The Politics of Division Part 1

"We can and must write in a language that sows among the masses, hate, revulsion and scorn toward those who disagree with us."

— Vladimir Lenin, Russian revolutionary and political theorist. The first head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 until his death in 1924.

All the chaos and violence in our country has Americans confused and wondering how it is we have come to this. Why is this happening? Why do they scream for justice and human rights while destroying private property, looting businesses and attacking police? Why is the Democrat political machine supporting them? Who are these activist organizations providing logistical support and why are they receiving American taxpayer money?

This are all legitimate, rational questions and I will attempt to give you some answers. But for that we must return to the past and an old nemesis that no longer exists in its former form, but whose ideological subversion schemes are still bearing fruit today in the United States, the Soviets.

Stalin and subsequent Communist Party leaders, understood all too well the human mind and its propensity for psychological manipulation and they invested heavily on think tanks made up of behavioral scientists and Marxist scholars and theorists. They knew that unlike the homogeneous Soviet Union, the United States was a society of many ethnicities and social and economic classes, therefore, subject to the manipulation of whatever grievances already existed between them.

Stalin’s monstrous internal security apparatus, the NKVD, the precursor to the KGB, had a foreign intelligence division and it was tasked with this mission to undermine the fragile unity and cohesion that existed within America society using the politics of division. Subsequently, Soviet propaganda and ideological subversion began a chain of events in America that is still exploiting our society along the lines of racial and economic disparities and continues to this day in degrading civic unity at the hands of not Soviet “agents provocateurs” but Americans themselves, specifically, the American Left.

Although the Soviet Union lost its struggle against the West in 1991, the enduring effects of its “active measures” campaign, as they called it, continues to reap the benefits of earlier work. The Soviet Union’s expansive campaign, and its resulting ideological subversion, illustrated a weakness in American society that can be further exploited to divide American society and weaken the West.

The vitriol of the American liberal “Left,” particularly, among both young and old, college educated women of all races, most of whom are single, childless and the largest demographic of Americans on psychotropic medications, has no moral or ethical boundaries. They are consumed by a visceral hatred towards traditional American values of family, faith, self-reliance, personal freedom and patriotism. But all this is by design.

The decisive point of Soviet active measures was gaining access to key influencers within American society.  In a free and open society where education was virtually universal, economic accomplishment created increased time for entertainment, and the news was published and distributed without government involvement, the identification of the institutions that could prove most fruitful in accomplishing Stalin’s goals was simple.

Although the Soviets attempted and often succeeded in infiltrating numerous government institutions through their extensive espionage efforts, the main targets for carrying on ideological subversion were academia, the media, and the entertainment industry, the three megaphones of American culture.

The advances in Technology, specifically the internet, has created a world “that for the first time in human history allows people to maintain rich connections with much larger numbers of people.Internet forums, chat rooms, networking sites, and social media have, to a degree, created an alternate universe of sorts.

It is an environment where you can be whom you want, when you want, and act in ways that you would not have the courage to do in a face-to-face setting. The internet has enabled the creation of self-proclaimed experts with cult-like followings. Frequently devoid of critical thought or analysis, these followers believe and repeat anything posted. And who is the biggest user of social media? The American left.

We are reminded daily of the degree to which our unity and cohesion, has diminished. Division and animosity have become an increasingly regular aspect of life within the United States. A sad state of affairs, indeed.

In the next chapter I will introduce you to Stalin’s earliest agent provocateur in America.
