Undermining Democracy

24-7-5 How Communists Took Over America 1/3 - Notes From The Past > .>> Political Philosophy >>>  >> Politics >>>  >> Propaganda, DISinformation >>>
Societal Manipulation 


The "best description" of gradual, transformational subversion "comes from Yuri Bezmenov."
Subversion refers to a process by which the values and principles of an established system are contradicted or reversed in an attempt to sabotage the existing social order and its structures of power, authority, tradition, hierarchy, and social norms. It involves a systematic attempt to overthrow or undermine a government or political system, often carried out by persons working secretly from within. Subversion is used as a tool to achieve political goals because it generally carries less risk, cost, and difficulty as opposed to open belligerency. The act of subversion can lead to the destruction or damage of an established system or government. In the context of ideological subversion, subversion aims to gradually change the perception and values of a society, ultimately leading to the undermining of its existing systems and beliefs.

“The highest art of warfare is not to fight at all but to subvert anything of value in the country of your enemy.” Yuri Bezmenov .

Yuri Bezmenov outlines the four stages of ideological subversion as follows:
  • Demoralisation: This stage involves the undermining of the moral fabric of a society, eroding its values, and creating a sense of disillusionment and hopelessness among its population.
  • Destabilisation: During this stage, the subverter aims to destabilise the institutions and functions of the society, leading to a state of crisis and a breakdown of the existing social, political, and economic systems.
  • Crisis: The crisis stage involves a period of intense turmoil, where the subverter exploits the destabilisation to create widespread panic, fear, and conflict within the society.
  • Normalisation: In this final stage, the subverter seeks to normalise the previously subversive ideas and changes, making them appear acceptable and part of the new status quo, thereby solidifying the subversion.
