It is rare that people are truly interested in ugly side of history, politics, or human nature. In search for such people I have decided to share some of my experiences with one ugly side of communism -- brainwashing and control of “intellectual” elite.

In recent years, there appears to be (finally) some growing unease among the Americans over what it is that the public schools really “teach.” Many people cannot understand why would somebody ever come up with “sex-ed,” or “death-ed,” or fanatical environmental “science,” or “political correctness,” and push it on kids who barely know how to read. Many of those who do the pushing do not know either -- they are only “doing their jobs.” While these school programs might look illogical and wasteful, there is logic and a purpose to it.

In my view, using brainwashing tricks on little kids is most disgusting thing imaginable. An adult already has (or at least should) the analytical skills developed to filter out garbage coming in. Kids do not and it is unfair to expect them to. This means that ALL correctly formulated conditioning will generally make it to the kid’s mind (or it’s associative database to be exact using the model I have presented). I see the whole thing as en extremely repulsive thing – how would you feel after discovering that six-year old kids are exposed to beating through punches designed by champion boxers?

This thing has bothered me for many, many years. For me, the first visible sign of trouble in the US was “crossing guards” that I have seen utilized even for high school students. You might not think that this is a big thing – but think about it – you CAN teach a two-year- old dog to cross a street on his own. Yet the system insists on one hand that the high school kids are old enough to have sex, but on the other, they are not advanced enough to be able to cross a street on their own.

Later, by accident, I had a chance to review years of school writing assignments of some American kid. The assignments were not formulated to test any real skills (knowledge of literature, logical thinking, knowledge of geography, history, etc). They were clearly formulated to exercise emotions. This rung the warning bell big time - is a well-known trick of totalitarian systems. The worst application of something like that was treatment of political prisoners who were forced to write an emotional essay about the system every day – or they wouldn’t get food. Sure, it is not a problem to fake something like that once, twice, for a week, or a month – but try doing something like that for several years at a situation where no other stimulants are present. No matter how strong you are, you will end up spilling your soul out and giving in to the dogmas you are forced to write about.

I have discussed the issue with some libertarians and one of them told me that there was a book written on the subject of brainwashing in the American schools:
Inside American Education: The Decline, the Deception, the Dogmas by Thomas Sowell

Long time later, I have found another interesting book on the subject:
Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor Gatto

Both of these books confirmed my fears and provided well-documented evidence that the problem is worse than I suspected. If several different individuals, all from totally different backgrounds reach the same conclusion, there must be something to it. I urge anyone interested in the subject to read these books.

As good as these books are – they do miss one important element in my opinion– the technical analysis of the techniques and goals. I might be very non-objective here, but I think that all people with Polish/Czech/Serb background have much more experience in that matter. There is a good reason for it – we were exposed to it for hundreds of years – all the “tricks” were developed and tried on us in the attempts to merge us into other countries (germanization, russification, etc). In Poland there is both fiction and non-fiction literature on the subject, some of which has been translated.

One book I particularly recommend is this one:
The Inquisitors by Jerzy. Andrzejewski

Unfortunately, this book is very rare. I looked for it for years so I could let my American friends read it. After years of searching I finally purchased from a dealer for a really steep price – over $100. Now the Z-shops are much more effective - you can have it for $14. Some university library may also have it.

Divide and Conquer
Even though communism and other totalitarian systems rely on creation of unsophisticated people as its core base of support, no system can survive without being run by people who do not have exceptional skills. Most people will agree that communism (with its main idea being “To everybody according to his needs, from everybody according to his abilities.”) is by nature destructive to creative, exceptional people. How then can you corrupt enough skilled people to sustain communism’s existence?

To accomplish the above requires a complex system of controlled public education, cultivating of high ambition, dividing the society (into takers and producers), cultivating controlled rebellion, and taking advantage of these divisions to corrupt, brainwash people with potentially high skills.

Anybody who faced controlled schooling in a communist country would go through a roller-coaster of stress and ecstasy, happiness and fury, where a person’s ego would be carefully cultivated only to be trashed in an appropriate moment. All of this served a specific purpose. It is a devilish system that with 100% efficiency sorts and identifies individual people.

In a great simplification, the process would look like this:

I found some old LF posts and wanted to share 'em. I always liked Polak's take on things. I wonder whatever became of him.

Great article!

I've got another for you. How about the brainwashing logic that 18 y.o.'s aren't old enough to smoke and drink according to State law but the young men are required to sign up for selective service. I feel that one needs to be legally challenged as it violates the 13th Amendment re involuntary servitude.

They're also subjected to taxes before they can legally drink. Only a twisted mind could come up with something like that and think it's a good thing.

That's why I strongly feel it needs to be legally challenged. It's one thing to volunteer your time in military service, as that is a personal choice, but not when you are "required" to "volunteer". That's double-speak. Two words with two different meanings. It may be legal where contract law applies as one of the elements where the child is of legal age to enter into contract with the military, but it is not lawful because it conflicts with the 13th Amendment concerning involuntary servitude.

When I was a kid, other kids were patrol guards. We got to wear a little vest and a badge. It was cool. I used to beat kids with my nightstick. I was maybe 8.
