to destabilize the US still exists. But, this time, it is through populist RW media that fosters hate for the government and the +50% of Americans that do not subscribe to the far RW paranoia.

    You don’t think schools and colleges are learning centers for advancing communism and Marxism and hating America? There are college students who proudly claim to be communists or marxists and they do so while burning our flag. It will get even worse now that China has infiltrated our education system and media.

    What? Today's kids don't even know who Lenin and Marx were, other than some ancient figures from history books that they are tortured with in exams.

    My son just started college. All of his friends wear nice clothes and drive cars, not a communist in sight. If you want to stoke the fearmongering of communism, you are 50 years late.

    So you have no idea what the difference is between political power and ideological power. Got it

    Actually it would apply to anyone who's in denial about it's obvious influence in our education systems

    A lot of what you say is true. The socialist nature of American youth, howevr, cannot be denied. Communism may be dead, but the spirit of "something for nothing" is alive and well.

    I'm guessing every illegal in this country would love them some communism, or as you put it, something for nothing, and right now they're getting it.

    This thread is about the "predictions" of a former KGB officer from 1984. AOC hadn't been born yet.

    And what was the prediction about? Brainwashing Americas youth into a communist mindset. For a lot of years the left loved them some Fidel Castro.

    Sigh . . .

    AOC may seem extreme to you, but she is not a communist. Like Bernie Sanders, she's a democratic socialist.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dem...ined as,socialist states and Marxism–Leninism.

    That may seem just as bad as communism to you, but it's very different. Call her what she is. That should be vilification enough without making up bullshit.

    Call her what she is? She’s a barmaid with zero experience making national decisions.

    Congress doesn’t educate people or make them smarter. And it says a lot about her district, they like dumb women and big knobs. Sounds racist to me.

    You don't think people are capable of learning on the job?

    How do you know about her constituents? Do you live in her district? Or are you merely expressing your derision towards people you know nothing about?

    I think he's right about the knobs.
