No, it didn’t.
We simply failed to do anything about the useful idiots.

So let’s say I know a couple whose marriage is on the rocks and I claim that they have a strategy to put it back together. I predict we will see them spend more time apart, use different checking accounts, and spend time with the kids individually rather than as a couple. All designed to reduce friction between them and allow the relationship to revive itself.
But instead of carrying out this strategy, the bottom falls out and they get a divorce. So now they’re living apart, they’re using their own checking accounts, and they alternate custody of the kids.
Have I been proven correct? Is their marriage on track to be a world beater? Are they carrying out their strategy?
That’s kind of what Golitsyn’s predictions bring to mind.

Yes.
The difference between fascism and communism is not like day and night as liberal socialists purport it to be; fascism and communism are like brothers of evil.
Why did communism fake its death at the collapse of the Soviet Union? Let me tell you this: The 'death' of communism was faked because the globalist elite had used the ideology to clash with capitalism during the 45 year long Cold War. It had served its purpose.
From the end of the Cold War through to the present day, the globalists would merge capitalism (blue) with communism (red) to produce fascism (purple); the ideology of the one world order.
Think Nazi Germany, times that by 100.
Yes and all the while communism was spreading here in the USA.
My addiction to his books and theory cost me at least a couple of girlfriends, and I sure would love to be "vindicated" before leaving the planet.
OTOH, he and vodka did drive James Jesus Angleton nuts and caused a massive rift in our intelligence apparatus over whether or not Nosenko was a real or fake defector.
Nosenko, (Fake Defector, IMHO) was sent here to "sell" the CIA the the story that the the KGB "Knew nothing about Lee Harvey Oswald," among other disinformative tales, some partially true, others made of whole cloth. Unfortunately, CIA Policy was to accept him as real. Those who questioned were drummed out of the service.
Golitsyn? Batting pretty damn near a 1000 in his "predictions." Nutty? Yeah. Just don't bet against him!

It’s not about Communism, it’s about Russian power, be it Czars or Commissars or Putin.
So does that mean Reagan didn’t win the Cold War after all without firing a shot as Mrs. Thatcher claimed?
The American people will endorse communism so long as it is not labeled “communist”. Huey Pierce Long, Jr., once said that ehe people could in time become “fascist” but call it “anti-fascism”.
There is no evidence of “pretending to collapse” in the late 20th century USSR. There is evidence of an actual collapse. There is also evidence of attempt at reform (glasnost and perestroyka) that got out of Kremlin’s control, but that is not the same as pretending.
People who lead us to serfdom are not agents of Komintern. They are homegrown idiots, community organizers with lust for power, and apparatchiks who enable them, who might occasionally borrow an idea or two from Lenin and Trotzky. Understand that while the Gulag and the single-ideology state are not attractive, some elements of marxism are attractive to very many. For example, many, possibly a majority, of Americans want socialized medicine, banking and education, a solid majority wants the pension system run by the state, nearly all want separation of church and state. These are all building blocks of marxism, but people who want them are not marxists, let alone agents of a foreign power. They simply want a free lunch, a naturally occuring human condition.
For us in America it is very much about Communism. However, you are very correct, in my opinion, that the post-Suslov Soviet elite, those who rose through the ranks in the 70s and ended up on top in the 80s were not communist ideologues but rather nationalists and imperialists. Their main concern was preservation of the soviet spheres of power around the Kremlin. Putin, for example, considers the disintegration of the Soviet Union the greatest tragedy of the 20c, not unlike some Anglophile would consider the disintegration of the British empire a great tragedy. But Putin would readily acknowledge that the soviet economic system was unworkable. This is another argument against Golitsyn’s analysis.
Obama is empowering the relics overseas. We have a form of communism now at home. Obama has got to go. 2012 will be too late.
...not to mention in the workings of the Dept. of Education, universities and nationalized school administrators. Ayers has been alive, well-funded and preaches on.

I wonder if the FBI has (had) a file on BO? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Gee, the bullet holes in Nicolae Ceausescu’s head looked pretty real...
And the evil sonovabitch in the White House is real.
Russia and China are now capitalist in their fashion.
The communists became journalists, environmentalists and Democrats and took over the USA. Now we’re attempting a counterrevolution. It’s all quite obvious.
Communism is like Cancer. It spreads out but is still Cancer.
Capitalism remains alive and well and communism remains as dead as a doornail.
But conspiracy theorists have lots of time on their hands...

The left keeps regrouping and coming back. It doesn’t require a conspiracy. It doesn’t need to play dead. It just waits for an opportunity for a power play. All it takes is a few determined nuts and a quorum of useful idiots.
