		<description><![CDATA[The need of truth and sincerity (maybe also as an antidote to that ubiquitous fear which us, in Romania, also experienced especially during the last years of Ceausescu&#039;s regime) in social life was promoted also by Vaclav Havel but the distance between communism in former Czechoslovakia and USSR is like the one between a nasty hospital and the Gulag. So, what those unfortunate people experienced in Russia completely justifies the bitter truth which ends the article - although tries to bring about a smile. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that every communist thinks that communism &quot;just needs one more chance to get it right&quot;, and that &quot;Stalin wasn&#039;t a &#039;TRUE COMMUNIST&quot;? 
 
Answer to the first question:  One more chance for communism?  PERISH THE THOUGHT - literally.  The world gives these genocidal, idiot communist douchebags one more chance, and that&#039;s the end of the human race...which really seems to be what these Leftist &quot;progressive&quot;, genocidal  @ssholes really want.  They should do us all a favor;  they should lead the way!  Set an exampe - they should start blowing their own sh*t-filled head off.  &#039;K?  
 
Answer to the second question (along the same lines as #1):  If Stalin was any more true a communist, there wouldn&#039;t have been a single human being left alive in the USSR.  They&#039;d all have been murdered outright, or perished in the Gulag.  THEN all the idiot pin-headed Leftist fellow-travelers would cheer &quot;perfect communism in the Soviet Union!&quot;  Except nobody would be alive there to hear it. 
 
Better free than Red.  Or dead. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Political culture of the leaders, how they think and make decisions is important to understand their politics. However, in case of heretical Gorbachev who pop up from marasmatic Politburo such approach turned to be not heuristic: It&#039;s &quot;a mystery how could Andropov ignore the heretical potential in his prot&#233;g&#233;.&quot; I think that study of MASS political culture is more promising in our attempts to grasp the meaning of events or at least in case of revolutions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vladimir- 
 
Am reading your book right now and am going to track down your cites from the Journal of Cold War Studies today. I know what educators globally seemed to be aware of from about 1986 on so the Marxist mind is of particular interest to me at the moment.  
 
Do you remember the philosophy of Evald Ilyenkov and &quot;theoretically guided education&quot; and the work Davydov did with the DiaMat update of Ascending from the Abstract to the Concrete? The actual K-12 Common Core in the US but also ed reform globally are full of the use of this theory.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/desiring-a-radical-dialectic-change-in-social-reality-necessitates-enduring-misunderstandings/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/desiring-a-ra...&lt;/a&gt; is the most recent story laying out how it is coming to classrooms all over the West. Not by name in the classroom but by name by the profs pushing it and training teachers to use it. 
 
Your quote about a post-Thermidor socialism after 1991 sure does fit with what the UN agencies and the OECD in particular are pushing. 
 
Now I will add Glazov to my reading list. The Three Faces of Marxism is already enroute. Thanks for your insights. 
 
Muzzling the mind is back except this time education is being used to try to remove the dichotomy between the private and citizen. Silly state legislatures are even falling into the trap and passing Whole Child legislation. Arkansas just did. How naive. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Totalitarian thought police are the purview of the left and Islamists, one of the ties that bind. But the primary one is their anti-American hatred. 
With this in mind, is it any wonder that a clear head must be kept, thus alerting to when mind control is exerted, especially when least expected - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma-the-same-world-over-freedom-loving-people-beware-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-32-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
In this regard, outing the leadership&#039;s omerta (re Islam plus terror) is top priority -  &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/04/23/the-incalculable-price-of-moral-relativism-the-co-option-of-freedom-of-speech-its-direct-nexus-to-bostons-jihad-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/04/23/the-incalcula...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Can&#039;t be any more lucid than described within.
