US Press: "During the Cold War, we had a secret weapon against the USSR, this is their communism"

The American press openly write that the modern world is in a state of another Cold War. Recall that immediately after the collapse of the USSR, the United States declared themselves victors in such a war. On this occasion, an unofficial award even appeared in the States, which was called "For Victory in the Cold War", with the dates displayed on one of its sides - September 2, 1945 - December 26, 1991.



Now American reporters and analysts are wondering how the United States can win a new war of this type.

In particular, the American columnist Bret Stevens of the New York Times makes interesting conclusions and remarks in his material. According to him, which can cause considerable surprise, the United States “had a secret weapon against the USSR ”, and this weapon, according to Stevens, is communism.

We had a secret weapon against them and that is their communism.

According to the American journalist, communism was a burden "for the imperial Russian state."
From the material:

Even with a multitude of nuclear warheads, the Soviet Union ran out of steam as there were problems with labor relations.

Bret Stevens even quotes the well-known expression "They pretend to pay, but we pretend to work." It was noted that in fact the citizens themselves were no longer interested in preserving the system.

Now, according to Stevens, there is a new Cold War, but with China. And in this war, the United States will also try to achieve "victory". The author claims a threat from China, including a threat from its arms deals and intelligence-sharing deals with Iran.

At NYT:

It's time to think about what our secret weapon might be like now.

The "Chinese personality cult", "nationalism" and "Chinese state regulation" are considered as options.
Using any of these "tools" does not mean the US needs to act without allies, Stevens said.

Thus, the American press once again emphasizes that any relations in the international arena with those whom the US itself regards as opponents are viewed exclusively from the standpoint of waging war (be it "cold" or "hot").

    And the United States has no allies, it only has vassals with varying degrees of obstinacy.

            Wonderful American Self-Revealing That US Governments never were not, are not and will not be friends of Russia and the Russians. Hence the conclusion: allWho is FOR friendship with the Americans and supports them - either ... very stupid people, or - the enemies of Russia and the Russians. Though separate there are reasonable Americans, of course.

          the policy of Alexander III led to a huge failure in perspective.
          he practically threw all his resources into providing an outward appearance of stability and tranquility, but in reality the foundation was being destroyed. It was the fruits of his policy that went to Nikolai # 2, who did not take out the tangle of accumulated problems.
          So his beautiful phrase is actually a delusion that needs to be corrected.
          Much more effective was the policy of Stalin, who cared for the state much deeper, creating the foundations of production and political stability both inside and around the perimeter.
          A kind of intermediate middle is the Kaiserreich's policy, when they managed to maneuver for some time, increasing the economy, but in the end they were eaten by external political problems.
          And this example suggests that the course of Alexander III, even in the most optimistic expectations, was a dead end.

          He did not say. This he said in the 90s. I suspect that the ideologist of the catastrophe is Yakovlev. He underwent an internship at Columbia University together with the traitor Oleg Kalugin. By the way, according to some sources, the writer Ivan Efremov was an English spy. With the chase Riki-Tiki-Tavi. He loved to receive guests at home, and he wound himself on a mustache. And I rode all over the country, like a geologist. I sniffed out the missile silos. The KGB surrounded him tightly, the British could not get him out, and he committed suicide. He was a yogi, he stopped his heart. But don't believe me, it's all fantastic. From Ravil Bikbaev. "Over the precipice along the edge of the sword." He invented everything. The author's fiction, as he himself wrote. He named him Efimov. True, the KGB searched Efremov's house for three days, after his death, but these are all insignificant trifles.

              Comrade Savinkin N.I.

              November 4, 1972 with the aim of the possible detection of anti-Soviet literature, on the basis of a resolution sanctioned by the First Deputy Prosecutor General of the USSR, comrade Malyarov M.P., at the apartment of Ivan Antonovich Efremov, born in 1907, non-partisan, science fiction writer, who died on October 5, 1972, officers of the KGB in the mountains. Moscow and the Moscow region were searched.

              The search order was presented to Efremov's widow, TI Efremova, about which she signed.

              The search was carried out in compliance with the procedural rules, and Efremova did not make any claims against the employees of the state security bodies.

              During the search, a document of a sharply anti-Soviet nature was seized (it was later established that the author of this document was a certain Geynrikhs, living in the city of Frunze), as well as a number of items that could have been used by Efremov in carrying out illegal activities.

              Part of the seized items after their examination by specialists was returned to Efremova.

              Materials on IA Efremov were reported to the authorities.

              No, Ravil Bikbaev taught at the institute. There was also a former KGB officer with whom they crossed paths in Afghanistan. He saw that Ravil Efremova was reading, told him the whole story. Efremov was accidentally caught. He scribbled his ciphers right in the books. One meticulous lieutenant reading his book, suddenly discovered the coordinates of his own military unit of the Strategic Missile Forces. For a long time they could not believe that this scientist was a hardened English spy. How was he called the singer of communism. Then this KGB officer discovered a childhood photo of Ephraim, where he stood with his yoga teacher in a turban in India. The son of an English officer. The KGB sat down on him so tightly that the British wrote him off. They didn't pull him out. One of the KGB officers told him that Efremov was about to be arrested, so he committed suicide. Neither ours nor the British made the story public. The British were silent, because they copied him cleanly, this Riki-Tiki-Tavi, and ours - because he was considered a famous communist writer. So everyone kept quiet. Ravil was told this story by a former employee, no one would believe it anyway. Bikbaev and wrote the book. "Over the precipice along the edge of the sword." Moreover, he defended this version quite fiercely. And although he wrote the name of Efimov in the book, everyone knows who he wrote about. Believe Tatarsha or not is everyone's business. Personally, I like this version. And Efremov is really a talent. It is necessary to write books in such a way that the coordinates in them should be encrypted, if it is true. Try, get to the bottom ... But the logic in the words of the former KGB officer was. Well, or at Bikbaev's, if he composed everything.

        It is not necessary, in the cowardly manner of the enemies of the communists, to dump the blame for the crimes of some people on others. As they say, in every crime, look for someone who benefits. And the destruction of the USSR and the CPSU was beneficial only to the enemies of the Communists and the USSR. And your "Liberator" Gorbachev, having become General Secretary, spent 2-3 years preparing a counter-revolution, removing real, by convictions, communists from the highest echelons of power.

        If I knew that such a life would come, I would go to Moscow to beat the muzzles, to the fucking hungry Muscovites that they were drowning in the square for Yeltsin. By the way, the people went out to defend the USSR. So don't la-la. The communists gathered huge demonstrations. But history is written by the winners. Then for some reason it seemed that we would keep all the Soviet buns and at the same time get all the advantages of capitalism. It doesn't work that way. Gorbach ruined everything with his reforms, and Yeltsin at that time seemed like a hero against his background. Boris, you are wrong, you are a Leo!

        The process began long before Mishan, when Soviet people began to turn into galimous petty bourgeois without an idea, preoccupied solely with getting (not buying, but getting) as many different household goods as possible. I remember very well the main elements of the "good life" of that time: carpet on the wall, color TV, more crystal in the wall (made in the GDR or SFRY), and more scarce food in the refrigerator and imported clothes on the carcass. Voila. The very same great idea by that time had been replaced by a set of empty duty slogans shouted on duty at demonstrations and pushed in at party meetings. In fact, all this could be described in three words: lie, tryndezh and provocation.

We got 50 varieties of plastic sausage, imported rags and equipment, but we lost everything we owned. American propaganda worked to the fullest. Remember the articles which cigarettes are better?

All products are shoved with flavor enhancers, if earlier everyone was slim, but now obesity from palm oil ... And the people in the 90s seemed to go berserk. I looked at the queue at McDonald's, grabbed my head: Guys, what are you guys? Standing half a day to have a sausage sandwich? You have nothing to do? Ahhh ... American Big Mac! What happiness!

            Now I don't drink these beer drinks, but before I could easily master 5-6 mugs. Zhigulevskoe beer had to mature for about 30 days in oak barrels and the alcohol content was 2,8-3,2% of natural fermentation according to GOST. And GOST regulated such quality of beer as drinkability, i.e. the mug could be drunk in one gulp. When, during the Soviet era, I went abroad and out of curiosity I bought a German canned beer, I didn’t drink enough and threw this muck into the trash can. And the strongest was in my opinion Velvet or Leningradskoe up to 5%, but it fermented for up to 45 days. The main capacities of the breweries were determined by the area of ​​the cellars. Now, for example in the Czech Republic, traditional recipes for brewing beer are being stimulated legislatively and economically.

But the fact that you, the enemies of the Communists, after the capture of the USSR by you, staged a genocide of peoples, and only in Russia alone, half of the USSR, the supermortality rate after the capture of Russia by you amounted to more than 15 million people is a reality. But your "philanthropy" does not apply to the victims of your post-Soviet period, you only need it to slander the communists.

          "Supermortality" is also found in Germany, Switzerland, Japan and South Korea. The most developed countries have the largest population decline, and the most backward ones have the greatest growth. So stop comparing the current imposing hedonism with the massacres of the Bolshevik Red Terror.
          "libelous accusations" have long been sorted to pieces even in Wikipedia articles. 4 million - great terror, 2 million - red terror, 7 million - hunger 30x, 5 million - hunger 20x ... and this is not the whole list. and this is only the USSR, in China the scale was much larger. And then there is such a wonderful country as Cambodia, where the local zealous communists in 3 years from the 8 million population of the country destroyed more than 3
          However, the power of Marxist propaganda is striking even now - after all, there are still a lot of fools around, who, although they have lost faith in Soviet power, continue to believe in the Marxist "idea".

Enemies of the communists are real only when they have no benefit to lie and hypocrite in their vile and criminal purposes, and no matter how diligently they portray themselves as "great philanthropists" in their slander against the communists, which is the only justification for their capture of the USSR in 30 years outside of it, they all proved their true inhuman nature.

Starting with slander and filth on the history of Ingushetia, ending stealthily as theft by burying the beloved leader of Stalin. They distorted and spat in history for the sake of ideological gain, history now spits at them, what they sowed and got.

      No, communism was just a weapon of the USSR, a very powerful weapon, not an encumbrance in any way. They confuse something.

      Absolutely nothing is confused.
      They say that communism was a horror story for the whole world, thanks to which it was possible to rally the countries in front of the communist threat.
      And now there is no communism in Russia, and accordingly there is no horror story, and it is no longer possible to rally the countries against Russia. That's why they grieve.

    I myself came to this conclusion a long time ago. Russian people in the USSR could give their lives in the war, work until they lose their pulse, perform any feats, etc. The communists behind their backs would have fucked everything up, sooner or later. Although the Soviet leaders are also not particularly guilty - they did what they could and as best they could, within the framework of the existing system. It's just that communism as a social system is based on Marxist ideology. And it is fundamentally wrong and flawed, on its basis it is impossible to create any "new society" or even truly explain the old.

        Marx's activities have nothing to do with science. A scientist is a person seeking objective truth. Marx is a frenzied propagandist, wherever he can and must not put his "class struggle" on. The true essence of his "teaching" is to divide society into artificially created collective entities, and then oppose them to each other, seizing power on the wave of this conflict. Perhaps not out of the blue, but the point is not in striving for ideals and not building a new society, but in the "divide and rule" scheme. Destroy the best with the hands of the latter, in order to take their place later. By the way, the Marxists never had any "progressive system", even in the most general theory. An ordinary Asian dictatorship, perhaps with an exaggerated role of the state. They did not "build" any "communism" - the Soviet system was formed by the 30s and the whole Soviet history did not fundamentally change, except that mass terror ceased to be used as a method of state administration over time (after which the system immediately began to lose its effectiveness).

        Returning to the essence of Marxism, in my opinion, it is best revealed by a fragment of the speech of Aaron Moiseevich ("Yakov Mikhailovich") Sverdlov - man No. 2 in the Bolshevik hierarchy, the true author (together with Bronstein-Trotsky) of the October coup, Ulyanov's deputy after the assassination attempt, "demon revolution ", the author of" decossackization "and the Red Terror:

        “We must seriously raise before ourselves the question of stratification in the countryside, the question of creating two opposing hostile forces in the countryside, and set ourselves the task of opposing the poorest strata of the population to the kulak elements in the countryside. Only if we can split the village into two irreconcilably hostile camps, if we can ignite there the same civil war that went on not so long ago in the cities, if we manage to restore the rural poor against the rural bourgeoisie only if we can say that we are doing in relation to the village what we could do for the cities. (...) I have no doubt that we will be able to put work in the countryside to the proper level. "

        - here it is, and not tales of the "bright future" are Marxism.

And the truth is that the enemies of the communists, including those who pretended to benefit from the communists and their supporters, staged a counter-revolution in the USSR in order to destroy everything that the communists and their supporters created, and to become the same rich and richest parasites on the neck of the poor people that they threw off Bolsheviks after the October Revolution.

      Where did they come from, all these enemies? Did they come from Mars? Whose children came to power in the 90s? Aren't they communists? Yegor Gaidar is the son of a wonderful revolutionary writer, on whose books I grew up. Chubais's father is a hero of the Second World War and a teacher of Marxism-Leninism in Leningrad. And so if you look at the biography of any of the "celebrities of the 90s" you will see the All-Union Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks), smart and wonderful parents and so on ... Nemtsov, Khodorkovsky, Yavlinsky, Berezovsky - they are all flesh from the flesh of Soviet society. So maybe there was something wrong with society, if it gave rise to "enemies"?

    Breshet mattress cover. Communism was the weapon, the banner, which the whole world looked at with admiration. At least until the middle of the 20th century, for sure. It was communism that prompted Western countries to make large-scale changes in the field of social guarantees for workers. As soon as the USSR collapsed, the USA also began to decline - profit for business owners became more important than jobs in the USA itself, hence the withdrawal of industrial sites to Asia with the subsequent loss of many real jobs.

    It was communism that prompted Western countries to make large-scale changes in the field of social guarantees for workers. As soon as the USSR collapsed, the USA also began to decline

    Paradoxically, this is also true. However, it is impossible to build communism on a state scale. The communist system discourages people from working productively. Moreover, everyone is beaten off from the janitor to the minister.

    there was a secret weapon against the USSR, this is their communism "
    Come on, communism is in competent hands, the greatest force. The "secret weapon" of the United States was the corrupt and rotten Soviet "elite". On the other hand, Russia also has a "secret weapon" against the West, this is their capitalism. laughing Something lately, he somehow does not smell, but quite the opposite, he smells like a dead horse. The fact that the collapse of the Union, they only delayed their agony, suggests that the "theorists of communism", speaking of decaying capitalism, were absolutely right.

    Their secret weapons were Komsomol and party functionaries (with some exceptions, of course), not communism.
