Though the video seems interesting, I would say its relation to reality is tenuous at best

You misunderestimate Communists. That such strategies are commonly discussed among them is simply a fact. That the KGB was attempting (successful of not) to use these strategies might surprise a few Western Gramsciites who still love to sneer at “stupid Russians”.

Anotnio Gramsci, the Italian Communist leader, is the patron saint of neo-Stalinist cultural work, especially emphasis on taking over and controlling education as part of building toward “The Revolution”. “Cultural studies” and “critical theory” are contemporary code words often referring to Gramsci’s successors in American & European academia.

Other important proponents of “critical theory” are the German “Frankfurt School” (see the Wikipedia article). Herbert Marcuse inspired our own “New Left” in the 1960′s.

Though the Weathermen started out pretty wild, woolly [and imaginative] New Leftists, by the time they went underground and their manifesto Prairie Fire was published, they had transitioned into traditional Stalinists (“Democratic-Centralism” to all you old lefties out there), much like the then-famous Progressive Labor party that Wikipedia’s article claims helped them make the transition.

Bill Ayers = unrepentent Stalinist

Oh me! Oh my! How can I say such a ridiculous thing as that? … Well, uh, it’s true?

Hey, we’re talking ’bout MY generation, baby! Right on! … whatever.
