“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”
― Yuri Bezmenov

“Nationalism is the belief that your nation is superior to all other nations, which means all other nations are inferior to your nation. You then believe everyone else is subhuman; they’re not as good as you. If you are a mediocre person with mediocre IQ, mediocre life, believing you’re from the master race, you can look down on everybody else. It gives people, who have a meaningless life, a false sense of meaning and a false sense of value. Nationalism has been around for 230 years, making the world a really crappy place. There is no nation that is better than the next, and people who believe that are just stupid and haven’t traveled enough.”
