Lawful social hierarchy does exist. The state should defend our divine and human rights. It is true that not all have equal rights in civil society. The solution to the unsual suffering of our times is not moral liberalism, but rather the infusion of social justice and the sentiment of Christian love into the social-economic order. Pope Pius XI explains, "...sound prosperity is to be restored according to the true principles of a sane corporative system which respects the proper hierarchic structure of society; and how all the occupational groups should be fused into a harmonious unity inspired by the principle of the common good."
Hi Lazarus, Thanks for bringing up the Rules for the Discernment of St. Ignatius. Specifically the one that says, “In time of desolation never to make a change;..." which is very important. I think, very often we spoil the good progress we've made during the difficult times. St. Ignatius' writings have been very influential in my spiritual growth. The ideas that he touches upon in his books have transformed me and I hope they have the same positive effect for those listening.

Hi Jeffrey, The headquarters of evil is outside of this world, in hell, as St. Paul teaches. "we are not fighting flesh and blood, but the powers of the air" As far as physical headquarters goes, there are many definitive places that are laid out in the magisterium as wicked. For instance, Masonic lodges are magisterially labelled as "the synagogue of satan" by Pope Leo XIII, this would mean that London (where there is the 1st lodge) is supremely wicked, same with Washington DC. It is true that The state of Theodor Herzl is also evil, as St. Pius X and others condemned their movement and is an antichristian political system, so that will also apply. There is also Hollywood, and other places outside of Russia. Germany also counts due to Lutheranism, formally condemned at the Council of Trent, etc. Russia was spreading error and it did, but is not as if the west was spotless during 1917 or before that, the 1st lodge of London was opened in 1717. It's important to keep a panoramic perspective.
We are only obligated to believe (in absolute terms) what is part of the Magisterium. The book you referenced is not part of the magisterium. Russia is also currently a state run by finance and capital. Invading a country is not intrinsically communistic, many monarchies invaded countries. On my side, I side with Pope Pius XI and his definition of communism.
Hi Jeffrey, There are logical inconsistencies with the Perestroika Deception. Just exploring some points: 1- It is illogical to think that if an idea/intention is written in a book (Perestroika Deception - 1995 book by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn), then it necessarily means it will come to fruition in real life or that it should be given a higher standard of credence. 2- It is not logical to think that Bolshevik communism can be defined as the same entity as the esoteric communism that the Perestroika Deception describes. 3- The invaded nation (which has life through its people) plays a big role in whether the ideology will be internalized by the people and although a national hierarchy can be infiltrated, it does not mean that its people will internalize the propaganda as its own. We have, for example, Afghanistan, where the Bolshevik communists replaced Afghanistan's leadership with communist empathizers and yet got nowhere near making the actual Afghan people embrace communism. Ironically, the war with Afghanistan is what depleted the Soviet Union economically and played a big role in the downfall of the Soviet Union. I bend my knee to Pope Pius XI's assessment on why Bolshevik communism ended. That's to say, mainly among others: no natural right accorded to human personality, the imposed brutality and terrorism to make its people be "productive" which is not sustainable, the denial of the supreme reality: God. I'm sure the communists wanted the West disarmed while allowing hardcore communists to secretly retain power, but it was just wishful thinking.
Blessed be the Immaculate heart of Mary which triumphs over our enemies. I hope you continue to pray the Rosary daily, so that the gentle grace and peace of Mother Mary lights your path.
The Catholic church did not hesitate to present for the public devotion and veneration of the faithful the Feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin.
