KGB Tactics: Useful Idiots and Political Subversion

You see, the useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialist or communist or whatever system,

when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies.

That's why my KGB instructors specifically made a point,

never bother with leftists.

Forget about these political prostitutes.

Aim higher. But to eliminate the others,

to execute the others, don't they serve some purpose?

Wouldn't they be the ones we rely on?

They serve purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation.

For example, your leftists in the United States, all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders,

they are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize the nation.

When their job is completed, they are not needed anymore.

They know too much.

Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power, obviously they get offended.

They think that they will come to power.

That will never happen, of course.

They will be lined up against the wall and shot.

But they may turn into the most bitter enemies of Marxist-Leninists when they come to power.

And that's what happened in Nicaragua.

You remember most of these former Marxist-Leninists were either put to prison or one of them split.

And now he's working against Sandinistas. It's the same pattern everywhere.

The moment they serve their purpose, all these useful idiots are either executed entirely,

all the idealistically minded Marxists,

or were exiled or put in prisons like in Cuba.

Many former Marxists are in Cuba,

I mean in prison.
