Part 3
Countering the subversion process
Each stage can be countered. I did not write these counter-strategies and cannot remember where I saw them.
Demoralization - countered by restricting the propaganda.
Destabilization - countered by curbing the rights or mitigating effects of agitators.
Crisis - countered by strong reactions to keep things working and to crack down on the subversive actors.
Normalization - only violence will reverse it once it has been instituted.
Organized ideological subversion must be met with a strong response, organized, decentralized, whatever, it must be strong and it must be widespread through the population, otherwise it will proliferate.
(An observation by someone: Subversion is cultural - it becomes part of the culture in certain places. On youtube there are people that are in Russia that are strongly opposed to the Russian government. It seems all of them spent time on US campuses when they were in college, which is ironic.)

Additional notes:
Demoralization -
Bezmenov said the first stage, Demoralization, could take 15 to 20 years to complete because “this is the minimum number of years it takes to educate one generation of students.”
“Marxist-Leninist ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism,” he warned in 1984, judging that the demoralization process had been “basically completed” by that point. My opinion is that this was very limited in its success. It took at least another generation for this to become noticeable IMO.

“Most of it is done by Americans to Americans, thanks to a lack of moral standards.” Bezmenov explained that demoralization is important because it robs the targeted population of its ability to process valid information. Even when demoralization targets are “showered with authentic proof” of contrary positions, they simply “refuse to believe it.”
Demoralization is quite obvious among today’s young people, whose faith in their country has been systematically destroyed throughout their lives by the education and media establishment. To take a recent high-profile example, the New York Times’ fraudulent “1619 Project” argued that “American history” actually began with the arrival of black slaves in North America and the Revolutionary War was fought by the colonists to preserve slavery. Although comprehensively debunked by actual historians, and even the original author has admitted her core thesis was not true, the 1619 Project is now part of some school curricula.  

This stage is also characterized by a rejection of truth, as anyone who has tried using facts and figures in a debate recently understands firsthand:
"Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information, the facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures."

Unfortunately, Bezmenov implies, reality will register all too late, when those who brushed facts aside are subjected to the heavy hand of a military state.

Leftists: all these professors and woke activists, they are instrumental in the process of the subversion, only to destabilize the nation. When the job is completed, they’re not needed anymore. They know too much.

Destabilization
The second stage, Destabilization, is much faster, requiring only two to five years under KGB doctrine. In this stage, the fundamentals of the targeted population’s economy, political system, and culture would be attacked, while the demoralized population could not mount much of a defense. 
Bezmenov in 1984 found it “absolutely fantastic” how much influence Marxist-Leninist ideas had developed in the American economy and military. In essence, a demoralized population becomes willing to believe the worst criticisms of its own society, while learning to see defenders of that society as their enemies, while avowed enemies become natural allies. The defenders are held to strict standards, while anything goes for the most strident critics.
 
Whatever Bezmenov saw in the destabilized American society of the early 1980s with respect to the Soviet Union, it’s easy to see how the American Left has destabilized entire segments of modern society after demoralizing them. They see enemies everywhere, while no pro-American authority can be trusted.
...destabilized people lose faith in each other.
