MARXIST TACTICS FOR REVOLUTION

Bezmenov said that Marxist overthrow begins by undermining the values of the targeted society. “Ideological subversion is the process, which is legitimate, overt, and open; you can see it with your own eyes. All you have to do, all American mass media has to do, is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. There is no mystery.”11

When it came to KGB efforts, Bezmenov said:

[O]nly about 15% of the time, money, and manpower [are] spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process, which we call either ‘ideological subversion,’ or ‘active measures’—in the language of the KGB—or ‘psychological warfare.’ What it basically means is, to change the perception of reality, of every American, to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.12

The ex-KGB agent said the “great brainwashing process” begins with a “demoralization” process that takes “15-20 years . . . the minimum number of years which [is required] to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy.”13

From there, “it takes only from two to five years to destabilize a nation—what matters [are] essentials: economy, foreign relations, defense systems.” Next, “It may take only up to six weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis.” Finally, “with a violent change of power, structure, and economy, you have a period of normalization. It may last indefinitely.” At that point, Marxism reigns unimpeded.
