Yuri Bezmenov - how to subvert a society

KGB defector who changed his name to Tomas Schuman on how to demoralise a society. His work has been widely stolen from by far right commentators, (programmes like follow the white rabbit) and this is the origin of the termiology. As an adversary the extent of his work was not to introduce into america something alien but to promote existing tendencies and attitudes in society that are already destroying it. There is apparantly reason behind it; it is questionable why american security interests (Security being the only section that functions properly) invest so much in countering internet censorship in china and 'democracy movements' in the middle east.

The point is you have a direct correlation between the dominant political attitudes in the west - and exactly what someone would do if they wanted to actually destroy a nation.

Yuri says their goal is to undermine/break up the following.

Ideas:
Religion - politicise, commercialise - postmodernism: 'supermarket of faith'
Education - promote moral relativity and permissiveness
Media - monopolise it, make it irrelevant and narrative driven, create a myopia of uninformed opinion
Culture - False heroes and role models, consumerism, fads.

Structures:
Law and order - Is 'legislative' not moral
Social relations - Rights vs. obligations, replacement of community with bureaucracy, social workers ect.
Security - denigrate the image of Police, Military, intelligence as dangerous. glamorise/portray sympathetically; outlaws, criminals, the enemy, spies, etc.
Internal politics - politics/Political party non issues = antagonisms - divide society against itself.
Foreign relations - enemies as 'friends', stunts, world community.

Life:
Family - Break up, create dependency on welfare.
Health - sports as supplement, junk food, - enfeeble the masses
Race - Run ethnic conflict, promote entitlement of minority group/oppression complex
Population - Urbanise the population, 'urban culture' to alienate them from the historical national life
Labour - Unions vs society. Promote entitlement and victimisation

I think an important part of argument is having a consistant message. Here you have all of these individual things that relate to the wider issue of national survival. To oppose the processes that are aimed against you requires that you should expose the destructive tendency for what it is. Liberals will say things like 'racist' if they want to discredit you, because if you promote group identity exclusion is a possibility = RACISM! - you must make people understand it is the same of liberalism, that it is their destruction and that the choice in this world is between Communism and Fascism/ death and Life.
