This man was a former KGB agent and explains in detail how communism overthrows Democracies.
Over an hour but worth every penny and second. The best I’ve ever seen, bar none.

00:00
this videos not mine it is a lecture
00:02
video given by Thomas Schumann his real
00:05
name is Yuri basmanov he gave this
00:07
lecture back in 1980s it took me a while
00:10
to find this golden nugget and the
00:12
reason I uploaded this video on my
00:13
channel is because it is a great lecture
00:15
that helps us in understanding the
00:17
current political scenario both around
00:19
the world as well as in our own country
00:20
and I believe it needs to be seen after
00:23
watching this you will be able to relate
00:25
what is happening today in many Western
00:26
societies like America in Europe and
00:28
unfortunately it is also happening in
00:30
India since it’s a long video please
00:33
watch it whenever you have time and
00:34
maybe you all get a bit more educated
00:36
the video starts now subversion is the
00:40
term if you’re looking at in a
00:42
dictionary or criminal code to that
00:45
matter usually his explained as a part
00:49
of activity to destroy things like
00:55
religion government system political
00:58
economical system of a country and
01:01
usually it’s linked to espionage and
01:04
such romantic things as blowing up
01:06
bridges sidetracking trains clock and
01:11
dagger activity in Hollywood style when
01:16
what I’m going to talk about now has
01:18
absolutely nothing to do with the cliche
01:21
of espionage or KGB activity of
01:25
collecting information so the greatest
01:28
mistake or missmiss misconception I
01:32
think is that whenever we are talking
01:36
about KGB for some strange reason
01:39
starting from Hollywood movie makers to
01:42
professors of political science and
01:45
quote-unquote experts on Soviet affairs
01:48
or criminologists as they call
01:50
themselves they think that the most
01:53
desirable thing for undraw off and the
01:56
whole KGB is to steal blueprints of some
01:59
supersonic jet bring it back to Soviet
02:02
Union and sell it to the Soviet military
02:06
industrial complex it’s only partly true
02:09
if if we take
02:12
the whole time money and manpower that
02:18
the Soviet Union and KGB in particular
02:21
spends outside of USSR border we will
02:26
discover of course there are no official
02:28
statistics our banquet CIA or FBI the
02:31
the espionage and such occupies only ten
02:37
to fifteen percent of money time and
02:42
manpower 50 percent of the activity of
02:47
KGB the rest eighty five percent is
02:51
always subversion and unlike a
02:56
Thanks
Yes... well worth the time to watch. Also take a look at this piece. The beginning gives some of Bezmenov’s background in the Soviet Union and the piece is done as an interview. In it, much of the same ground is covered as the earlier link but this one too is well worth the time to watch... it is 1 hr and 20 minutes long so not a short thing to watch.

It explains why China and Russia (and the USSR still under Putin’s control) have been mostly immune from the political instabilities.
I’m about 3/4though. It’s good.
