> "The sound of thoughts being transformed echos late into the night" Kind of a haunting last line from the video. They make them repeat the same formulas, presumably praises to the party, over and over, endlessly. I have always wondered how effective that is and if some end up internalizing it and are actually brainwashed. I have recited many of those in the Soviet Union. Learned poems praising Lenin and the workers and whatnot but never believed a bit of it. How do officials test that their methods are working? "Will you follow the party's commandments?". How many would say "no" knowing they are buying themselves another yeah in the camps.
