He will have to answer that one, but I suspect it involves the infiltration
of cultural and societal institutions in order to influence what is taught,
what behaviors become acceptable, etc.  That is what I took from his
original posts.

Krushev's "We will bury you" comment has been taken by some not to mean by
military aggression or financial means, but by infiltrating our education
system.

Companies have internal politics.  If people are willing to join the
company and be part of the collective atmosphere, allowing the company
leader (s) to provide for and make most of their decisions for them...

Not saying it is likely, but it is not impossible.

There have been companies that have been close to theocracies, too.

But they can be, and that does sound like what a communist commune would do.
