The documentary Hypernormalisation talks about the strategies Bezmenov lines out the four basic stages from a slightly different angle. Worth a watch. Things have gotten even more frightening since this warning. Bezmenov talks as if it's only the left that's targeted by ideological subversion, and maybe that was the primary strategy at the time, but it sure seems like both sides are are in play now.

- raidicy 5y agoI wish there were literature or media on the subjects that Curtis covers. I find Adam Curtis is more focused on making entertaining docus than explicitly informative. On occasion in other docs he's made some claims of fact on topics that have more nuance than "yes" or "no".

- propagandist 5y agoIt's a great watch for that reason and for laying out just how much of our political systems are pure theatre. Fantastic production to boot.
- ta988 5y agoThere is almost no "left" (in the European sense) in the US. So yes, not much to subvert.
- jhbadger 5y agoNot much in office, no. But say, on US academic campuses you'll find lots of people even in the 21st century who still claim to be Marxist. The traditional Left definitely exists in the US as a subculture.
