NTD has produced a special TV series adapted from the book “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World,“ by the editorial team of ”Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.“ Watch the tenth episode, ”Infiltrating the West Pt. 4,” here. Communist countries practice strict control over speech and thought. However, since the 1980s, another form of speech and thought control has appeared in the West. Thought police use the banner of “political correctness” to run amok in the media, society, and education system, using slogans and mass criticism to restrain speech and thought. Even though many have already felt the evil power of its control, they have not grasped its ideological origins. Phrases such as “political correctness,” together with “progress” and “solidarity,” have long been used by communist parties. Their superficial meaning is to avoid using discriminatory language toward minorities, women, the disabled, and others. For example, “black people” are to be called “African Americans,” American Indians are to be called “Native Americans,” illegal immigrants are to be called “undocumented workers,” and so on. However, the hidden implication behind political correctness is to classify individuals into groups according to their victim status. Those who are the most oppressed should, therefore, be accorded the most respect and courtesy. This judgment is rendered solely on one’s identity, disregarding individual conduct and talent, is the basis of what’s called “identity politics.”   ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV 👉 https://www.epochtv.com/ 💛 Support us to fight for the truth!  👉 https://donorbox.org/epochtv

NTD has produced a special TV series adapted from the book “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World,“ by the editorial team of ”Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.“ Watch the ninth episode, ”Infiltrating the West Pt. 3,” here. When the street revolution of Western youths was in full swing in the 1960s, there was one who dismissed their naivety, sincerity, and idealism. “If the real radical finds that having long hair sets up psychological barriers to communication and organization, he cuts his hair,” he said. The man was Saul Alinsky, a radical activist who wrote books, taught students, and personally oversaw the implementation of his theories, eventually becoming the “para-communist” agitator with the most baneful influence for decades. Aside from his worship of Lenin and Castro, Alinsky also explicitly praised the devil himself. In his book Rules for Radicals, one of the epigraphs says, “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.”   ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV 👉 https://www.epochtv.com/ 💛 Support us to fight for the truth!  👉 https://donorbox.org/epochtv

NTD has produced a special TV series adapted from the book “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World,“ by the editorial team of ”Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.“ Watch the eighth episode, ”Infiltrating the West Pt. 2,” here. Since the Communist Party does not have leadership over Western countries, communist supporters, wittingly or not, disguise themselves by infiltrating all sorts of organizations and institutions. There are at least four major forces driving communist subversion in the West. The first agent of subversion was the Soviet Union, which founded the communist Third International (Comintern) to spread revolution worldwide. The second means of subversion was effected by local communist parties, which worked with the Soviet Communist Party and the Comintern. Third, economic crisis and social upheaval have encouraged many Western governments to adopt socialist policies in the last few decades, resulting in a steady shift to the left. The fourth force of subversion comes from those who sympathize with and support the Communist Party and socialism. These fellow travelers serve communism as a fifth column of “useful idiots” within Western society, helping to destroy its culture, sow moral degeneracy, and undermine legitimate government.   ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV 👉 https://www.epochtv.com/ 💛 Support us to fight for the truth!  👉 https://donorbox.org/epochtv
