No wonder the NPC meme was so effective it got labeled as "hate speech". There's a reason why Bezmenov said that at some point legislation and debate simply aren't sufficient to counteract the process. At some point there will be war, and either the useful idiots will be killed during it or they will be killed after it by those they helped bring to power. To look at the faces and hear the voices of the demoralized is to stare into the very face of the utterly dehumanized through indoctrination.
Socialism/Communism utterly strips all moral fiber and logical acuity in favor of the ideology which pits all opposed or neutral to the ideology as the enemy, and the enemy is deserving of any evil that befalls them (hence the mass rape campaigns, the public genocide/lynchings, the evils of the gulags, Black Maria vans etc.). As for those under the ideology? They must refrain from ever speaking anything that would undermine the champions of the ideology (hence the tolerance of pedophilia and silencing of victims in Stalin's government).
Victims are silenced. Truths that would undermine the ideology or its champions are erased or concealed. Any and all cruelty is justified against those opposed to the ideology and/or its champions. It's expected you, being faithful to the ideology, are to spy on your fellow ideologues continually to watch for treachery, and if found you must expose them, report them, shame them and regard them as dead to you no matter who they are (spouse, child, etc.)
In short:
Socialism is literally a cult. It meets all the qualifications of a cult by any definition. It's the world most successful, widespread and enduring cult without deity.
So when you see/hear people speaking this way like "I'd support [ideological champion] even if he raped my child", just remember that, historically speaking-- people did

1914: Arctic Sex Comedy Biography of Young Stalin pg 39
Sverdlov may have disapproved of Stalin’s seduction of the thirteen – year – old, the latest in a line of adolescent girls romanced by the thirty – something Georgian. And Stalin may well have thrown him out in order to enjoy more privacy with his little mistress. But this was far from the end of the scandal. ... At night, Lidia would creep into his room, recounts Stalin’s first biographer, Essad Bey, who must have talked to fellow exiles. Certainly she was not shy about recalling what underwear he favored—“He wore white underwear and a sailor – striped vest,” she confided to her interviewer in 1952 when Stalin was almost worshiped as a demigod."
... The affair might have remained tolerable, but there was worse to come: Lidia fell pregnant with Stalin’s child.
... For decades there were rumours of Stalin’s rape or seduction of a girl in Turukhansk and his fathering a child. [...] The stories were repeated in biographies and sensational newspaper articles but seemed outlandish, presumably just anti-Stalin myths. But it is confirmed by the KGB in General Serov’s 18 July 1956 memorandum to First Secretary Khrushchev and the Politburo. Serov, a brutal Stalinist secret policeman, had the sense to separate himself from Beria [known major serial pedophile and rapist] and attach himself to Khrushchev. After Stalin’s death, he assisted Khrushchev in the arrest and execution of Beria, becoming the first Chairman of the KGB, the new version of the secret police. His memo was read in secrecy at a Politburo meeting and signed by all Stalin’s old henchmen before being consigned to the top secret “Special File.”
Keep it secret. Keep them silent. Whatever it takes for the ideology...
