#1 ‐ only to watch pieces of it rise again, he claims, and all with the conniving of the West.

Cause the f****** ruling caste refused to hold those in the West accountable for their long betrayal of Western Civilization with the fall of the Wall. They wanted a more 'kinder gentler' world. You don't use aspirin to cure cancer.

#2 Not exactly true. More likely, our government became infested with communists during certain political eras more than others.

#4 redefining history to show it was from within that this happened. There are dissenters in every nation, the USSR spent their treasure in finances fighting the cold war, and their human treasure in Afghanistan. They were broken and coming apart by the time Bukovsky came around to try and steal credit.

#5 Two forces fighting each other eventually look the same. Think about it.

There was an interesting SciFi story done this way. Two species battling across the universe. At one point the Earth side makes humans and a planet with a similar planetary ecology to the enemy. The enemy knows their biology and ecology so knows how to bio/chem/radiation attack it. Earth fights strongly from the planet and looks at each attack modifying it to be more effective and returns the favor to the enemies colonies. At some point it gets good enough to do it to the enemies home planets and exterminate them. Then it needs to write off it's modified enemy like planets and people so they are not a future threat.

The point? For 70 years each was doing the same. The Soviets even had US cities and one assumes we did the same or had think tanks doing the same (or universities). After the win over communism we didn't shut these down...

#6 Declared insane (as were thousands of other dissidents), Bukovsky relied on what he called "the implacable force of one man’s refusal to submit." He was a tiny leaven of truth against the abuse of psychiatry, but even that small truth won out.

Sounds familiar. We're going through our own (Deep) State-sanctioned perversion of psychiatry in this country as well. So many absurd notions are being forced upon us, daily, by the collective madness that is identity politucs wokeness and its machinery of repression in the form of denunciations, career or professional death, Twitter mobs, corporate HR Gestapo and their idiotic speech codes, "unconscious bias training," "diversity & inclusion" re-education camps and Thoughtcrime suppression.

Bukovsky is us.
