I have Democrat relatives as well. You would be wise to send them YouTube links to Yuri Bezmenov’s excellent lectures on what Socialism and Communism entails. After watching his lecture series twice..I will never trust Democrats again.
Like Vampires, they are difficult to put down. Maybe even harder than vampires.
In this 1984 film, G. Edward Griffin interviews Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB propagandist who defected from the Soviet system. Mr. Bezmenov lays out the modus operandi of Communistic, Fifth-Column infiltration, throughout entire social, economic, and political structures. He describes the four-step process required for bringing down a society and making it socialist:
1)Demoralization ideological subversion and psychological warfare through mass propaganda from the inside;
2)Destabilization of society, in such areas as economy, foreign relations and defense systems;
3)Crisis creation;
4)Post-crisis normalization, under the military boot.
Mr. Bezmenov also goes deep into the horrors of social engineering, paranoia-creation, political persecution, and severe quashing of dissent that characterize Sovietized societies.
