Reading this is ammunition for the Right to blame our failures on Democrats.

The brainwashing of MAGA supporters has worked well.
The print is not a transcript, the interview goes more in depth.
I think Mr. Bezmenov overstate the capabilities and influence of Russia, and I think you understate them.
Back in the early 10's as social media was becoming more prominent Putin could see the power of it and did an experiment on his own people. He set up bot farms to flood SM with propaganda about homosexuals accusing them..
Putin realised you could manipulate people into thinking the sky is green and the grass is blue.
Happy to be corrected on any of the above, it's just a theory.
My guess is that the ideological subversion deployed by the soviet union was later co-opted by putin, not to spread communism but to create chaos and destabilise.
