Do you believe it is by accident that the population has become a mass of lobotomized zombies focused on trivialities, a mass of lemmings totally apathic when it comes to anything that is important? In this case you better listen to this clip from an interview with the Soviet dissident Yuri Bezmenov!
Mass schooling and mass media constitute powerful forces in our society, and like all forces, they can be used to do either good or ill, its the intend of those in control that matters.
Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. -- Joseph Stalin, Soviet Dictator
--
Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever -- Vladimir Lenin, Soviet Dictator
--
..education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished -- Johann Gottlieb Fichte, German philosopher
--
A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers. -- Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) Author Source: Forward to Brave New World, 1932
--
Give me a child and Ill shape him into anything. -- B. F. Skinner, Jewish psychologist and pioneer of behaviorism
--
..modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called education .. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment. .. Where all children go to school, and all schools are controlled by the government, the authorities can close the minds of the young to everything contrary to official orthodoxy. .. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. -- Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society

i'm sure your a reasonable fellow and had you gone to work instead of college your common sense would be alive and well,making you a greater benefit to society.i've had many intelligent friends leave for college only to come back the most rabid anti-capitalist,america hating lovers of socialism,devoid of common sense and brainwashed beyond all recover,per Yuri Bezmenov and their tactic's
As for brain washing, the techniques of indoctrination and cultural hegemony are much more sophisticated in the u.s. than in the ussr. the ussr used fear and agitprop bureaus to maintain hegemony. The West creates the illusion of democracy through media saturation which creates false consumer needs and creates the illusion of democracy by placing the bourgeois party line under the guise of cable news "debate."
well i should be more clear. i just made that comment in passing a while ago. by excesses i refer to things like pornography, third world imperialism, and high concentrations of capital in the business class. The reasons that things function so well in the first world is because things function poorly in third world countries that provide the west with resources and markets at the expense of their own people. this provides this relieves the pressure on the first world working class.
some of the worst porn comes from the former soviet union.third world imperialism my ass,we improve the lot of every country that trades with us,your spouting more of the ideological indoctrination bezmenov said you'll never be able to over come.you've been trained to hate capitolism the most fair system in the world,provided your not a shiftless dreg,socialism is a fanatical religion and once your indoctrinated you can never give it up
well as for porn,over indulgence is a common flaw of people released from living an ascetic lifestyle, and no one is perfect.now what you sound like imo is an apologist for bezmenov, i'm not being an apologist for the usa or ussr. for 3rd world, there are many cases of dictatorships backed by the u.s. having their people make commercial products for export rather than using resources for necessary internal uses. as for being trained to hate capitalism i went to an evangelical high school so, no.
you are proving my point,your fanaticaly anticapitolist and can't help yourself.you'll defend socialism till your last breath.i agree not many high schools will try ideological indoctrination on the same level as a university,which is were most of this pro socialism anti capitalist brainwashing goes on,like bezmenov said he could take you to russia and show you socialisms failure and still you wouldn't believe,your part of the lost generation he's speaks of.better to train the next
well as for college i went to a state school with very main stream teachers. so no one there pushed socialism. in fact you'll find that most intellectuals proudly fancy themselves part of the u.s./capitalist establishment even if they aren't. as for "socialism" even western industrial powers and capitalist third world countries use nationalization, the state sector and collectivization to keep their economies moving. So i guess I'm not alone there.
As for the USSR, I'm totality aware of the autocratic excesses that existed there. I have acquaintances who were scared Pentecostal Christians who lived in Western Ukraine who were afraid of being labeled dissidents. I also have a good friend who was just a normal guy who grew up in the Khrushchev era and we talk about the problems.I'm not denying that huge problems existed in the soviet system. you on the other hand ignore the huge problems in the 1st and 3rd world capitalist systems.
not just the ussr,china,all the former eastern block,cuba,venezuela,on and on.these so called problems with capitalism are nothing compared to the pathology of socialism,yes you can pervert the free market with socialism that only narrows the freedom of the consumer,limiting choices and freedom.hate to keep repeating,but the fact you hate the fairest form of government ever concieved,and defend the most horrid (socialism) proves bezmenov's claim that your brainwashed and incurable.
